Nothing against your enthusiasm and commitment Ansett, but a crodwfunding for a commercial company part of a huge airline group with thousands of rich shareholders sounds... a bit weird at least

I can't imagine it will be flying around like that. Not even a tail logo...

Also the belly and the engines aren't fully finished...

SN3779 BRU-TFS returned to Belgium after almost reaching Paris, currently holding near AFI/KERKY. Burning fuel to get to MLW and land at BRU?

Of course I know I can see the arrivels on brusselsairport.be , just wanted to ask the question here + there was no topic for 06/02 yet so...

And yes it happens often to see 2 ET 777 F at the same time..

Thank you!

When looking out of the office this morning, I see 2 Ethiopian 77F aircraft standing together at the ramp. Is this coincidence or scheduled? Never saw this up until now as far as I remember.

Seems to have landed, safely I presume...

No doubt because of balance. The seating you propose would certainly be felt on the flight deck...

Montreal – Brussels 28MAR20 – 30APR20 A330-300 replaces 787-8

Which means a capacity increase by +-30 seats on average, very nice!

Is this maintenance or phase-out?

Weren't they going to start BRU as well?

When can we expect a new Belgian icon? I thought one was foreseen this year as well?

I work in a company where exactly the same happens, everything for the Shareholders and the top managers-bonus.
Short term decisions,poor knowledge of the market, low repect for the customers... Quick bucks.
NOT Future-oriented. Will see what happens.

Off-topic but this looks soooooo familiar

I guess a rather logical move since the end of Thomas Cook:
- SN with free capacity
- TUI Belgium with too few planes/seats since they were leasing almost daily at SmartLynx, FreeBird, ...

My 2 cents...

BRU really seems the missing city pair (AMS, LHR, CDG, FRA, ...) - a pitty, let's hope the route gets started anytime soon!

Doesn't DUB offer the possibility to do the American Border checks before departure? So arriving at SFO as domestic?

That's correct.

Very nice summary, it seems 2019 was a very good aviation year for you André! Worst flight : MRS-CRL on a Ryanair B738. More than 3 hr delay on departure, when the pilot pushed the engines to the maximum and arrived 2 hr 45 min late at destination, saving the airline 180 x 250 = 45,000 euros in EU26...

But is it something specific? I mean, this can be a lot of things or even worse a combination of a lot of these things: technical problems on aircraft, crew scheduling issues, ATC restrictions, bad maintenance planning, too few aircraft to cover the schedule, ... For sure an escalation on this is ne...

Without attacking SN as an airline at all, I'm not sure if we have to applaud or cry for that Star Alliance part

I made some booking also by now,

Hi cathay belgium, can I ask you one question please? Are these flights business or leisure? An impressive list for sure

Just out of curiosity: did you choose BRU-FCO-AUH-BKK (2 stop) because of the cheaper fare?

I guess anything is possible, if you put the right amount of money on the table. Sometimes, it just makes sense to have a third party do some modifications. EIN may have some special wishes in terms of integration or whatnot which could make the modification hideously expensive if done by Airbus, b...
