Cool... Maybe the whole RJ100s repaint process will be completed before the end of summer !

Hey,

It seems that OO-DJO is currently in the paintshop ! Is the repaint process going faster again ?

Any info about the Bae 146 ? Will they finally wear the new livery ?

Thx for replies...

Vincent

As none of the BAe 146 are repainted so far, which are clearly the oldest ones of the Avro/BAe fleet, might that be a sign they will be retired soon (this means before repainting 8) ) Or is it just a coincidence and I am interpreting too much into it ... :lol: Aren't the BAe's going to Africa if SN...

I am just wondering... How many brussels airlines planes still to go to the paintshop ?
Thx for the information !

So they pretty much never had a loadfactor over 40-50 %? They must get some good yields on those africa flights to compensate for this lossmaking flight... Why don't they open the flight up to non-CDG-Africa trafic? Could earn them some extra cash. I agree... as i would love to fly SN on their euro...

According to 'De Standaard' , an agreement was reached between the pilots, the unions and the management of Brussels Airlines. So this trouble is solved and may I remind everyone :arrow: without striking! It seems there are people smart enough to know that other means of action can also lead to an ...

What about the Embraers rumours... just pure speculation... or serious talks ?

Hey, Taken from "Le Soir" newspaper : Pas d'action chez Brussels Airlines lundi 30.04.2007, 16:33 La compagnie aérienne Brussels Airlines ne sera pas secouée par des mouvements sociaux avant le 2 mai. Si le préavis de grève couvrant les pilotes arrive à échéance ce lundi, les syndicats pré...

Expansion for Bru.Air in East Africa is really important for the company, and plans are underway, problem is they take time to become operational. Also, Bru.Air shouln't only be concentrating on East Africa, its high time to fly to the U.S. I am not saying 10 flights a day, but at least Boston or N...

Not fair... as brussels airlines isn't a money loser so far...

So I am going with my personal opinion :

. Short/medium haul
- to replace the Avros : Embraer RJ & Airbus (318s & 319s)
- to replace the Boeing : Airbus (319s & 320s)

. Long Haul : less urgent - but I'd like them to choose the 350s

It seems this topic can be relaunched after brussels airlines CEO comments on that point on yesterday...

The main hall onto the old building is a gift from the USA at the expo of 58 . Since Its a gift it has to be kept as a memorial or historical building . The small part of the building was not a part of the whole concept , the rotonde is part . So it cannot be destroyed . As by ending the Belgian ma...

How are the old building + satellite used nowadays ?

It's about time Brussels Airport is going to demolish or renovate the old part of the airport because today, it looks like hell. When you arrive by car (or even by plane) at Brussels Airport it looks like some Eastern European airport during the Cold War! Just look at the old part in the background...

- Be done by 2011 (it's hi time to order!)
- Start in 2011 (order time coming real soon!)
- Initiate with an order in 2011 (Avro's until 2014-5...)

See topic below :

Why did they demolish the small pier ?
And what are the plans regarding the old terminal building and the satellite ?

.... I like others will not bother to wait...., I dont really care ! oh I so hope someone has the balls to say enough is enough and sort the bloddy mess out before there is nothing left to sort out T Ah well, as you do not care, why are you crying for 'someone with balls' ?

OK... let me going further here :

Maybe this has already been discussed... However, can anybody provide some update about future brussels airlines fleet renewal plans ?
Which aircrafts could replace the current fleet ? When ? etc, etc...

All information much appreciated...

Cheer,

Vincent
