Well, I can't remember whether a CEO is group 2 or 3 at CDG. If 3, then a NEO gets a deeper discount in MAD, and that's one of the most expensive airports (save for LHR, a class of its own). Even if the CEO is group 2, the NEO does get a bigger noise discount in CDG but it is offset in less than an ...

Why has OO-SBA been deployed on short routes till now (CDG, LHR, MUC, FRA,..., mostly routes less than 1 hour..; except BCN)? Is this for crew familiarisation? As the engines on the 320neo are more economic than those on the 320ceo, I would have expected to see the neo on longer routes of 2 hours a...

What was the AOG? Engine swap?

For some reasons, no BRU on their list at all while here is no competition on certain routes. In LIS e.g. they have a lot of competition Sometimes there is no competition because there is not enough demand to have competition. JetBlue has less than 10 A321LRs and they're all based in BOS or JFK. Mo...

Ryanair are certainly very vocal about new destinations, but silent in all languages when a destination is dropped (but maybe that's true for all airlines). I've seen other airlines bury the announcements in one-sentence statements at the end of press releases about happier events such as new desti...

Of course they shoud have the right to wear a hijab. But passengers have the right to regret that, after so many years when it was forbidden, they feel the desire, the need, or maybe the social obligation to wear it. What passenger would "regret" that flight attendants have the right to a...

You can compare. As long as you compare airports with around the same number of annual pax. What you can't compare are the inhabitants. Poland is indeed much bigger but much poorer in the huge country side they have. Population size is relevant. As economic standards improve throughout the country ...

O/D to overseas territories on which AF/KL now have a (near)monopoly? Can't speak for The Netherlands. O/D travel to French overseas territories includes a large portion of government-funded travel that will not go to Brussels Airlines, however. Brussels Airlines would fight for the VFR/leisure mar...

What a lack of ambition from SN and/or LH. BRU and SN could easily take away market-share and PAX from AMS and CDG. And how would they accomplish that easily? Leisure travelers are first and foremost price sensitive. Business travelers focus on frequencies, preferably daily if not more often than t...

Third, what happened in AMS is a clear sign for all those action groups around BRU who want the same for BRU as what was happening at AMS. Now they are faced that you cannot stop an industry like this. This is a blessing for BRU too bcs the new environment permit has to be requested as from next ye...

Even on same type and series, you can’t compare an airline to another, because each operator gets to choose what equipment it will install in-house vs having it installed at the factory. A previous poster mentioned Brussels is installing a cabin communication system, a little more complex than loadi...

And future OO-SBA (now F-WWIJ) made a test flight yesterday at 16:45 (landed back at 17:21) Is it the SN pilots that are doing the tests or rather pilots from Airbus? Typically the customer does a test/acceptance flight before delivery, more if issues are found. Some airlines skip that flight or us...

SN should keep focus in Africa and North America with its own metal or with its partners As long as these are two distinct strategic plans (one for Africa, one for North America), I agree. A strategy to connect both continents is not viable in the long term. COVID has slowed down the market shift, ...

So when the Covid-sh!t hits the fan Lufti turns to the government saying: “you need to save your airline” whilst when the government needs “their” airline for, paid, repatriation flights Lufti says: FO. Airlines don't operate repatriation flights out of the goodness of their heart. They charge the ...

Second this sentiment.

If we're having a daily report of what doesn't fly, can we have that in a separate thread for those who care?

Though I suspect none of those posts are intended to be informative...

Reopening the lounge at terminal B? The Diamond lounges are definitely overcrowded.

Let's try to be fair and see the realities. I'm not the one who erroneously compared an A320 operated by a European airline to a CRJ700 operated by a US regional carrier. Your analysis is not wrong, but I don't see where the call for fairness comes from. The rest is all strategy for the traveler as...

Well, in a fair comparison the likely 1-2hours trip in the US would be with an Embraer 145 or a CRJ700 with a feeder regional airline. Which would come with a (US domestic) first class cabin, at least on the CRJ700 and most regional aircraft with 60-70 seats or more. I do agree that passengers who ...

The A330 (OE-LAC) is on the ground in Baku for 2 full days. Apparently Air Belgium does not need the aircraft for other operations during this period. Flight may be too long for the same crew to turn around and bring the aircraft back. Air Belgium would have had to position another crew the day bef...
