Re: Brussels Airport (BRU): Star Alliance, Oneworld and Skyteam under one roof?
Pax B to A (shengen citizens, US, Canada): border control. So no security control? This video from BRU itself shows otherwise: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DIhgm93OSjI (But I haven't seen the actual situation myself as I don't transfer). Security control from non-Shengen EU countries, the US and ...

Re: BRU Winter 2019-2020: news, new routes, airlines
But unbelievable that they can go to double daily on AMS while other airlines cannot. They all the time increase more at AMS like previously. From AMS there is even more competition It's surprising indeed. After LHR and JV hubs AMS is their biggest intercontinental destination while AA is quite sma...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2019
If SN wants to grow and become a network airline, you would imagine they would work on and develop further their existing destinations. First they need smaller planes (Embraer/A220). The A319 is too big to fly multiple daily to destinations as Bristol. That's why Bristol, Hannover, Billund, Nantes,...

Re: Brussels Airport (BRU): Star Alliance, Oneworld and Skyteam under one roof?
Now it could be those US, Canada or Euro passengers have to pass through security anyways but I fail to see the added value of a seperate border control for them when they have to undergo the same security check as people from other countries. Passengers from the EU, VS and Canada don’t need to go ...

Re: Brussels Airport (BRU): Star Alliance, Oneworld and Skyteam under one roof?
An airport HAS to care of the airlines and the alliances. Those are their clients. To give you one example: at LHR you also have the alliances under one roof and this to make the journey of the pax more easier and the connecting time shorter. This makes LHR also more attractive even it is the busie...

Re: Brussels Airport (BRU): Star Alliance, Oneworld and Skyteam under one roof?
Why would an airport care about the alliances and their placement? The only reason would be to accommodate transferring passengers and limit their connection time. But having the connecting passengers walk through your revenue-generating mall, and on the other hand keeping Shengen/non-Shengen split...

Re: BRU Summer 2020: news, new routes, airlines
With less competition on the market, exit Jet Airways, it would be good if AC could consider to open a new Canadian destination ex-BRU. Vancouver was/is already for a long time on the wish list. Even it is very expensive and to get a job there, you really need to have the good "joker card"...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2019
Ben Smith has said he wanted to make a major shake up in Africa, for Air France. Reduce the number of tag service.Probably use some aircraft such as A321LR enabling to add more flights on some destinations, where the B777 or A330 is too big. Djibouti is served only 1 time a week by AF, while Tutkis...

Re: Brussels Airport (BRU) infrastructure: future
BRU is a sad example of the neo-capitalistic mentality: shareholders (and top management) first; customers, personnel, suppliers and contractors last. The dividends were enormous in the last years: 2013 67mio 2014 99,4mio 2015 45,5mio 2016 109 mio (the year of the terror attacks !!!) 2017 74mio 201...

It looks unfinished and temporary. As there is no official communication from SN, I don't believe this is the new livery.

Re: Brussels Airport (BRU) infrastructure: future
Recently, I took a flight from Toronto to Brussels. The gate agent checked my passport and that was it! No further passport check, no nothing ! I don't see why any country would check a passport while leaving the country ... A number of reasons: - To check if people overstayed their visa; - To catc...

Does SN have planes to effectively fly to IAH or SFO? Both are further than any airport SN flies to.

Re: Brussels Airport (BRU) infrastructure: future
So sad to see there were again giant problems at BRU on saturday. Now there is an operational problem every week or so. If not a strike of fire brigade or skeyes or baggage handlers or customs or immigration officers, it is technical or software problem. Or something else. For me the management of ...
