Re: BRU Winter 2024-2025: News, new routes, airlines

And what's happening with the triple bridge they will keep it broken?! They are still using it except the one that is too short. But this has no influence on the normal operations with the aircraft types who are flying currently on BRU. I hope that, if ever Emirates or any other airline introduces ...

How many baggage system breakdowns we have a year? 2, 3, 4?

Re: BRU Winter 2024-2025: News, new routes, airlines

If Emirates is expecting a triple bridge, I think that would be a new (to me) requirement, and they currently send their A380s to airports that do not meet that criteria. In the past, they have certainly insisted on a double-bridge though. They may not have been able to use one when you visited VIE...

Re: Dutch slot coordinator excludes 24 airlines from flying to/from Amsterdam Schiphol

Westjet definitely ceased ops to/from AMS. It was not possible to receive slots for the Summerseason. Only for Winter they received, but this is not an interesting time. Westjet lost millions with this case.

As known, Westjet is now flying on CDG and is also looking at Barcelona, Rome and Tokio.

Re: BRU Winter 2024-2025: News, new routes, airlines

That would be nice but we don't have the triple bridge working. That's one of the main conditions. A third daily flight, morning flight, would be a bit overkill unless a smaller aircraft would be used. But if that would be the case, EK would have done it already. Not sure that is necessary. I was t...

Re: BRU Winter 2024-2025: News, new routes, airlines

Do we know how the ME-airlines are doing at BRU? Last November I noticed BRU-DXB (and the other way around) was almost 90-100% full. Maybe one day we can have daily A380 too? That would be nice but we don't have the triple bridge working. That's one of the main conditions. A third daily flight, mor...

Re: BRU Winter 2024-2025: News, new routes, airlines

Not good at all. BRU is the only one who is suspended. They feel now stronger the second daily flight of UA? I have to correct myself, there are a few European destinations that will be suspended around the same time. But for them is mentioned when the route will be again active and with which plan...

Re: Brussels Airport (BRU) infrastructure: future

Hello, I would say that BRU is really ok at the moment with the existing infrastructure. Pier A and Connector are very good standard, Pier B is ok comparing to other european airports, what needs improvement in my eyes is the terminal building itself "vertrekhal" as its small and outdated...

Re: Brussels Airport (BRU) infrastructure: future

Re: Brussels Airport (BRU) infrastructure: future

My 2 cents, they left out infrastructurial expansions because time wasn't on their hands. If one day A pier West becomes necessary, they can request a seperate permit for it. Nothing is carved into stone, except for the Ten Commandments ;) In the meantime, limit LCC as much as possible. Respectfuly...

Re: Brussels Airport (BRU) infrastructure: future

Good thinking and suggestion ! In the past there were 9 air bridges on this satellite, this was a lot. Can you imagine how much space can be saved on the A pier? The satellite can be really heavily used. See how many planes now are parked on the remote stands bcs there is no place. The other practi...

Re: Brussels Airport (BRU) infrastructure: future

If they ever would decide to reopen the Satellite for pax, it can handle 2 million pax a year and you stay in the same infrastructure. Is that still possible? (I haven't been inside the satellite since the 90's) Is there still aviation infrastructure left in the satellite? (just curious) I cannot i...

Re: Brussels Airport (BRU) infrastructure: future

Very sad and bad news, BRU decided, when they applied for the new environmental permit, to not expand further. All current and future activities has to be done in the current infrastructure. This means no extra pier, Pier A West, and also not the prolonging of runway 25L/07R. That second one was al...
