Re: Air Belgium: a rebirth?

I too think that they should start selling right away and leave at least 2-3 months between the opening of bookings and start of operations. If it's not an option, they should start with lower weekly frequencies and ramp it up progressively. However, they need to be running full steam by June, other...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2018

The next stages for this project can be guessed IMO. They will ride the summer as it's already scheduled. It's meaningless to make big changes now. In the meanwhile, Germany will send diplomats to all over Africa to get bilaterals written, where needed. Also, they will start to indoctrinate SN staff...

Re: Air Belgium: a rebirth?

I think that Air Belgium needs to consider operating to/from Tokyo and more specifically HND, pushing for slots at that airport. Out of CRL, this should be doable with a decent load given prevailing Westerly winds. FR can provide feeding on the CRL end, and I think that they can find a partner in JA...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2018

The writing was on the wall a long time ago. Gustin being thanked for his services and SN gradually becoming EW is just part of the process. As I've said before, it's only a matter of time before Africa flights will be moved to FRA or perhaps DUS, who knows. Then the restructuring and the tears will...
