That still doesn't really explain the 4 weeks timeframe IMHO.
TUI never took that long between the 1st commercial flight and the delivery of its brand new planes. That includes new types under the very slow BCAA.

It has nothing to do if the politicians have a clue or not, it's a political decision to reduce the traffic I don't understand what so crazy with it?!

Yeah, right

Amelia Flybe Air India ... just a few for now Play? Norwegian ? Should not be a surprise as the Dutch government goal is to strengthen the position of KLM. The protest from KLM are just for *the Buhne" Hmm; so reducing movements from 500k to 425k is strengthening the position of KLM to you? Th...

Source Wikipedia which is usually more accurate than SN website.

...12 AC on order which are mostly for fleet renewal; not fleet growth.

Just a few numbers to think about :) Luxair growing to a fleet of 33 aircraft for a country of 660.000 inhabitants. Belgium has 11.7 million inhabitants and SN has currently 43 aircaft. https://media1.giphy.com/media/SqfHFPbzxw98xwFOiE/200.gif?cid=6c09b952nvfgoa6jdlvb9qepyf7jqwg8fbmm41h30hc21372&am...

It remains a risky and non-ambitious business modell.. Very sad. There is a difference between ambitious and suicidal. The ideas of you have for SN are not ambitious, they are suicidal. Do you prefer to have a (relatively) small carrier in Belgium (still not doing very well, btw...) or end up like ...

I hope it's readable: The title is wrong: Air Belgium doesn't scrap ALL passenger flights, it scraps only SCHEDULED passenger flights. ACMI flights can also involve passengers. And most of the Belgian press, either Flemish or French, makes the same mistake. https://www.aviation24.be/airlines/tui-av...

Yes but the situation has changed in the meantime and no airlines of the group are allowed at the moment to depart to TLV. Belgian gouvernement asked too late for those flight while German and Swiss gouvernement has been much more reactive. The LH744 flight happened the same day the SN flight shoul...

Excluding Israelis airlines, among biggest airlines only Air France, FlyDubai, Etihad still flying to TLV but AF flights make a stop at Athens on the return flight from TLV to CDG. You seems to forgot this is a war zone. Few days ago, Rockets hit Tel Aviv Airport and we have seen people lied on the...

BLL is also seasonal. I don't see any flights for the winter season. Wasn't the point of the leased aircraft so they could do thin routes as well? And not just in the summer season...or are there some other route plans in the works, not just for those aircraft.... Thx ! It will be Ryanair or CDG. I...

Make a guess.

High time to review/reform this catastrophic EU261 regulation.

I talked with Miqvell some time ago : but I personally had the idea of making KF the "lil leisure sis" of SN, with LH taking them over. KF could have more "exclusive" routes with feeders done by LH Group, including SN. SN and KF could be co-existing on some routes without the sa...

They are not gone yet. They want to stick to cargo and ACMI.
Which was to be expected...

For how long is another question.

The point is: "Why does Lufthansa feel the need to operate under three different brands (or even 4 with CityLine), each one with its own AOC, when SN is happy with one single brand and AOC?" Wouldn't SN do the same if it had the same size as Lufthansa? I bet they would. But, with 40 AC in...

For me, the three-brand strategy remains difficult to understand, when Brussels Airlines, part of the very same Lufthansa Group, does all this with a single brand. This enables SN to use the same aircraft in the winter for business travellers and in the summer for holidaymakers. Lufthansa has plent...

New aircraft need less maintenance and use less fuel, which in turn improves the financial results. But you all know this. That's probably why there are still lots of "old" aircraft flying around the world in airlines making profit... ;) Your statement is a little bit too simplistic. Just...

I do remember once flying on a Thomas Cook Germany (now called Condor) aircraft coming from Stuttgart after the scheduled Thomas Cook Belgium A320 went AOG. I also regularly see exchanges of aircraft between TUIfly Belgium and TUIfly Netherlands in case of problems. Why can't such operations take p...

What an incredible situation. That raises two questions on my side: Why be part of a large group like Lufthansa if the Group is unable to help in case of difficulties? - When does SN help other airlines in the group? - How do other airlines from the group could help? Do they not need their own meta...
