It looks like Bernard Gustin has time to spare. Being AEA chairman is a nice thing to have on your CV.

Re: brussels airlines to New York!
It's not as efficient but it's possible and 100% compatible. You can also combine with pallets that you shape accordingly to use the space efficiently. The holds don't always travel full full. If you take aircraft like the 330-300, you usually have some empty spots. What better than to fill them wit...

Re: brussels airlines to New York!
Keep making yourself ridiculous.
The A330 and A320 have compatible containers, the -46's.
Several SN aircraft have the locks and rollers if my memory is good.
Not all of them are bulk.

Re: brussels airlines to New York!
you can't load the A330 LD3 containers on an A320 :lol: A319/320 aircraft from SN are not ready to load ULD's, only bulkload. :lol: Who spreads these myths? SN's a319/A320 are LD3 ready, the capability isn't just used and they put net supports instead to hold the bulk. On the floor you have locks.

Re: Jet Airways cancels BRU-JFK from September 2012!
The 77W can indeed do it, but with payload restrictions on both sectors (much like EK's 77W doing the DXB-LAX-DXB rotation) therefore hurting operational exonomics. Which leads to, as LJ said, that it probably won't be economically viable. Barely any payload restrictions. Without exceptional winds ...

Re: Jet Airways cancels BRU-JFK from September 2012!
SFO seems most likely, ORD and IAD are already served by UA, and the for the IT sector in India, SFO also seems like the logical choice (then again, isn't SFO doable with a direct flight from India?). As for the cancelling of BRU-JFK-BRU, I can't say I'm very surprised, I do expect to see them code...

Re: brussels airlines to New York!
I wouldn't call it a good result. If LF is 70% in July, it means LF is about 55% in June and August. I would rather call it dramatic, especially for June. A trans Atlantic wide body with a 55% LF is quiet worrying and can not be profitable. And if you know at what prices they have sold certain seat...

Re: brussels airlines to New York!
Why am I not surprised. In SN's defence, it could be that some of the routes have limited quota's of feeding available or that it's a prior agreement with UA that SN isn't supposed to feed Africa with its own flights until the UA flights reach certain thresholds of load factor. Or maybe it's somethi...

Re: LH email alert: NYC for 499€; backstabbing SN?
Or perhaps it's UA putting the pressure on LH, given that UA is probably losing a significant amount of traffic due to SN's adventure.
Hahahaha, so predictable...
Downgrade to 767? Now I'm starting to believe in a downgrade to 757 for EWR.

Don't you understand that people booking a 50 euro flight have different expectations than people booking a 200 to 2000 euro flight?

The business community is not going to return to C class on short haul, forget it. You are dreaming about rebuilding the Crossair product of 20 years ago, which I knew well, because I often used it.
