Another solution could be to open the satellite for charter and low cost flights for example would be less big investment. They'll first have to move several offices from the building and the connection between the terminal and the satelite has been cut for the current protocolservice. In the airpo...

I have an hypothesis (it's correct term ?) about the A330-300 SFB. Since her transfert to Brussels, SFB is planned almost always on the Toronto's route. Why not is a test in real size to know Eurowings colours in the Canada. OO-SFB has a former Cathay Pacific interior which consists of a small Busi...

I don't want to sound like a prophet of doom, but imho, no decision has yet been made on what will happen to the flights (aircraft and brand) to Africa, because if CS does not manage to get EW (including SN's European operations) out of the red, he will also integrate Brussels Airlines (brand) and ...

Good summary of the real situation but will anyone dare to tell CS? :lol: It was more as a reaction on the dramatic comments here of people that refuse to understand that also in a P2P focussed network strategy it's perfectly possible to offer connectivity, to codeshare with other airlines, etc. Th...

Does anyone realise the hypocrisy of their statements on the point-2-point vs. hub/network model? So an airline pursuing a P2P network strategy by definition ONLY carries pax from A to B, never A to B via C? So then a hub network strategy must mean that ALL pax fly A to B via C, right? Bullshit? Not...

SFD is (was?) supposed to enter ops this week with the new interior. That would make a total of 10, even without SFU and SFY. SFD will replace SFE or SFG, both already started operating with ex-SIA interior to ensure an 'on-time' phase-out of SFM/N/O, but were originally never intended to operate f...

Well, it's true that the number of SN pax for the month can't possibly be 295000 (it was above 624000 last month)! It would be easy for LH/SN to prevent that confusion! :roll: Yes, it would be easy, but Lufthansa categorically refuses to do so. And since LH owns 100% of SN, the latter can only comp...

Is it still a result of the fuel contamination of last December at Kinshasa Airport ? Not that I know. Engines also need heavy maintenance once in a while, or quicker if detailed inspections reveal things that make it risky or too unsafe to continue operations with that engine. There are for the mo...

The number of pax, in %, during March was again the highest one for Brussels Airlines for the whole LH Group. SN saw in increase of more then 15%!!!!!! while Eurowings had a drop of more then 2% For the whole LH group was only an increase of 1%. Good job SN, even they want to kill this brand and co...

Refurbishing and check Rather a global shortage of the required PW engines, resulting in a prelonged AOG of SFU... They probably use the ground time to do some other stuff (but it's not getting the new interior for example), but that's not the primary reason it's been on the ground for so long now.

Interestingly, KLM maintains all its flights: what an opportunity! Most SN destinations can be reached from AMS. Whereas LH, LX and OS cancelled all their flights together with SN when FRA, MUC VIE, ZRH could be nice alternatives. Lack of vision of the LH Group! Already last week the full LH Group ...

You realise it's winter and that on Wednesday the amount of holiday flights by SN is even not 2 percent of the total of flights? Even more the reason not to inconveniece those people There are just 2(!) flights that pose a problem for Thomas Cook, the one to TFS and the one to HRG. Both have been c...

Meanwhile TUI manages to operate a full schedule from alternate airports. Im sorry but cancelling everything is the easy option I applaud the actions of TUIfly to relocate their 36 flights to the Netherlands and France and arrange bus transport for all pax, indeed a great job of them. But are you s...

Delta Air Lines has emerged as the probable buyer for 10 A330neos worth US$3 billion, based on the latest order & deliveries update from Airbus. it must 20 A330neos worth US$3 billion. An Airbus A380 jumbo costs $350 million. Not really, Airbus' official avarege list prices in 2018: 445.6mio US...

Pro tip for SN staff: if you want to become a successful ‘national’ airline despite LH’s efforts to turn you into a low cost franchise you don’t go on strike for vague reasons! :| SN staff will not strike (except maybe a few lost exceptions), the cancelations are because basically 'everyone else' i...

Says Jeroen Lyssens, VP network Brussels Airlines... Jeroen? And yes he says so, what do you mean with that? That he's lying? Making the truth look nicer than it is? Ashaming his reputation in a publication of the world's most well-known independent organisation in terms of airline/airport route de...

It's an internal Star Alliance statistic that's well known by those familiar in the global Star network, also repeated here in an article about SN in the latest edition of the 'Routes News' magazine: https://content.yudu.com/web/2zc2/0Auv9i/rn1-2019/html/ It was also mentioned during one of the Star...

No! In my point of view, the problem is coming from Brussels airlines... sorry... Eurowings. Mr Spohr and LH are the real problem in Belgium! That airline that expanded its market share at BRU from about 30% in 2013 to almost 40% in 2018? That company/group that facilitates the fact that BRU is the...

Sorry for the «broken record» : for those who were still in two minds, my «broken record» says : if you are not bound by a corporate travel policy, don't fly any of the LH Group airlines anymore, be it for business or leisure, and don't fly via Spohr's declared hubs (FRA, MUC, ZRH, VIE and FCO ???)...

Thanks. But it's a bit a pity because the C and Y class are completely worn out. But it's understandable.... SFT started flying for SN just 1 year ago (end of Jan 2017), it definitely doesn't have a worn out C and Y class. There is a big difference between 'not in new state anymore' and 'completely...
