Re: Lufthansa Is Trying To Sue Passengers For Skiplagging
It's common parctice I believe (otherwise what is skiplagging about ?). But is skiplagging legal, that's the question. If it's legal, there is obviously less point for airlines to offer discounted rates to tag-ons pax since p2p pax can enter that scheme also with a slight twist. The German judge imp...

Lufthansa is trying to sue passengers for skiplagging
Now this retains my attention ... On one hand, a Spanish court recently ruled that Iberia passengers could not be punished for skiplagging. On the other hand, the Berlin-Mitte court just pronounced a more ambiguous sentence .. giving LH sufficient grounds it seems to appeal the decision. My view is ...

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
Thank you André .. sorry for the link problem, just found out about it now.
Spohr repeats what is unfortunately already known. Each airline of the group must finance its equipment separately. No policy, no investment for sn except the routine thing.

It shouldn't be such big deal to extend the subway to BRU .. Nothing in the cards yet ? So much awaited and nobody is pushing this bright idea to the table ?

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2018
Flying more passengers than ever, most of the staff and crew working their butt off. Restructuring, cutting costs, race to the bottom, etc.. hardly any profit. And now a nice negative article by the big boss. This must be very frustrating for staff and crew. Lufthansa's image is damaged. At SN, in ...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2018
With smaller planes getting longer and longer ranges, the HUB strategy will no longer be the main business model, but direct flights from point to point, will. Not sure. While I expect some more "stand-alone" routes to emerge (the A321LR might contribute to that), I also think the present...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2018
You can shoot the messenger, but message is clear though, Eurowings or no wings at all! The bad news is that DUS is strategically targetted as EW's base. And BRU as a focus city ? while SN temporarily playing a small role to Africa. On the longer run, in case SN gets closed, the African network mig...

Expect no "Geschenk" : Spohr to SN
We knew SN is not the blue eyed child of the group .. Results expectancy with no "help" (meaning adequate support and investment) is not IMHO the best way to run a business successfully. Or he just says "Stop the striking thing or game over" ? https://www.hln.be/geld/economie/luf...

Re: Alitalia near bankruptcy. Can it be saved?
I am not sure the investigation of the three top managers will help in any way find a solution. The only collateral damage I can see is bringing additional hesitation from any potential/future actor/investor. .. Trying to analyse the pit AZ find themselves in from a broader view, it's of course comp...

About AirAsia X not purchasing the 10 A350's they had in option, it should not come as a big surprise since they don't really need the aircraft capability .. however be sure Boeing is putting heavy pressure on price to sell them their latest technology in place of the 66 A339 they still have in opti...
