Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal

According to a newer interview with Aerotelegraph the remaining A330 from LH should migrate to Discover. So, let's see if SN's growth ambition may be fueled by external A333 If they maybe cannot come from LH itself, maybe from their other "partner" Singapore Airlines. SN had in the past a...

The works will be of course in phases

Re: Brussels Airport (BRU) infrastructure: future

Also Brussels Airlines will fight against the new environment permit for the airport. They will go to the council for permit disputes. According to SN the Flemish government made the wrong decision regarding restrictions about noise and the block for growing as from 2032. According to SN the new per...

Ryanair news in 2024

As I don't see a specific topic, I created this one about Ryanair. As certain people complain that SN abandoned Bordeaux, well today Ryanair announced that they will close their Bordeaux base as from 2024. 90 people will lose their job and 40 destinations are affected. Reason: the airport became to ...

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal

SN's shareholders were so naive in the end in their selling strategy that a smart LH managed to buy it for peanuts. It allowed them to sideline competition at BRU at a minimal cost which in turn would be offset by flying Belgian passengers to LH's main hubs. For that purpose it has kept SN on a lif...

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal

On a slightly positive note, in the interview obe referred us to, Boxberg's answers had much more substance than previously. She has learned, but is still under the orders of the Big Boss. Ohh yes, he decide. First profit. But you can't make profit or bigger profit if you don't invest. And I mean r...

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal

Initially it was a good idea. But good ideas can turn into a nightmare when a new boss takes over. The new boss took over. Kept SN and BRU very small but forgot to cover the East part of Germany. Over the border in Poland you have a very strong player LOT, also Star Alliance, and is expanding each ...

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal

Well, the good news is that OO-SFC is back from MAN where she spent more than 3 months. I saw her arriving on Saturday evening, still wearing the classic BeeLine livery. SN long haul fleet indeed shows a nice aero-diversity : = Four (4) birds with the classic BeeLine. OO-SFC, -D, -E, -G. = One (1) ...

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal

It s not beacause an aircraft is not flying that it's free to go somewhere else to be painted. OO-SFP is simply having some work done to be ready to integrate the SN fleet.

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal

Why do you think that you are the only one? I think many. You can reroute pax via your partners in the group but when it's happening on a weekly basis, it's not OK. Business pax don't want to fly via, they want to fly direct. The same for other pax. On this way they will not grow in pax and in profi...

According to the latest info, the initial start of the construction of the tram to the airport in 2024 is postponed to the end of 2025, beginning of 2026. This means that the completion will be 2029 or 2030.

Re: Brucargo 2024: cargo routes & news

Very quickly after the first cargo flights, 2 flights per week, of FarCargo, they added already 2 extra weekly flights.

Inbound cargo is full of fresh fish, the outbound cargo remains an issue.

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

Quite a big news, after so many years. From 2nd September, LOT will fly 4x a day, taking advantage of the 20th anniversary of Poland's accession to the European Union. Nice to see. It also can be that they jump in the gap which SN left. SN started not long time ago WAW and reduced it already to onl...
