They won't 'lose' money if they fill an empty seat with a pax paying 69€ (even staff travelers are beneficial to the bottom line)If the plane is full of 69€ pax, that's something else. SN, like other airlines, must have their statistics. They must know that on flight SNxxxx from A to B on day 1 of ...

Very good news to read that another long established will not disappear

in order to put the safety record in the right perspective it would be necessary to see the same list as given by Flanker for LH in 2013 and 2014 for other big European airlines with lots of long haul and short haul flights (like AF, BA, IB Seems fair to me, but the list of incidents for LH in 2013...

You're right. I had'nt thought of that. Or also Hainan and Jet Airways out of BRU ?

cathay belgium wrote: No more holidays for russians in europe Sounds good !

Politically incorrect, but I agree

But do we want, like my parents did, to fly to Tokyo via Anchorage again ?

BRU already has a restriction on the amount of flights between 23:00 or 23:30 and 24:00 I presume you mean for take offs, because, certains nights, depending on the wind direction, I have aircraft landing nonstop between 11pm and 1am, by nonstop I mean an interval of at most two minutes between pla...

In the current political context Sukhoi is out of the question.

Rumour has it that :

The loss indirectly incurred by Aeroflot would certainly be compensated by the Russian State.

Also a good idea will be to close the airport for take off from 23:00 to 07:00.A good idea? That's a disaster for e.g. charter operations and (LCC) hub operations (with early morning departures and late evening arrivals back at the hub to optimise aircraft utilisation). BRU is already in a difficul...

(trying to getting used how Luchtzak works) Or could it just be that you happen to be living under one of those new departure routes in Brussels city?? Actually, with the so-called Wathelet Plan adopted under the Leterme governments when Wathelet was in charge of "Budget", I got a lot less...

why is taking the shortest route after take off ridiculous? It saves a lot of fuel to start with Because it may mean flying over areas with a high density of population and more casualties in case of a crash. Given your assertion, I presume you would also want airlines to fly over Easter Ukraine ag...

So 4 posts ago you were complaining about the noise above your house and now you agree?I will tell you why you agree: because you think that independent ICAO representatives would route those airplanes over less dense populated (flemish) area anyway.But imagine that they take the more ecological ro...

1. The is no "Wathelet Plan". At best you can speak of the "So-called Wathelet Plan", because Wathelet applied the decisions made by the Leterme governments in 2008 and 2010 when Etienne Schouppe was in charge of Mobilty (both Leterme and Schouppe were CD&V = Flemisch christi...

Do we know the reasons for these delays ?

What's wrong with the operations restrictions wanted by the Brussels Region, if they are actually an alignment on what is applied for instance in Madrid and Heathrow. Have a look at the comparison table below. Round the clock operations can be imposed by dictators in Gulf States, not in a balanced d...
