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

American Airlines will receive in 2023 the new A321XLR. They will fly from several American cities such as Philadelphia, Boston, Charlotte and Chicago to thinner secondary European airports. Important in here is that they look again at Brussels Airport to launch such flight. Fingers crossed Would A...

Re: Air Belgium in 2021

Yes indeed French and English is the most used languages in CRL are you surprised, was you maybe expecting that everyone speak Polish maybe? By the way have a try to speak French in our dear National Airport you would be surprised how people react to you. And can we speak about Antwerp Aerodrome? D...

Re: Air Belgium in 2021

If you go 'behind the scenes' a vast majority of staff is french speaking. Really? To settle the issue, some official figures: The airport employs workers from all provinces of the country, the centre of gravity being in the provinces of Flemish Brabant (40%) and Antwerp (17%), followed by the Brus...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2021

To be honest, I don't see Brussels Airlines changing now their identity, by wasting a huge amount of money repainting the fleet while 2 years ago, they didn't want to make a complete painting on some of the a330's to spare some Euro's. You work for SN, don't you? Any rumours from the workfloor? ;)

Re: Air Belgium in 2021

BRU is far from that and in a bigger scope a regional airport on itself, compared to other major airports. Now many airlines have BRU bound or originating pax transferred to major hub airports. They'd rather serve the Brussels and Belgian market directly from BRU i.s.o. CRL. Which has nothing to do...

Re: Air Belgium in 2021

usually less crowded regional airports are getting ready to cope with more long-haul traffic, thereby alleviating the bigger airports. Isn't that more so to regional airports which serve a city with a major airport that is near full capacity? BRU is far from that and in a bigger scope a regional ai...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2021

I think that SN is ripe for a sale and that this is what LH will try to do. The crisis is far from over and airlines are getting in deeper and deeper troubles. Suffices to see the SN fares for the coming weeks to see that they' re desperate to sell seats at any price. Summer is over and the appetit...

Would it still be a succes if the annual subisides / market distortion wouldn't be there?

Probably not (?) but given the objectives set it has proven a succes.

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2021

Imho AMS isn't necessarily a higher yield market than Brussels. It's higher profile comes mainly from KL's vast network and the cooperation coming from it. KL/DL have quite a unique thing going on at AMS. BRU's handicap is SN's weakness since it's formation, in a time when aviation in Europe changed...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2021

Well, is Brussels a real network airline? The local market context is dominated by LCC airlines flying from CRL with pressure on yields and communicated basic prices for the booking masks. The long haul itself serves price sensitive markets in emerging economies. The DNA of the company is - speakin...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2021

But if the situation is that bad and management has been repeatedly warned about it, the last resort is to go on strike, maybe for some selected flights as a starter/last warning. A strike in such an environment would be plain stupid. I hope they realize that. I couldn't agree more. I was just reac...

Re: Belgian Red Devils no longer fly on their iconic Brussels Airlines "Trident" aircraft

Brussels Airlines offered to fly with a dedicated A330 with full flat bed in business class, while the the 30 years old 737-300 from klasjet, does not offer that. Confort he said? Apparently it has more to do with CRL, which offered them a sweet deal. Bus on the tarmac, directly to their plane, no ...
