Re: TNT Airways news 2016

Maybe also important is that LGG is part of CDG.
Fed Ex can maybe discus a better price like that and CDG keep LGG on track .

It's true that Brussels Airlines has a good reputation outside Belgium sometimes this was not the case anymore with SABENA.

Re: Brussels Airlines may claim the crown in Belgian skies also in 2015.

I realy think Brussels is good company but they have to stop canceling flights that's the most important now.
On that point of view it's not well managed!

Re: Brussels Airlines may claim the crown in Belgian skies also in 2015.

But we are speaking about 3 planes instead of 1 this is not a big difference?!?!? I'd say it depends on the current size: organic growth always looks bigger in absolute numbers when you have a bigger size to start from. They have just 8 planes now right, if I understood well? Adding 3 planes to tha...

Re: Brussels Airlines may claim the crown in Belgian skies also in 2015.

Nice progression indeed! Yet, I'm still amazed at the wariness of SN's management: with a 9 % growth in Afi pax number, a load factor above 80 % on US flights, the India/Toronto opportunity that was known for months (and even years) they have been bold :shock: enough to order 1 (one!, un!, een!, ei...

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal

If you compare Brussels Airlines' fleet to Sabenas at the time of its demise, it starts to look like something: Type/Brussels Airlines/Sabena A319 21/15 A320 9/6 A332 3/6 A333 7/4 Of course, Sabena had some equipment of more different types (A342/3, A321, B733/5, MD11) but I guess it's a smart move...

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal

Sabena also has an impressive fleet, much larger than the needs of a country like Begium thanks to a lot of transit and transfer traffic in Brussels. Sabena was bigger than Austrian in 2001. Their fleet also happened to be quite recent. But everybody knows how Swissair mishandled Sabena and brought...

Re: Jet Airways out of Brussels

Brussels was never a priority for Asian airlines they deserted Brussels many times!!!
Let the 3ME come a least they stay and has good prices and very good map.
For example my colleagues are going regularly to Hong Kong before they use to go true an European gatway...
Today they use Emirates...
