Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal

Hi all, Just a question. Would you see SN having a A321 sub-fleet? I see it useful for destinations such as Tel Aviv, Madrid, Malaga, Athens ... I think on some of these routes frequency is less important or would bring too much capacity, or a combination might be more logic Also Tenerife, Lisbon co...

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal

Next year, a 10th A330 and an additional A320 will be added to the SN fleet. Would the A320 be a NEO and replace yet another A319? Would also be interesting to see to which destination(s) the 10th A330 would go: additional flights to Montreal? New African destinations? More frequencies to existing ...

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal

All, Is it already known which A319 will be replaced by A320neo? I assume it will be A319 that will require soon 'heavy' maintenance and/or repainting, but not sure about that ... I also do not know whether there is a big capacity difference between the current A320 and the A320neo. Anyone insights ...

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal

Is that not what they already announced as part of their expansion in Europe this year (Summer 2023) which was 10% with x number of additional aircraft, etc.?
Cheers,

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2023

Will use the flight to IAD in June when going to Huntsville. Premium Economy

Curious to see which plane I will get Eurowings or any of the SN liveries. Service is the same, so no big deal ...

Cheers,

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2023

Hi all, Early March me and my colleague were travelling to JFK on SN metal to go to Saint Lucia (with jetBlue). Because the prices were quite low I booked the JFK tags in business and premium economy respectively. I upgraded the premium economy flight with M&M vouchers to business without proble...

Re: BRU Summer 2023: news, new routes, airlines

Hi all, I lost a bit the overview, so put it together for myself, but please correct or add details if you have it somewhere :D 1. More European flights or 'new' destinations/routes for Brussels, Transavia, Corendon, Easyjet, Vueling, Eurowings (Stuttgart?) ... (confirmed) - Not so clear for TUI - W...

Maintenance (types &) duration

Dear all, I follow-up the use, maintenance and painting of the SN fleet. See https://sites.google.com/view/europeanairlinefleets/bel . Quite interesting but I have some questions. OO-SFH seems to be in Amman for a very long time now. I know there are different types of maintenance: A, B ... D ... (?...

1000th flight

Hi all, This Sunday I will have my 1000th flight :D . It is an outbound flight to Bilbao with Brussels. After my return from Bilbao, only one trip to go in 2022, to Chisinau (4 flights: BRU-VIE-KIV-VIE-BRU). I intend to generate a map of all flights when I will retire (but still 4 years to work ;) )...

Re: Air Belgium in 2022

Hi Passenger, Not sure this type of math's makes a lot of sense ;) I would rather say: -47 + -40 million = -87 million. So overall an increase of the losses, certainly not a 'profit'. Especially because it is a very small airline, these are very negative numbers ... You can only say an improvement o...

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal

You can best follow this here: https://sites.google.com/view/europeanairlinefleets/bel Currently 11 are painted in the new schema (7 A319, 3 A320 and 1 A330) - White with blue symbol for the plane I guess they do not repaint now, usually that is more done in the winter season for the obvious reason ...

Re: BRU Summer 2022: news, new routes, airlines

I guess this means SN will offer soon more frequencies? Or bigger equipment?

How many flights/week they have (LY)?

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2021

Hi all, To be honest, I also like it. I also think that it has not been a big cost, especially taking into account 1) they have to repaint all planes every x years anyway and 2) they will use less paint now, so cheaper ... Regarding the fact that it looks like another logo: well any new logo will re...

Re: BRU Summer 2022: news, new routes, airlines

This is a pity (not to fly BRU-Toronto) since I used the route several times to transfer to Saint Lucia. Toronto is still the major hub, not Montreal (where you will have at least two operators next year, maybe also SN).
