A. Can you explain why you think that it's preferable that LH and the Belgian State reach an agreement? Do you really want more of the last 10 years, except worse? Because I think in times when your country is being hit by the biggest crisis since the Great Depression, the government shouldn't vent...

Opinion in La Libre Belgique mainly from some Belgian universities’ researchers: ‘Nationalizing Brussels Airlines is the only choice for the futuré In French only: https://www.lalibre.be/debats/opinions/nationaliser-brussels-airlines-est-le-seul-choix-d-avenir-5eed12119978e21bd09d5591 We already ha...

We already had this story a few weeks ago, when the same people published their manifesto in a Flemish newspaper. Their motivation has nothing do with corona, with economics, with Brussels Airlines and/or with Brussels Airport. I have googeled all of the signers. They vary from utopia dreamers to e...

The government is not handing out 290 or 390 million euros, depending on the sources. It is a loan that will have to be repaid. Repayment might be difficult, but in the 2008 crisis, it has been shown that the government made big profits on its investments in financial companies. Why not again in av...

We are talking about low pay jobs, a majority of whom are getting less than Horeca, crews earning less than industry standards, with no ability to conduct a normal social or family life, with higher risk to health, without job security or future prospects. Is Lufthansa actually saving these 4000 pe...

Silence is the best now for the negotiations. Leaks to the press, fake or not fake, is only to make the pressure higher and lead to one party to make the decision faster. Indeed. The fact that both Lufthansa and Brussels Airlines remain silent, is ennoying some people. What an amazing day it was, F...

There is a new big shareholder in the LH group whoowns now (pre-dillution 15% of the shares). And he is not happy with Austrian and Brussels, as they earn no money, so little value proposition with the Group. So, management would have to keep his wishes in mind as well. At the end of the day, both ...

The difference between Alitalia and Brussels Air is that the Italian government will do everything to keep them alive. The Belgian government will not, like with Sabena in 2001. The difference between AZ and SN is that the AZ staff had the b*lls to stand up to its foreign incompetent owners and cal...

The LH shareholder vote will be interesting to watch. There is just one investor that has a big position, most other stock is owned by short-term speculators or funds who can take their gains or cut their losses and close their positions and who would not be interested in voting. Will the investor i...

At this very moment when all airlines have very reduced flight schedules and will probably not go back to "normal" until quiet some time, 24 slots and the flights which go with it are nothing for LH. It's the future, of course, which bothers them. Especially, if I understood correctly, th...

I think that it's very interesting that LH's PR department has stopped posting on this forum since a few weeks. As if they have "given up". If LH is considering liquidating SN on the basis of lack of agreement with the unions on some drastic cuts, the unions hold the future in their own ha...

Brussels Airlines' English language call center, will try to twist your request for refunds on flights that SN cancelled, making it look like you are requesting to cancel, so that they only need to refund you the taxes "in accordance with the fare policy." Are Brussels Airlines aware that ...

Actually select BRU staff, so people working for the airport, such as airport inspection, facility technical staff, are trained and authorised to operate the bridge. For a few flights per day, they can operate the bridge, it's not like they are swamped with work. The staff that is trained from BRU ...

Sure, some funds are coming in with the new bookings, but how long will they last and how much do they already owe to suppliers and others (accounts payable) that they haven't paid yet?

Swissport - BRU filed for bankruptcy today. What will be the impact on the re-start of SN's operations next week? https://www.hln.be/in-de-buurt/zaventem/swissport-vraagt-faillissement-aan-voor-grondafhandeling-brussels-airport-1-500-banen-op-de-helling~a0737d7e/?utm_source=browser&utm_medium=p...

Well, if we may rely on last friday's mediacoverage, after the announcement by the EU and gov. that frontiers within Schengen would open as from 15th of june ,the bookings with both SN and TUI picked up and are labelled 'encouraging' to such a level that SN is even considering to add additional fli...
