Not if they want to have a true C-class and don't lose capacity to the current 737 classics.

Seems hard to believe... http://www.boeing.com/commercial/prices/ Here you can see the average price for the 737 (among others). I expect SN to go after the 737-800 for two obvious reasons, being that they would have to replace the 10 current -300's and -400's and they want to reintroduce C-class. T...

Wasn't the 'new' one supposed to be coming in, in December?

Arrival Hall accommodation: Some airports are worse, some airports are same, some airports are better than BRU. My concern is the customer, the passenger, the citizen who pays a big amount of taxes etc. , and how we can make the service towards him better. Picking up people and arriving in BRU is a...

Nice set though...

Makes you think what happens on the average multiple day trip of many crews. Sex And Boose Every Night Again... A well famous acronym in Belgian aviation

http://www.luchtvaartnieuws.nl/news/?id=29215 It looks like Brussels Airport is serious about Dutch customers. Capacity is limited to 2 full return loads per day (+/- 200 pax) but it is a beginning.

Thnx for the info Atlantis! I've heard that the old departure terminal with check in rows 11 and 12 (now used for SN Africa OPS) will be closed soon and that they will construct a check in row 0, where there is now the gift shop in front of row 1. Is this true? Any idea of when they will start the ...

It will probably be updated anyway, since as far as I know the station will be transformed from a terminal station to a normal (drive-thru) station when the tunnels in the direction of Antwerp are ready. Wasn't the NMBS station given an award in 2007? I believe I read something about that... I don'...

Who did the count? I never knew CO sold standing places? Indeed, cannot be correct. Continentals 767-400's have a max capacity of 256 pax. Maybe 14 Crewmembers onboard? :?: Have no idea. Greetings Marten Continentals 764 with 256 (20C, 236Y) seats are only used for their Micronesia operations. They...

- no news from the child so far

- 270 passengers and crew = 270 people

CO has only 235 seats on their 764's, so that would mean 35 crew members? It's a good airline, but not THAT good

I wonder who will use that terminal besides SN and the *A members already operating at BRU ? It looks, due to the global economical slowdown, we should not expect commitments from e.g. AC, NH, OZ, SQ, SA, TG and others to include BRU in their networks soon. Simply not the best time for installing a...

Lol, you can say that. I think this station deserve the award of the ugliest and scariest station in western europe. Yep, but that's up to the NMBS, not BAC. If you see the money they invest in railway cathedrals in Antwerp, Leuven or Guillemins, it wouldn't be a bad idea to invest a fraction of th...

A Continental Airlines Boeing 767-400, registration N66051 performing flight CO-61 from Brussels (Belgium) to Newark,NJ (USA) with 270 people on board , diverted to Shannon due to a medical emergency on board. The 3-year old girl travelling with her parents had fallen unconscious during the flight,...

Jan, when such an investment is done, there is probably some plan or a feasibility study. Some commitment made hereor there ???? You mean " a millions of euros costing project " is going its way......without any further plans or commitments ?? Wait and see ?? I don't know if it's still ar...

How are latest plans at BRU ? As soon as Diabolo is completed, high speed trains can stop at BRU. I only hope the NMBS will do something about the old '80-ish look of the station, if necessary with BAC money, since the station is not quite welcoming in my opinion, definitely not for high speed trai...

OO-SFM is actually the oldest A330-300 in SN's fleet (first flight on 22/06/1993, delivered to Air Inter on 18/03/1994), SFW is indeed the newest (first flight on 24/11/1994 and delivered to LTU 12/12/1994) http://www.planesregister.com/airline/Brussels%20Airlines-flying-a330.htm Mea Culpa :oops: I...

That's the difference with the automotive industry: a car of 15 year old is a wreck. Planes are like wine, they become better when they are older. A well maintained aircraft of 10 -13 year is as good as a 4 - 5 year old one. It wouldn't be a wreck if it was maintained just as good as the average ai...

When you buy a car, you need to depreciate it. When you lease a car, you need to pay rent. I have no idea which is cheapest and this probably varies based on demand, but I wouldn't be surprised if leasing a plane would cost more given that it's more flexible than buying the plane and I guess that y...

However, if you have a special niche in the market which still shows strong demand and you predict it to continue to do so, this is the right time to invest, but I am not sure if this is really the case for Brussels Airlines long-haul operations or if it is just the hope of many here in the forum :...
