SNBA is doing well. As usual, the Africa network is the golden egg, but more important also the European network is flying now in black figures. About Virgin Express, the loss is lower that budgeted. It seems that the merge between the two carriers is a good marriage. The figures are available later...

I don't know if you read the text very well. The codeshare is an agreement with ASI and they can buy seats on the six weekly flights of SNBA to Dakar. It's still SNBA who will fly this route. The agreement is good for pax in Dakar if they want travel further in Africa where SNBA don't fly. Is this o...

I'm very pleased that an African carrier doing so well.

But, I have also one question about it: is KLM, fiancial, also involved in the order or are the costs only for Kenya?

The age is less important. Some old planes are very good or even better. Airlines who are blacklisted are airlines with some crashes or serious technical malfunctions and maintenance papers who are nor correct. It's a very good signal to the airlines that they not play with pax lives and only want g...

In the newspaper of today, Het Nieuwsblad, stood the story that I mentioned two posts above this. The actiongroups will not melt into one group but they will have a stronger voice. The group exist: AWACCS, Sterrebeek 2000, Wake up Kraainem, Wakker Tervuren, Decibel 25L, Kortenberg, Actiegroep Groot-...

As announced Etihad Airways and SN Brussels Airlines held the official ceremony of the new transatlantic service of Etihad on Thuesday 15 November at the airport of BRU. At the party 200 guest were invited and they could enjoy the best products of Belgium and the UAE. Some representatives of Etihad,...

What's changed at that site???? I cheked that site once a week and it looks te same.

It's not so simple like that: the whole Walloon department would take airlines over from Zaventem. Look at the question of Walloon to bring some flights of SNBA and Virgin to Charleroi. This is not Belgium any more but everyone for it's own. At Charleroi they could everything, also at LGG. In the bo...

If it belongs to Ryanair they put two more aircrafts at the airport of Charleroi and serve 25 routes instead of 11 today. But it's not Ryanair who decide. It's the Walloon government and in this case it's mister André Antoine. And believe it or not but the whole case is made for Ryanair. The restric...

Some actiongroups of the East- and South side of the airport are going to work together to stay stronger in their protest against the dispersion plan of the airport. The main goal of this group is going back to the situation of 1999 and 2000 and get rid of the dispersion plan. Before that plan there...

Nu heb ik gelezen via één van de sites van die actiegroepen dat ze het hier niet bij gaan laten. Ik heb het hier over de milieuvergunning. Ze hebben toegegeven dat ze hals over kop hebben gehandeld maar dat ze het nu constructief gaan aanpakken, dit gaat wel een aantal jaren aanslepen, dat weten ze ...

I hope that, what kind of parti: here in Belgium or Abu Dhabi, telling the truth. They reach nothing with telling story's. If they telling that the flights from BRU to Abu Dhabi are sold till March 2006 means that the majority will buy seats after that period. I this is not true, like you are saying...

I don't think we will see very soon a Japanese carrier at Bru. But BIAC want then sooner then 2007 at BRU. So maybe could they give, together with Macquarie Airports, some good reasons to start flights to BRU.

Very good news indeed en nice to hear. We will see what the future brings.

For the BRU movements you can look at the site of Belgocontrol: www.belgocontrol.be

There you can see the movements of BRU and the regional airports: Ostend, Antwerp, Liege and Charleroi.

Greetz

As predicted, and very normal, they can give at this moment no load figures. After six months they are going evaluate the new route and give me more details about that.

Very friendly people in Abu Dhabi

I thought that they going received the forth A330 in 2007. That's a long time in the airline world. I hope that they, till then, have a new strategic Africa plan. Look at KLM/Air France, BA, Kenya Airways who they have expand their Africa network. In the time Sabena exist they were the nr 1 in Afric...

A lot of flights to Africa are overbooked, so I think the figures are very good. I know from somebody of the check in that they had for a flight 80 overbookings!! The flights to Africa and the cargo to and from are the golden egs for SNBA.

Really funny

That's typical in the airline landscape. Launching an airline and not flying for the first of two years. Then you can ask seriously 1) will they ever go into the sky 2) will they survive?

I have my doubt's about that.
