Re: Brussels Airlines in 2024

Does not explain why not take a bigger part of the market if it exist... Barcelona is a good example why not fly more if there is the potential to do so! Short answer, finite resources. Planes = more frequencies to BCN means less frequencies elsewhere, what city would you downgrade, and why? Staff ...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2024

Turboprops make very less noise than jets!!!! And no they need to use turboprops for those routes in my opinion because they are much less expensive and also carry less passengers these are good options for those tiny routes. That's also incorrect. Unless you compare a Q400 with a 747-200, you are ...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2024

Niche market yes, but they are also disappearing. Lots of airlines got rid of their turboprops in the past few years. And others are busy in the process... The ATR is not even worth talking about, and the Q400 is terribly unreliable (-> very often AOG). Sure a low fuel burn, but huge maintenance co...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2024

Not really. That's what lots of people who don't know what they are talking about think, but it's mostly incorrect. There is a reason why turboprops are disappearing, in Europe at least. There are not disappearing but it's a niche market! And so you are saying that there are not cheaper to use on s...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2024

I have to agree here that a few turboprops, much cheaper to operate than big jets, would be a nice addition to the SN fleet for the destinations that have been mentioned above: Bordeaux, Nantes, Billund, but also Cork, Hanover, Nuremberg, Basel and even Luxemburg. In the past, these destinations we...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2024

I quite often suprised to see so many critics about Brussels Airlines. I don't think that there are so many critics in Finland about Finnair, in Ireland about Aer Lingus or in Portugal about TAP Air Portugal. In 2000s, Finnair, Aer Lingus and TAP Air Portugal struggled and closed many routes. They ...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2024

Which competitors? Low-cost airlines? Pinky-swear you won't complain about the inevitable decline in service if Brussels goes full low-cost?
