Good bye SFN! These 3 oldest 333 allowed SN to start again flights (Birdy) to Africa... II flew many times with these birds to and frm N'Djili...

Since a lot of weeks, this topic should be renamed ... Goodbye Brussels Airlines. In my point of view, it's just speculation and an obsession! Brussels Airlines will stay even if the name change in the future! SN is a part of Eurowings. It's a reality! Belgian citizens are mostly low cost passengers...

Brussels Airlines carried 778,175 passengers last month, 13.4% more than in March 2017:
North America: +28.1%
Africa: + 18.1%
Europe: + 10.6%
East: + 5.6%

In the same time, the EW flight operated with SFM is not cancelled... Priority to Eurowings. Passengers of SN can wait...

OO-SFN is scheduled for landing tomorrow morning at around 7:40 as SN1351 via Douala.

Brussels Airport is also in danger because LH decided to make EW hub in Dusseldorf ... No more real home carrier in Brussels means the end of the airport and Brussels as an air Platform!
No information concerning Vicomte Davignon reaction?

The exact title is: The 2 Belgian Directors (CEO and CFO) have received a letter of dismissal! That means Bernard Gustin is no longer CEO and... part of SN! It's shocking!
Again our poor country seems to be ridiculous...
Low Country... Low cost Airlines....
I am really disappointed...

Tonight, SN flight from/to Hannover is performed with Cityjet AVRO RJ85 in place of BMI ERJ145!

I fully agree with the realistic point of view of DeltaWiskey but I fear for the future in Africa also because Air France-KLM is continuing to increase frequencies and direct flights to West Africa but also to the rest of Africa with a large number of connexion in CDG! SN must be careful about that!...

Maybe! Probably I was dreaming about some planes coming from Air Berlin to expand SN fleet...

Probably a mistake because Bel 7446 desappears from my filter on FR24 when i try to make a print screen!

A332 Air Berlin is ferried from Dusseldorf to Brussels as Bel 7446. Back up plane for SN? All SN birds seems operational. Some information about this flight?

When back to Brussels, the flight SN371 was already rescheduled with departure at 2:40 pm.
Probably medical emergency or some other problem with a passenger or just a check?

Don't forget that the flights operated for Tour Operators and Charter flights are not included in the monthly statistics. So HQ can help but a big part of the flights are not regular flights!

SN 1502 is now cancelled.

Why not an agreement between Rwandair and SN with 3/3 flights codeshared /week allowing to SN to open a new route like Lagos, Libreville or... back to Nairobi/Mombasa (TC destination...)

You can't compare a month with the month before but the same period (month) year after year and the year to date (january-may)! The variations can also be explained by some other variables like holidays periods... The increase continue to be strong and the load factor growth is very interesting due ...

Technical problem or medical emergency?

Call back a new crew
Transfer cargo
Put out all luggages from SFM- control -
Prepare the plane (catering...), obtain all authorizations and plan the flight...
For long haul, it take easely 3-4 hours!

I fully agree with the comment of Inquirer!
It's the right way to renew the fleet in a short time and to take time to organize the future of the long haul fleet.
