Re: Terrorist attack, explosions in the departure hall of Brussels Airport!
Maybe a more informative question, but how long did it take Rome Fiumicino to pick up a sort of normal operation after it's fire? It's comparing apples with pineapples I know, but still, the basic problem is sort of the same: part of the building inoperative. Two months according to an ATW Online a...

Re: Trivia 2016 (miscellaneous news)
KLM wants more Belgian passengers Or so they say... Why then did they give up their (quite successful!) ANR-AMS feeder service? Because it got replaced by Thalys-service. Air France shared their best practise at Brussels Midi with KLM. Somewhere in November, I noticed a big destination pole from KL...

Re: Trivia 2016 (miscellaneous news)
This is not a KLM-action. It was initiated by Amsterdam Schiphol airport. They approach Belgium (Flanders) the same way as Brussels Airport does with The Netherlands: raise awareness within their catchment area.Passenger wrote:KLM wants more Belgian passengers:

Re: Jetairfly in 2016
And since those changes have an influence on the fleet utilisation, the flights from Antwerp to Berlin Tegel will be cancelled from July 2016 If equipment (737) becomes available from the Tunisia and Egypt destinations,why would they need an E190 from the ANR-TXL route? Or will they increase Spain ...

Regarding the Brussels-Billund route: yes, Sun-Air is still flying that route as well (operating as a BA franchisee) and charging considerably higher fares. There's some more info about the third rotation here (in Danish): http://www.check-in.dk/brussels-paa-vej-med-tredje-afgang-fra-billund . In s...

From February 29th and at least until the end of the winter season, Brussels Airlines will launch a third rotation to Billund. While the current 12 return flights per week are operated by FlyBe, the new afternoon flights on Monday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday will be flown by an Avro 100 from SN. F...

Airlineroute reports Vietnam Airlines will operate a one-off 787 Brussels rotation on 01-02 December 2015. No more details. Anyone who can confirm this?

Re: BRU pax operations: the future
As such Brussels Airport must 'think' Brussels Airlines in all they do (and vv.) In the past, it was the case with Sabena. It's called "putting all one's eggs in the same basket". When Sabena collapsed, it took years for the airport to overcome it. I guess they won't do the same mistake w...

Re: BRU Summer 2016: news, new routes, airlines
SAS resumes 3rd frequency on Oslo-Brussels route. Flights operated by CR9, which is uncommon outside Copenhagen. Either this is one of the new Cityjet-planes or they have redefined the use of their Cimber aircraft. SK4741 Oslo-Brussels 1255-1450 12345-- CR9 SK4742 Brussels-Oslo 1520-1705 12345-- CR9...

Brussels Airlines too noisy at Stockholm Bromma Airport
Swedish media reports there is too much noise at Stockholm Bromma Airport. It's questioned whether the noise level is according to the environmental allowances. (I guess this is comparable to BRU take-off and landing routes) More precisely, it's the Avro RJ100 operated by Brussels Airlines that is g...
