Re: BRU Winter 2025 - 2026: news, new routes, airlines

There are also strong rumors that UA could open a new base in a hot region, with Florida often coming up in discussions. This could be interesting, and practically our only chance of getting a connection with this state in the future. Only time will tell. Maybe. It was tried many times in the past ...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2024

It's how the market works: these days companies don't have to choose much, it's a different story then 25 years ago. It''s a real crisis at this moment. Belgian pilots, mostly copilots, are leaving for other skies (major airlines, in the Middle East,...). Hiring new guys is difficult. Especially at...

No wonder at all 😀

Re: BRU Winter 2025 - 2026: news, new routes, airlines

Which government? Belgian? US? Canada? Will BRU become a UA base if they do BRU-BOS? Only Belgian and US. But it's more the US government who has to be convinced more. The Belgians said already yes. What do you mean with a UA base? You speak about a hub? There are other airports where UA offer more...

Re: BRU Winter 2025 - 2026: news, new routes, airlines

Wich is not surprising at all since there is a big project going on between Air Canada and United Airlines to provide more flights and destination from the US and Canada, Brussels Airlines to increase the number of flight and destination to Africa and BAC to provide the infrastructure for this grow...

Re: BRU Winter 2025 - 2026: news, new routes, airlines

And all this from the convenience of a dedicated Star Alliance terminal, A pier (West)? ;) For the moment the B pier will be sufficient enough as there is a lot of space yet. Not all new long haul will start at the same moment, month or year. It will go gradually. But yes, I agree that with what we...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2024

A destination we don’t talk too much on this forum is perhaps Helsinki. What could be the reason SN is not flying to this European capital city? I know it’s not a star airport but traffic, yields and transfer possibilities are not high enough to fly Helsinki for SN? Sometimes hard to understand to ...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2024

I don't know if there are unreliable but in the structure of the bigger airlines they don't fit because they have big slots problems and can't use them but the strength of Brussels Airport here is that there are no problem with slots and still a variety of transfer destinations and like sn26567 sai...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2024

There are not disappearing but it's a niche market! And so you are saying that there are not cheaper to use on short flights? Niche market yes, but they are also disappearing. Lots of airlines got rid of their turboprops in the past few years. And others are busy in the process... The ATR is not ev...

Re: BRU Winter 2025 - 2026: news, new routes, airlines

I place it in this topic as I assume it can take still 4 seasons.

But at this moment the negotiations are on the way with UA, and the governments of course, to open the routes from Boston and Houston to BRU.

Keep an eye on it

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2024

I have to agree here that a few turboprops, much cheaper to operate than big jets, would be a nice addition to the SN fleet for the destinations that have been mentioned above: Bordeaux, Nantes, Billund, but also Cork, Hanover, Nuremberg, Basel and even Luxemburg. In the past, these destinations we...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2024

I never wanted to compare Sabena with Brussels Airlines it's not the same period anyway . I don't understand why Brussels Airlines is not taking more market in Brussel like othe airlines are doing in there home airports. If they grab more market it will be good for the hub also etc... My god, you s...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2024

Let me give you some facts between the old Sabena and Brussels Airlines. Just to make you clear how a very small Brussels airlines is doing much better than the much bigger former state owned Sabena. Sabena had a fleet of around 100 planes Brussels airlines has a fleet of 44 planes Sabena was flyin...

Well, you do not seem to know that Barcelona is e real business city. See eg. all the US airlines that opened new routes to BCN in recent months. The city has taken over many exhibitions and events from other cities. Eg they took SeaFood expo from Brussels. One of the biggest shows on earth. All ho...

That's a seasonal route that already started last year. This summary only contains new routes.
Not a year around route to come ?
That was the plan but so far bookings stop in October.
It's still early and it would become also daily
