Re: Brussels Airport (BRU) infrastructure: future

An article published in April 2023, but it seems that no one put it on this forum BRU eyes links to Singapour (it will be the case in few months), Manilla, Hong Kong (i guess a return of Cathay Pacific), Delhi, Bangkok (same thing that HKG), Seoul, Taipei, San Fransisco, Boston and Sao Paulo.

Re: RwandAir & Rwandan Aviation News 2023

I made a mistake it's not 6 th B737-800, but the 5 B737-800 pax plus one B737-800F. Thus 6 B737NG (1 700 and 5 800) + 1 B737-800F

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2023

Contrary to what we think, Brussels Airlines doesn't take advantage and won't probably take advantages of Air France troubles in West Africa. To Ouagadougou the airline doesn't take trafic from Air France. Worst, the airline is loosing trafic to OUA (-7% since the troubles started in August) and the...

Re: RwandAir & Rwandan Aviation News 2023

I would say 50 / 50. Both have premium eco. I know SkyTraxx has not good reputation among Avgeeks (but not outside Avgeeks community), but both airlines are 3 stars SkyTrax and RwandAir is ranked 90th and Brussels Airlines 100th, in the 2023 SkyTrax Ranking. https://www.worldairlineawards.com/worlds...

Unfortunately, Congo is not alone in this case. And the Western carriers are probably less impacted than Africans carriers.
