Knowing the lack of ambition from BRU, we can in the very best case only expect CX,TG to resume their plans to come(back) to BRU. AA has totally dropped BRU. UA is happy with a few destinations from BRU in USA and has more places to go from AMS to US. ANA perhaps a few flights more per week... And ...

That said, in 2025 or 2026, when US pre-clearance is open in BRU and 789s or 78Xs become available, opening MIA or IAH would make more sense than a double-daily to IAD, imo, one-stop service between BRU and Central/South America without the hassle of clearing US immigration at IAH or MIA, neither o...

And how would they accomplish that easily? Leisure travelers are first and foremost price sensitive. Business travelers focus on frequencies, preferably daily if not more often than that. So which segment can BRU compete against easily? O/D to overseas territories on which AF/KL now have a (near)mo...

What a lack of ambition from SN and/or LH. BRU and SN could easily take away market-share and PAX from AMS and CDG. And how would they accomplish that easily? Leisure travelers are first and foremost price sensitive. Business travelers focus on frequencies, preferably daily if not more often than t...

Maybe off topic; but can we please stop the constant bashing on SN ? Not only off topic but also not relevant and repetitive, this is a forum not a fanclub! People are free to give their opinion, that’s what forums are for, as long as it’s done politely. When people make wrong comparisons, just poi...

The so-called savoir-faire for African destinations is actually a poor and risky niche business. It's the bread and butter of SN. One African country after the other falls in hands of Russia and its Wagner mercenaries. Always blowing things out of proportion :roll: Four countries... Of which only o...

I would say 50 / 50. Both have premium eco. I know SkyTraxx has not good reputation among Avgeeks (but not outside Avgeeks community), but both airlines are 3 stars SkyTrax and RwandAir is ranked 90th and Brussels Airlines 100th, in the 2023 SkyTrax Ranking. https://www.worldairlineawards.com/world...

Planning a holiday at my wife's motherland Rwanda next summer. Rwandair 3800 euro r/t for 3 adults (13yo son included) and 1 child. SN 5000 euro :shock: These are of course 'direct' flights in the sense of not having to transfer. Other options (TK, ET,...) have unfavourable arrival hours (passed mid...

Congo Airways temporarily suspends flights from 11sept2023. The airline hasn't aircraft to fly. They are grounded due tech issues https://taarifa.rw/congo-airways-suspends-domestic-flights-over-safety-issues/ Remains only CAA to operate domestic flights, but the airline is also struggling. They hav...

According to: https://sites.google.com/view/europeanairlinefleets/bel an 11th A330 could come even earlier than foreseen... Rumour say that OO-SFL; OO-SFK; OO-SFP could rejoin the SN fleet. Could be actually logical since they were already register in the past in Belgium so it could be administrati...

In Autumn, the construction of a new parking tower at the airport is going to start, it will be located across the road from the kiss and ride zone, I don't know if it will be for pax or just for staff. Nothing heard or seen about it, but it could make sense to combine a few staff parking's on one ...

On the long term 787, A350 and A330neo are considered. But on short mid term, as long as there iare A330 available within the group, there is no need to go for another aircraft type. Lufthansa is geting rid of their A330, it I'm pretty sure they will go to SN and EW Second-hand aircraft for second ...

We close our first semester of 2023 at -12 million euro, an improvement of 87% compared to the previous year. The first quarter ends up at -44 million euro - in line with expectations and seasonality of the aviation business - and the second quarter closes at 31 million euro Adjusted EBIT. The more...

You need an A321LR for long haul, with it’s 170-ish seats a guaranteed loss making aircraft on SN’s short-haul network.

Fair enough, just long haul then

Even if I could see an opportunity as well, I do not think this is the right moment as SN is busy with a rollover in the fleet, getting rid of the A319 in favour of A320neo. A319 require 3 CCM (2 CCM and 1 purser) while A320neo's requires 4 (3+1). This is quite a big expansion in term of workforce ...

Since the primary objective of "my" suggested train is to connect the three Dutch major cities with Brussels Airport, let Brussels Airport be the terminal station, if it is technically possible. Schiphol and Antwerp could be skipped too, to make it even faster, but which public or private...

Please, forgive my ignorance. Which is best ? Vision 2040 or Shift2027 ? It's not what will be the best of the 2. It's about what is important now and in the very near future. Nobody could predict the attacks, COVID and the energy crisis. They all changed the landscape and the needs. Look at AMS in...

Now there is Shift2027

I wasn't refering to Vision 2040.
