Which one will be next, I mean for getting the new cabin?

Or does another one first need maintenance?

SFF?
The reason why it was for 3 months in AMM was for the cabin outfit and ( I hope ) a repaint

Re: BRU Summer 2020: news, new routes, airlines

I would have chosen 2x4x3 or 3x4x2. No doubt because of balance. The seating you propose would certainly be felt on the flight deck... I remember a lot of MD11's were in a 3-4-2 configuration... It had something to do with an uneven distribution when evacuating a plane. Cant remember what exactly, ...

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal

. I don't understand the behavior of LH in this. LH could have much more benefits from it if they would invest more in SN. Instead of replacing 7 old A330 by other old A330 they could have ordered for SN also the new A330NEO. It would give them even a bigger discount by Airbus. Not sure if the NEO ...

The question I am asking myself is why were sn brussels airlines and brussels airlines for so many years reliable airlines and why is SN long haul the new Air Afrique aka Air Peut-Etre (Air Perhaps). Correct me if I am wrong, but long haul worked well under BG with older aircraft. Why is it becomin...

Re: South African Airways: ongoing rumours about financial woes

Indeed. Not really rumours anymore. I have been following the situation for a while now ( I have SA roots ) and things are not looking good at all. If Ramaphosa decides to stop the bailouts ( which is currently set at about 1.90 bilion rand ~rougly 130 million dollars ) it's over. And from a pure fi...

Return of a ‘previously lost’ airline / destination also in the picture. Cannot disclose more for the time being, but from a high level and very reliable source.

Re: Brussels Airport (BRU): Star Alliance and Oneworld under one roof?

Well, I think the 767-400 is an upgrade over the a330-200, pax wise that is. Delta's configuration allows more passengers in the 767-400 than in the a330-200, plus it's a 2-3-2 layout in economy, which is very nice :D ( not complaining about that change here :D ) Only downside I see is that the cabi...
