Re: Brussels Airlines in 2021

If the above tail is real, it's gonna be an almost complete white livery.... Not sure how this will look :?

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2021

About this "New Chapter" announcement: any chance there will be more news besides the new brand identity?

For example an announcement about a few new 787 or A350 for SN? ;)

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2021

Totally incredible. And utterly shameful. While many former employees are having to find their way in a new walk of life, and Belgian taxpayers are waiting for the refund of their (already unacceptable) 250M+ funding, this mediocre company finds no better way to spend our (not its) money than to de...

Re: Brussels Airport (BRU) infrastructure: future

Yesterday I arrived at BRU from a short trip. The scenes I saw at the airport were... sorry to say... disgraceful. And I'm talking about the baggage reclaim area . Arriving in the baggage reclaim area from the modern Connector is like taking a time machine and go 30 years back in time. But the fact ...

BRU back to 'normal operations' I see: https://twitter.com/BrusselsAirport/status/1413792226639941638 Due to a technical problem, baggage handling is disrupted.

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2021

It seems you all forgot in what position SN was after March 2020. It was even uncertain if the company would survive! Would LH let them go? Would the government nationalize? Would the government bail out? ... The future of SN was highly uncertain at that time. This certainly added to the fact that r...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2021

My experience: I had a flight in March 2020 that got cancelled. Asked for a refund (via the website). Got an e-mail explaining me it could take a while, got another one saying they were processing it and a final one stating the money was underway. Eventually got my money back on my bank account in s...

Re: Brussels Airport (BRU) infrastructure: future

I recently saw the renovated facade of the (old) terminal and I can say: WELL DONE! Beautifully executed, both terminals now seem one unified building. Finally :) They could have chosen a new, higher roof structure (now they expanded the current/old one), but that's OK. Now I hope they slowly start ...

Re: Brussels Airport (BRU) infrastructure: future

Quite unfair. If you want to compare entrances, take BRU's terminal buildings as example and not this temporary infrastructure which makes the tents actually a good thing. If it was more than temporary a more definitive construction would have been build. It's not unfair. This IS the entrance area ...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2021

Hey marketing department of Brussels Airlines, take note:

As the 'African specialist', SN should have done this. Already 1,4 million views. Priceless. This is how you take care of your brand.

At CRL, things are moving. New entrance infrastructure: https://h2a.be/uploads/pictures/screenshot/187/file/Image_7.jpg https://h2a.be/uploads/pictures/screenshot/189/file/Image_8.jpg Nothing spectacular but... compare this to the 'grand entrance' of BRU. :o Messy and ugly.

A connection between BRU and the US West Coast (LAX?) would be nice.

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2020

But can the A321XLR take enough cargo ?
Conti764 wrote: 22 Jul 2020, 11:24 They don't need the range of the A350.
As more long haul destinations are part of the 'plan', maybe they can use them in the future?

Finally a deal, and it seems a good one.

Godspeed, Brussels Airlines! I hope they become a healthy company again (financially) and have a great future once this horrible virus is gone!

Re: Brussels Airport (BRU) infrastructure: future

As expected.....

Such a pity they don't use this opportunity to create a great new, unified design for the entire front facade. Now it's again typically Belgian: different styles of 'koterijen' (sorry for the word ;) ) next to each other. We'll never learn I'm afraid.
