Re: Brussels Airlines in 2017
I'd say thank God for TUIfly Belgium who seems to be the only Belgian airline that is here to stay and doing well not to mention serving every airport in the country! I agree that TUI Fly Belgium is doing great, but you cannot call them a Belgian airline either... They are part of the TUI group, wh...

Re: Cancelled services and discontinued routes in 2017
Well, that decision might have been taken in close cooperation as Etihad holds a 24% stake in Jet Airways.

Re: Airbus A350 news
This leaves Asiana as the only airline that still has A350-800s on order (8 aircraft, with also 12 A350-900s and 10 A350-1000 on order).
I wonder when they will convert/cancel their order.

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
In 2018 the current A330s will start getting replaced, I don't know if makes a lot of sense to add another A330 when new ones will arrive shortly after, maybe it is better just to wait one year? Before we speculate, maybe we should just wait for the announcement about the take over? I hope that wil...

Re: Air Belgium: a rebirth?
There are a little bit more active A340-300s: around 120 according to the source you mention. Lufthansa alone has still 18 active A340-300s.Yuqu12 wrote: By the way: according planespotters.net, there are only 15 active A340-300. Is it (theoretically) possible they pick a stored A340-300 to re-use it?

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
While the A321LR could indeed be a very interesting option from a passenger point of view, is there not an issue with cargo? I might be wrong, but I thought that cargo was a significant revenue source on African routes. I guess that is also something that will have to be taken into consideration whe...
