What will Brussels Airlines do with the guaranteed lowest price for their B Light?
If Easy lowers the price then BA will have to do that also. I think the big problem is that Brussels Airlines will not be able to do this for a very long time since their company structure is not optimised for Low-Cost.

The train will pass under Brucargo without stopping. This is just crazy. It's like the trainstation for pax under the airport. Why is there no direct train from Antwerp to the airport? Or a Thalys or TGV station like in CDG or AMS? If you want to be a "big" player, you need good connectio...

You simply can't compare a small African airport (Banjul is very small) with a European one. They are less organised and not as good equiped. Sometimes they only have one fuel truck (and this one was not working 100%) or only one external power unit, etc... On some airports they even steal the appro...

They think that the guy climbed into the landing gear compartment when the A330 was stuck at the end of the runway in Banjul and had to be pulled back by a fire truck with ropes. Due to a mistake, the airplane was to far at the end of the runway to make a 180° turn and had to be pulled back. It took...

The maintenance of Sabena Technics is from a very good quality. The problem is that SNBA doesn't want to spend a lot of money on this. And this is what they get now.

Forget the 767as a replacement for the A330. They already did some studies about this item and the 767 doesn't has as much as cargospace available than the A330-300.
