Re: Estonian Air bankrupt - Replaced by Nordica
Nordica is mulling buying out the stake held by LOT in their joint carrier, Regional Jet (Estonia), as Nordica does believe LOT will be in it for the long-run due to changing market conditions. However, the buyout would not necessarily be the end of their collaboration. Nordica is underperforming, ...

Re: Air Belgium in 2018
Walloon Government examined this morning the possibility of granting a loan of €4 mln for Air Belgium. If that is allowed by EU ? Perhaps they should start working iso celebrating King day :roll: State aid? Or will they give 4 mln euros to Brussels Airlines, TUI fly and SHS Aviation as well? 😁

Re: WOW announcing services from BRU !
Given Wow Air is to be purchased by Iceland Air, how likely is it both airlines will continue to serve BRU in future? Icelandair said that in a first step it would keep the two airlines independent. Draw your own conclusions :) This first step will most likely include an optimization of the network...

Re: Brussels Airport (BRU) infrastructure: future
The Diabolo surcharge on train tickets has been made compulsary by the European Commission. Otherwise, it would be illegal state aid - illegal competition towards other airports. Thanks, that is new to me. Not really a surprise, though. Does this also imply the level of the surcharge? As the curren...

Re: Primera Air to launch three U.S. routes from Brussels in 2019
I hope Primera's BRU-flights will be more successfull than their BHX-operations. They were short-lived: one summer season only. Let's hope their 737's will be delivered in time to start with and Primera can make it through the end of the season at Brussels. Given Primera's product offer, frequencies...

Re: BRU Summer 2019: news, new routes, airlines
The picture looks different when we compare seat capacity:
- airBaltic's CS300 have 145 seats * 3 = 435 seats a week (one-way)
- LOT/Nordica's CRJ900 have 88 seats * 10 = 880 seats a week (one-way)
