Re: BRU Winter 2021-2022: news, new routes, airlines

Hi all,

[Sorry if this was already posted somewhere else]

It seems Emirates is going to fly more to BRU during wintertime: 10 instead of 7 flights per week. B773ER

Extra flights on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Re: Flying again ... what about you?

In fact I did not fly for leisure either over the past 18 months. But the trip to Split is together with my wife, so she also made the switch now to not wait longer and to travel. We also plan to have in April next year a trip with the full family (8 of which 2 small kids) :D I totally agree that it...

Flying again ... what about you?

Hi all, This week I had my first (business) trip since 02/2020 :) :( ... Was to Nice, to go to Genoa (I like to drive by car between Nice/Genoa). Flights to and from Nice were quite full (I estimate >80%), even two/four business passengers. But mostly tourists. Coming back, also several transfer pas...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2020

As Conti64 mentioned, storage is long-term parking. Parking is typically for a grounding of two months or less. Over two months, storage is cheaper, however it takes longer to return a stored aircraft to service. [...] Thanks for your clear explanations. Appreciated! Indeed, very comprehensive and ...

Your organisations travel policy

Hi all, Recently my organisation changed policies regarding air travel which, in general, I support. As a general rule my employer wants to reduce the use of air travel (of course if you have meetings in China, you can't go on foot, or even are not able to take the train :D ). For short distances yo...

Impact of your organisation on BRU

Hi all, I am just wondering which organisations have a big impact on the figures of BRU airport. We all know that e.g. the EC and related bodies are major users of the airport: own staff travelling around; people visiting the EU bodies in Brussels; people attending events of the EU; family of expats...

Re: Brussels Airport monthly traffic figures

Nice figures. I think the figures for 02/2020 will also be not too bad: 1) Number of flights/seats to China from BRU is limited 2) Last year saw a drop in the figures (don't remember what happened at that time), so was special month anyway 3) There are 29 instead of 28 days in the month this time :D...

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal

SFH will not (yet) have the new cabin, right?

Which one will be next, I mean for getting the new cabin?

Or does another one first need maintenance?

SFF?

Hi all, In the B-Inspiration magazine the map indicates a 'new' destination: Antalya. I guess it was first dropped but now they decided to fly it again ? Maybe they have a new contract with a tour-operator ? Many destinations are not anymore on the map (as discussed here before): Reus, Girona, Almer...
