OO-SFT stuck in Toronto / CYYZ. Engine failed to start up upon pushback. Pax remained seated four hours on-board and they never found a suitable solution. The rep told me the spare-part needed to come from BRU, strange since P&W is a US-Canada joint-venture... No more YYZ flights until Dec.17th...

Perhaps the moment to send back the A330 to SN. And end of DUS The base of the long-haul fleet of SN is ten A330 (two -200 and eight -300 when SFU will be replaced by SFH currently in cabin works straight from HK to AMM). That's the fleet needed to operate the current schedule (let's say the peak o...

The extraordinary works council meeting will take place on Thursday at 08:30. That's when management will officially inform the representatives of the workers. The rest is only guesses, or leaks. Dear sn26567, If I post the info, it means it's reliable, what more do you want ? Screenshots of union ...
Anyone heard about the social plans at SN ? It seems that was presented to the unions the past few days is really looking like a social plan, with lay-offs... The "volunteers" concept is a very special approach... to say the least from what I've read. The ultimate goal being: to get enough...
https://i.ibb.co/yR8VpMq/Capture.jpg I'm not too sure the "Safrans" passengers will appreciate their HiFly's experience. :? The new A339 would have been more suited, but it currently flies for Brunei between Bandar SB and Dubai. More about the "Tour" here: https://www.safransdum...
Things don't really change at Brussels Airlines... oups sorry...

Some updates I could grab from a relative in the wake of last week's O.R / C.E : - TC still has a huge debt towards SN, of a few millions of €. Contrary to what was previously said, SN was paid four to five weeks after the flights, like hotels with the stays (up to three months in that case) - 10% o...
The two rotations that are cancelled today, are charter flights exclusive for Thomas Cook. That way, Brussels Airlines puts all the responsability with THCB (as the B2B contract states). Indeed, those destinations aren't even on the destinations-map of SN. So I assume these are indeed scheduled cha...
SN hasn't been paid by TCB for a while now it seems... :roll: I think we are still yet to discover some remarkable things in the next few days... Those who were saying that SN would be barely financially affected :!: :?: Does SN fear to have aircrafts impounded in Tunisia even if it's clearly two di...
I'm rather astonished to see the little reactions regarding Thomas Cook / Neckermann future financial woes... and possible bankruptcy. This will for sure greatly impact SN's financials and its operations. They have adapted their A32F fleet capacity in accordance to the Thomas Cook take-over. If Thom...
Mia was for many years in the pipeline of AA with their B757. They requested many slots for it but never used it. Orlando was a much better destination as many Flemish people bought a villa there after the financial crisis in 2008. Tui was offering those flights and for the cruises. But those desti...
Ok, let me explain. As you probably knows, BAC bought the Sheraton in front of the airport some time ago. Real Estate is a big part of the airports portfolio. Two major reasons for this: the hotel has most of the time full capacity, sold out and second, when you are owner of it, you can do with it ...
OO-SFG seems to come back to BRU today ... It is already planned to fly to Accra today but that seems a bit optimistic to me ... See: https://www.flightradar24.com/data/aircraft/oo-sfg Which bird will be next to get the new interior? Cheers Danny And guess what... DELAYED. The great summer punctual...
For me the most catastrophic fact for this summer 2019, is not the dispatch reliability (which is at the average level of the other years, even slightly improving) but the horrific PUNCTUALITY figures. I'm not sure that operationally speaking, mixing both the main line operations and the charter ops...
