On the one hand, many long haul did not yet return: e.g. Atlanta, Bangkok, Hong Kong, Shanghai ... or are operated at a reduced frequency, e.g. Tokyo. Other airports have a lot of tourism travel, such as the ones in Southern Europe, BRU has those a lot less. Holiday travel is booming. In general als...

It seems they start gradually ... One flight a day for at least tomorrow and the day after, if I am not wrong ....

Hi André,

When travelling through Frankfurt on Monday I also saw an AB A330 leaving the gate and starting its journey. Not sure for whom that was.

Cheers,

Hi all, Maybe I am living on another planet, but I never had real problems to upgrade or have a free ticket (e.g. for my wife). Only with LH, if you want to upgrade in the airport prior to leaving, you are on a waiting list since usually they have 'overbookings' or other people are also on the waiti...

Thanks,

Already scheduled tomorrow to Kigali-Entebbe!

Was SFB repainted?

I think it was a major maintenance ... Don't think they perform maintenance and painting in one go ...

Congratulations to Brussels Airlines and all their employees for their effort. Slowly growing and keeping costs under control made where they are now. Let the bashers behind you with all the unrealistic destinations we heard from them. Well done and hopefully LH will reward you for it. What can we ...

Is it the SN pilots that are doing the tests or rather pilots from Airbus?

If I am not wrong it is maintenance and not painting, so it will rather take 2 months or so, no? D But here above it was mentioned about paint. I know, but I just follow this site to see status of aircraft: https://sites.google.com/view/europeanairlinefleets/bel?authuser=0 I just assume this is cor...

Does anyone know how the bookings for Nairobi are doing?

We are preparing a project over there and it would be great to be able to use a direct connection ...

Does anyone know the numbers expected for 2023.

I assume that will be > 8,0 million, no? Still far from the > 10,0 million in the past, but progress is clear (taking into account we had COVID, the unrest in different places ...).

Cheers,

How long does the painting of a big bird like the A330 usually take?

Very sad, but predicted like I did a few years ago. You can't survive from BRU without feeder flights. It's just burning money and not having good investors. I hope LH let SN the opportunity to use one of the remaining pax planes from KF for the time one of their own got stuck. If the LH group is n...

Hi all, I do not say the issue / discussion on LAD is not important but ... ... To be honest, currently I am more concerned about the whole situation in Western Africa that could affect the whole W-African network of SN and other airlines.

Or maybe you meant the opposite: a destination that was already flown by Brussels Airlines and Sabena before. Then I would go for Nairobi or Libreville ...

And also Windhoek is maybe to far away ...

Just asking the insiders, what is the growth scenario for SN? Austrian is getting 1 additional 320NEO and 1 late CEO from LH, Edelweiss is getting a late CEO as well. Are some 319 exits from the fleet postponed? So far there are 5 A320NEO planned for next year, 1 to be delivered in September, 2 in ...
