'Honorary doctorate' should be an acceptable equivalent ;)

:o I'm not quite sure but that might have been the time when SN gradually stopped the combi operations ? :?

Re: Flyertalk reports NRT-BRU starting in 2011 ?

Correct BrightCedars ! The former code share SN/NH was from 1990 until summer 1994 by SN's 747-300 Combi (40% of cargo and passengers capacity for ANA and 60% for Sabena). I still remember there was a stop at SVO on the inbound flight from NRT the first years. I guess this time the flights will oper...

Re: China Airlines Jet Explodes Upon Landing in Okinawa

Naha jet fire laid to faulty maintenance In a report released Friday, the Japan Transport Safety Board concluded the explosion was caused by a maintenance error that caused a bolt to fall off the aircraft's main wing and pierce a fuel tank, causing fuel to gush through the hole and catch fire. It al...

Re: The future of Brussels Airlines with Lufthansa

I don't see it start as a daily straight away though. 3-4 weekly seems to be enough for a start, gradually getting to the business friendly daily frequency over time. On the other hand the 'Japanese market' is much more than just NRT and HND. Especially OSA (even Sabena used to have an office in to...

Might be a reason although SN becoming full member of *A will be a more significant step.

Re: The future of Brussels Airlines with Lufthansa

Japan probably needs to be reconnected to BRU but it is a difficult route because you cannot rely on a hub and spoke model, connections are very marginal. Best would be a 787 service by NH together with SN, geared toward point-to-point travel and broken even thanks to some connecting and some touri...

Re: The future of Brussels Airlines with Lufthansa

Does someone know if SQ closed or moved their downtown office, I don't think I see the SQ bird sign anymore. I just did a search on SQ website for their offices - when I select Brussels from the dropdown box it gives me the address of the SQ office at Schiphol ! So unless it is a glitch on their we...

Re: The future of Brussels Airlines with Lufthansa

Ever since LH announced they were interested in taking over SN, people have been daydreaming about SN starting to serve the 5 continents again (Oh, let's go to back to SIN, BKK, HKG and PVG.... all cities with millions of inhabitants!), with LH feeding their BRU hub, but this is a foolish idea for ...
