Re: Brussels Airlines in 2017

Hi all, See in the departures at BRU today a flight of SN to Yerevan (SN1143, 12:55). Is this a charter flight or a kind of 'test' flight before launching the route end of March? It seems to be an A319. I thought the flight was to be organised together with a tour operator anyway, so they might hav...

Re: Lufthansa buys the remaining 55% of Brussels Airlines

It seems to me that SN will eventually be fully integrated into EUROWINGS. no SN will operate under the Eurowings umbrella, that is what is written in the press release.... The brand ‘Brussels Airlines’ will be complemented by the claim “Member of the Eurowings Group”. The common goal of Lufthansa ...

You can watch the press conference here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPbHerqV9Ac I'll quote Carsten Spohr's last words literally: "I cannot envision a Brussels Airlines without a brand including a Belgian touch. We will not touch the brand unless we have an agreement with with the Belgian ...

Re: Lufthansa buys the remaining 55% of Brussels Airlines

If that's correct, it's the opposite of what the doomsayers have repeated here three times a day. There will be no integration of Brussels Airlines into EuroWings, the Africa-flights will not move from Brussels to Germany, and the company "nv/sa Brussels Airlines" will (probably) remain t...

Re: Brussels Airlines OCT '16 figures: +5.5%

I say very well done Brussels Airlines, for showing positive figures even a few months after 22/3 and while the airport is still showing negative figures...

Re: Brussels Airlines SEPT '16 figures: 8,2% more passengers.

Ok for sure you're right. My experience this week ! BRU YYZ 85% + YYZ BRU 98% + BRU BIO 100 % minus 3 seats in Bizz and class BIO BRU 95%... I guess it's not so bad ! But you're right for sure ! then you need to go back to school. 70 to 80% is not half! Nordikcam actually proves my point. If the av...

Re: Brussels Airlines SEPT '16 figures: 8,2% more passengers.

Which is why they had to take several loans to keep their head above the water, one of them leading to the take over now and a reason why they copied Ryanair's strategy of yield negative/load factor positive strategy. That only works if you get the loadfactors obviously. The ASK and RSK figures are...

Re: Brussels Airlines SEPT '16 figures: 8,2% more passengers.

Something that I have been saying for a looong time now. They take the risk by adding loads of low yield destinations on bigger airplanes, thats a good strategy IF and only IF your LF is in the nineties. A 2,5% decline is a drama seeing that their rock bottom fares are not drawing enough bums to th...

Re: Brussels Airlines SEPT '16 figures: 8,2% more passengers.

Same story as every month. Load factor stays equal, so the only reason for the extra pax is the extra space in the aircraft. If they do not manage to get their load factors up this is not a good story. In a low yield strategy, a high loadfactor is of the upmost importance. No airline can survive in...
