Re: SAS looking at Air France-KLM?

Good luck helping SAS, that's a black pit that is doomed to fail in the next years...
the labour expenses are way too high, the population of scandinavia isn't that big enough to sustain it...
and the biggest part: they have to respect 3 different law systems (Norway, Sweden & Denmark).

Re: Ryanair comes back to Ostend !

Oh common, the market is clearly Belgains flying to the Spanish beach and not vice versa! So thank-you city of Bruges sponsoring my holiday to Spain!!! Hasta la vista! Stij I am afraid that Stijn tells the truth. Now with 20% unemployment in Spain, I don't expect a lot of Spanish tourists in Bruges...

Re: Ryanair comes back to Ostend !

But this support u are paying, pays back itself when jobs are created through this process.

Re: new A319 for SN

Why the A319 would be better than the B737, for SN? I know that the cabin of the Airbus is wider, but for the rest? I flew a lot as a passenger on these two, and for a comfort standpoint, there is no real differences between them ... More, the 737NG is a real "pure-sang" both in performan...
