Re: VLM Airlines taken over by management, buys SSJ100 aircraft

The "Telegraaf" article quotes the operational manager from VLM saying that the outlook looks "rosy" when the unions agree with the cut. Moreover, they don't have their Dutch subsidiary anymore (which will mean less cash needed). Probably too much fuss about nothing. That's a hu...

Typical you choose the youngest type of SN on average as example for comparison. As avroflyer you should know the avro's are very old as well ;)

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal

Of this list only DL has older aircraft than SN. With current known fleet plans, SN fleet will be older than DL also in 2017.

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal

SN HAS an OLD fleet, and that is a problem, a BIG problem. It's indeed a very old fleet, more than 14 years old average. I compared with other European airliners and only found Austrian to have an older fleet. If Austrian replaced their Fokkers SN might have the oldest fleet of Europe :( It's like ...

Re: Jet Airways out of Brussels?

Why this aggressive tone? I am only trying to help out here. Without jumping the conclusions, spreading rumours or claiming anything. I prudently stick to the facts, so should you. Rumours are no facts. I didn't mean to be aggressive (and don't' think I was). If you stick to the facts this I don't ...

Re: Jet Airways out of Brussels?

Of course those AMS slots won't be used "until further notice". Like if an airliner would ever change a flight schedule without notice :roll: If changes are 'expected' is something totally different though. Why do you repeatedly say it won't happen if Jet themselves say they are considerin...

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal

As SN is basically part of LH-group, I'm wondering why it's the only part of the group only ordering old planes. If there's a better business-case for old planes, wouldn't that apply to OS/LX as well? Meanwhile OS/LX are ordering many brand new planes. Seems LH isn't eager to invest in SN and that's...

Re: Jet Airways out of Brussels?

A news article from Indian press with some additional views: http://www.livemint.com/Companies/JXM5VCMQNvC8K8KYk1qfaL/Jet-Airways-reviews-operations-in-its-Brussels-hub.html It partly blames (lack of) support from SN to channelize passengers: He said Jet Airways originally entered Brussels because i...

Re: BRU pax operations: the future

That's a bit too optimistic; a large BRU freight and pax operator just announced leaving (ET/9W).

Re: Jet Airways out of Brussels?

Re: Jet Airways out of Brussels?

Sure. Of course. There is no firm proof that Jet Airways will stay. But first, this isn’t a court room where statements are only accepted when accompagnied by a firm proof on paper, to be judged as true by a judge. There's a huge gap between firm proof and statements without any source, corrobarati...

Re: Jet Airways out of Brussels?

If you had bothered to read a bit through Atlantis' posting history here, As new member it's impossible to view user posts, so your suggestion was impossible (I tried). The fact that on top of that, on the very same day another new member posted the exact same thing here (official confirmation from...

Re: Jet Airways out of Brussels?

That depends on what 9W actually communicated to its staff. Remember, news articles tend to overreact and statements from a union don't have to reflect the context nor exact contents of the information 9W supplied to its staff. Moreover, according to news articles it's not about moving to AMS, but ...

Re: Jet Airways out of Brussels?

If Atlantis says Jet confirmed just two days ago that they'd be stayin in BRU, that means that Jet DID confirm this two days ago. Apparently they've changed their minds since. Atlantis didn't say what his source was. And as I'm new on this forum I don't know who is who. But I do know that if 2 days...

Re: Jet Airways out of Brussels?

Atlantis is right. There are enough reasons to believe that Jet Airways will not leave Brussels. Maybe they will open one route out of AMS, but not four. Anyway, Jetter, the above post is your first post here. Would be great if we can continue to discuss this Jet Airways story with facts, statement...

Re: Jet Airways out of Brussels?

And DL flying to BRU with a large aircraft ?
Why would they do that out of BRU when they serve 9 USA destinations out of AMS, if JET wants to work with Delta that makes a move to AMS obvious.

A while ago I wrote already that Jet Airways will not leave the BRU tarmac that soon and today it is confirmed. There are many reasons why the top of Jet Airways decided to stay at Brussels Airport. Jet Airways even confirmed that they will offer their seats till after Winter season 2016-2017!!!! J...
