End of March, the Brussels Airlines flights that we booked got cancelled. I am now entering the booking reference and name but the computer says "no" booking available (we are unable to display your booking details). Any other suggestion besides hanging in their callcenter or via social me...

The difference between Alitalia and Brussels Air is that the Italian government will do everything to keep them alive. The Belgian government will not, like with Sabena in 2001.

Not again!

While at least 2,500 jobs will be lost at Brussels Airport, Flemish minister of mobility Lydia Peeters promotes private jet travel for the elite. https://www.aviation24.be/business-jet-operators/asl-group/asl-group-introduces-a-new-innovative-concept-asl-fly-executive-and-launches-scheduled-flights-...

Any progress in the negotations between the Belgian government and Lufthansa?

Sure, let’s hire those workers at less pay, work harder and already less favorable conditions than at Swissport. Everybody happy.

Swissport Belgium was in terrible shape long before the corona crisis. Airlines lowering costs all over the place, at the expense of employees. Working harder, less wage, more flexibility etc ... There should be a drastic change in how things work with a minimum price of airline tickets and handling...

Imho, CS's plan B (which could actually be his plan A) is to let go bust both LH ans SN (and OS ?) and replace LH's and SN's intra-European flights by EW. Now, what about the intercontinental flights ? New collective agreement, inferior remuneration and working conditions. I doubt trade unions woul...

Brussels Airlines's plan is to reduce the total amount of early morning arrivals into Brussels (the so-called nightstop-reduction), and to let its African fleet depart later. In my opinion, this is NEVER going to work. I remember that Brussels Airlines tried this in the past, e.g. very early outboun...

Luc Martin, représentant CNE chez Brussels Airlines confirme. "Les conditions sont pires que ce qu'on imaginait. C'est un véritable hold-up sur nos salaires.Ils sont tous revus à la baisse, au premier barème. Il y a une prime à la fin de l'année, mais elle est taxée davantage. Et de toute façon...

What about Africa and corona ?

Their health systems are terrible and Corona will loom a long time.

Good to fly ?

The employees that will stay on board will be offered a new collective labor agreement, less salary, more working and less rest between the duties. Still a lot of talking to be done between management and unions.

Rik Daems (VLD) let Sabena go bankrupt, histoire ce répète

Special conciliary meeting with unions tomorrow!!

So my suggestion to the Belgian government, is to try to look if LH can give hard guarantees for growth and investments in SN, and I don't mean something written on a restaurant napkin. More jobs, more aircraft, flights to Asia, major expansion in Africa, expansion to Latin America, etc... If they ...

If they write off there investment and leave Brussels Airlines no problem the state will nationalise the company and look for another partner. I'm sure it will be easy to find a new partner with a state guaranty of 290 million ( or a participation)and workers ready to sacrifice part of their salary...

Air France - KLM group receives stated aid for 12 billion, Brussels Airlines only asks 290 million. There is a rumour that about 20 years ago, the French government allegedly bought two business class seats on every Air France flight. To avoid a fine by the European Commission. When Sabena went bank...

Curious.

No news ?

Extreme agression on a SN flight: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8117055/Shocking-moment-aggressive-passenger-hits-female-flight-attendant-face-hit-him.html I am totally against this kind of agression, but fingerpointing towards a passenger like this does not solve the situation. She gave...

I think that - looking at the rapid spread of the virus - more governments will decide to lock down countries and that many more airlines will stop flying for the coming weeks.
