Belgian touch will be kept.
So maybe more belgian icons will follow ? Why not on an A330 ?

A company focussing on Africa from BRU and mainly on the USA from DUS?

Long Haul Center of Excellence will be based in Brussels. https://www.aviation24.be/airlines/lufthansa-group/eurowings/eurowings-ceo-thorsten-dirks-wants-brussels-airlines-become-long-haul-center-excellence/ https://m.lecho.be/entreprises/aviation/Les-plans-d-Eurowings-pour-Brussels-Airlines/9979925...

Rumours, rumours & rumours! Let's try, all of us, to just focus on the facts instead of acting out emotionally. Today was a great lesson. Which great lesson ? The lesson for me is not to listen to the press anymore in this kind of situation! All they want is to writte sensational stuff without ...

Brussels Airlines, heading for Africa. 23th December 2017. https://www.lecho.be/entreprises/aviation/Brussels-Airlines-cap-sur-l-Afrique/9966244 Good to remember a Bernard Gustin recent interview to "l'Echo" on 7th December 2017 during the first brussels airlines flight to the new airport ...

If the rumour becomes true, will there be voices at the political, juridical, economic level that are ready to contest a questionable transfer of the african network in Germany[/b] ? Something like this. It remembers the weeks after sabena went bankrupt. https://www.tijd.be/ondernemen/luchtvaart/Of...

Yes, and so far none of it materialized and I am under the stong impression it wont either. Look, the airline may change name for the 4th time in 15 years and may be completely integrated into a bigger operational set up, allowing for huge backoffice synergies and some reshuffling of organically gr...

About Africa, BRU and DUS are not the same market, isn't it ? BRU is mostly a point to point airport, also for Asia and NA, the market is there with the bilateral traffic rights between Belgium and intercontinental markets. The transfer traffic (+- 4.2 mio pax if I'm correct) is growing mostly thank...

It's as efficient than cold looking.
Yellow is gone, like a shining sun, is it a sign ?
So the new Lufthansa livery looks as dull and huge than Frankfurt airport can be. Especially when the grey sky outside is alike with Fraport's so long, boring corridors and soulless waiting rooms.

In the same article, Bernard Gustin mentions "new aircraft interiors, with better seats.."(sorry, I don't remember the exact wordings, I just read the article quickly). Does this mean the "new" (ex SQ and CX) A330's will have a completely new aircraft interior, different from th...

Thanks sn26567 for adding more information from Niky Terzakis. Mainland China is the big boost these times ! The competition towards China becomes impressive. Revealing little by little their economic and demographic real strength. Many room left for all these different projects (CX, HU, Air Belgium...

They will come with the Canadair or with the Sukkhoi ? ;) :D There's hope for long-haul aircraft soon : ''Most likely the airline will add one (or two) long-haul aircraft to its fleet in the coming weeks." https://www.aviation24.be/airlines/iraero/flights-from-liege-airport-to-china-will-resum...

SN will focus on Africa in 2018. Where is UA? UA is very present out of LHR as they still have their hub, same goes for FRA Yes, these are their hubs, but at BRU, before the attacks, an early afternoon flight by UA to EWR (maybe using a 757) was planned to fil the gap with 9W. Sometimes IAH is deba...

USA from BRU 2018.
Sluggish indeed.

New York JFK : SN, DL
Newark : UA
Chicago O'Hare : UA
Washington Dulles : UA, SN (seasonal)
Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson : DL
+
Miami Int : TB

SN will focus on Africa in 2018.
Where is UA?

The press is reporting financial woes at HNA, Hainan’s parent company. Aircraft deliveries are delayed due to lack of money, this could delay the opening of new routes. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-hna-group-debt/hnas-problems-mount-as-airlines-delay-payments-bank-sets-up-team-to-handle-debt-...

We'll see the loadfactors and the board decisions.
Also if candidates when the A380 gate will be operational.
EK possibilities are wider with twice daily connections, dus they fly double daily now.

A380 is aimed at BRU. It would be surprising if EK gave their evening flight up after the recent and successful? lauch last october. Any loadfactors - passengers and cargo - for both flights between BRU and their megahub DXB? If the twice daily demand confirms to be high, maybe EK will upgrade one o...

Good news. Could SN code-share with HU on this SZX new route? Or PVG? Even HKG with CX?

Nice ! In 2017, BRU welcomed a total number of 23.056.066 passengers from January until november included. In december 2016 there where 1.684.147 passengers transported. As a projection, if an average increase of 5% is estimated on december 2016, BRU could welcome the account of 1.768.354 passenger...

The growing figures of Av24 are also positive
