Re: 15 top intercontinental destinations out of BRU

@ Travellover
You're right of course, but obviously I wasn't clear enough. Brussels Airport statistics indicate 730 flights for EACH Delhi AND Mumbai.

Re: 15 top intercontinental destinations out of BRU

I don't know how Brussels Airport statistics are computed but on page 8, they indicate, for 2011, 730 flights to both Mumbay and Delhi. If I'm not mistaken, there was (and still is) only 1 flight per day to both "destinations", i.e. 365 per year. Is it possible that these statistics cover ...

Re: Brussels Airlines' second US destination

Maybe time to revive this topic. It was shown some interest about 2 months ago! ( Even though "US" should be replaced by "North American" in the view of some contributors)

Re: Brussels Airlines website

Warning! This is not a positive comment!
It is refreshing to see some of us on this forum trying to do SN's job whilst SN itself obviously couldn't care less about its website. ;)

Come on now sean1982. Having a lack of valid arguments, you now criticize the style of your contradictor!

SN 215 ( OO-SFN) returned to BRU about 20 minutes after take-off yesterday (5/12) afternoon (source: flightradar24).
Anyone knows what was the problem?

Mr_Boeing,

Don't try logics with airazurxtror, please! He has one God and it is MOL and anything He and Ryanair do is holy, hence not to subject to criticism nor even questionnable.

Re: Swiss to decide on A340 replacement in 6-12 months

I would think the recently announced group purchasing policy of LH will be at work here. The 777s of Austrian could be of relatively small influence, but we see LH has ordered a few 748s. Still the chances of a 777 look dim to me in this case. Maybe the bigger version of the 787 then. On the other h...

Nice arguments teddybAir :) . However, although you don't see many of them, some airlines have bought a few, so there ought to be a few pros to it.

Next A32Ss for SN: 319 or 320? What should/will it be?

Same idea as for the A330s.
I am not aware of the economics. But if the operating cost is similar, why not take the bigger one? And why not the 321, btw?
I don't remember if any additional a/c is foreseen for 2013.

Re: Next A330 for SN: 200 or 300? What should/will it be?

I agree with Flanker on this one. Aren't the 2 200s enough to serve one longer range destination, even on a daily basis? The current 2 almost exclusively serve East-African destinations on a triangle operation! Of course, 1 would not be enough for a longer range flight, as you need a back-up. Is the...
