I read that Air Belgium is flying Belgians home from Argentina. Absolutely great, but why isn't Brussels Airlines doing this? Hi, it's a wild guess, but maybe because they BRU-based A330's don't have a cargo crew rest? OO-SFP has been transferred to BRU yesterday, maybe for this purpose? Flying car...

I wouldn't feed anything... Most far-away destinations are reachable from CDG, AMS, LHR, FRA, MUC or more of them. If CDG isn't easy to reach from the greater Antwerp region, you can still reach that destination for instance from FRA and take feeder flight from BRU. I don't think there's a big oppor...

2-5-2 and a small premium price to get a side-seat

Forgive me, I fail to understand the free newspaper discussion. Most airlines offer you to download a newspaper (when you check in, I think°. I always forget. As too paper newspaper, honestly, today there is not enough space in Y class to comfortably read a paper newspaper. And again, if somebody w...

That's Mauritius for those who don't know every IATA-code by heart

For SN it is not the case to receive good slots in late afternoon or evening for long haul at BRU, bcs they will, but I don't know for sure for NY or IAD as we don't have that info. Why doesn't SN receive good slots in late afternoon or evening? Or did I misunderstand? It can be of course that SN w...

According with flightlevel, United's flight BRU-ORD will be operate by a 787-10 from april 2020. Opening BRU-SFO by United is next step ? Brussels will be a UA "european mini-hub" for 787 ? For UA, BRU is a real hub, not a mini-hub as something like this is not existing. By next year an o...

Michael O'Leary tells Ryanair passengers will not know if a Boeing 737 Max is due to operate a flight when they make a booking. But he says this is not a problem because " consumer confidence in the type will return quickly ". Really? What if people refuse to fly Ryanair because they don'...

Lufthansa launches two new destinations in Greece: Zakynthos from Munich and Rhodes from Frankfurt https://www.aviation24.be/airlines/lufthansa-group/lufthansa/lufthansa-launches-two-new-destinations-in-greece-zakynthos-from-munich-and-rhodes-from-frankfurt/ Leisure destinations for a business/hub&...

"Other"? But not TUI I guess? Which airlines are mainly/usually used by those "other" package tour operators? Or is it really a big blend of all companies?

Please, tell us something positive about SN at the moment.

In an Austrian-topic?

SN will never be able to compete with Aeroflot with both the same service level and the same price for the simple reason labour is much cheaper in Russia than in Western-Europe, let alone Belgium. And on top of that the very strict no-state-aid-policy of the European Union. They can for connecting ...

To me it seems like two different things: "Vietnam bans the import of leased aircraft of more than 10 years old from entering the country, effective 01 January 2020. Aircraft currently on lease cannot be more than 20 years old by lease expiry. Cargo aircraft shall not exceed 15 years old at tim...

I wonder why BRU airport thinks there's any need for yet another operator to say Malaga or Alicante? Next to Ryanair, Vueling, Jetair and Brussels Airlines? Really??? :roll: As 737MAX rightfully says, they're not going to grow the market, just pissing off airlines which have been building their ope...

Looks like it, indeed! The A220 seems to be really good compared to the E2. Although one airline in Belgium thinks the E2 is a better product, but I fail to see why honestly... any specialist in the E2/A220 battle around here? :) Sorry lumumba, my question was more about performance, specifications...

And don't forget Transavia is related to KLM, part of the skyteam group. I read on this forum quite some times there should be an alternative to Staralliance where LH is blamed for the absence of new destinations...

As mentioned on facebook: according to https://www.acl-uk.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/LCY-S20-Initial-Coordination-report.pdf Air Antwerp has been granted 44 weekly slots at London City Airport LCY: 12 more compared to the 32 current flights (5 days x 6 + 1 round-trip on Sunday). This means they ...
