Have a flight with SN to BRU tomorrow, cancelled for obvious reasons. No message at all from SN though. Call center unreachable, no changes possible online. Last update on website regarding flights dated from yesterday (except note about bags updated early today) At airport desk: No rerouting availa...

EasyJet will transfer BRU flights to LIL from tomorrow onwards.
Same schedule, on arrival free transfer organised to BRU. On departure make own way to LIL, but cost reimbursed by easyJet.

Everybody knows SN has a great product on longhaul flights (maybe getting even better if the rumors about the economy plus or premium economy would become true), but SN should realise that using old and apparently not always reliable planes will make customers chose for other companies. Is it reall...

The post from Passenger seems to point towards a low level wind shear . Quite challenging if encountered at the wrong moment during approach/ go around.

After yesterday's article, De Tijd has another in depth article on Brussels Airlines' results; I don't seem to find a link to it on their site, so let's just summarize some interesting pieces of information from it: 1- it seems they not only let their employees share in their profit, but they have ...

12*3600/1852= 23kts
19mps=37kts.
(There was a time pilots were supposed to know that 1mps=2kts)

I hope number 10 will mainly be used as a backup. SN has a nice, very nice even in bizz, long haul product, but all too often the experience is spoiled by AOGs and no backup. The old 330s are often MTOW limited and the growth has reached it limit, more pax will result in less cargo. Any increase in ...

He is a professional pilot and flew 757s for Astraeus.

If you buy a 39€ Ticket you will earn 30 loops at best. The value of 30 loops is 0,30€. So you will need at least 130 flights to have a free 39€ ticket, if taxes are the same for free flights, which is not the case for M&M. On M&M tickets taxes are around 100€ for a short haul flight. You ca...

Does anybody know if you earn loops on these one way tickets too? Yes, Loops can be collected on these flights as well. Irrelevant isn't it? Basic fare will be 1 or 5€ plus taxes and fuel surcharge (pun intended), so you will earn 3 to 15 loops. You will need 200 flights before having a free one an...

My gosh does it really matter? It's just again a politician wanting to cause a stir . As far as I'm concerned the Belgian flag still prides on the planes and everyone speaks 3 or more languages which of course include French AND Dutch ;) Exactly! The only reason why the majority of cabin crew is Fl...

yesterday: ... according to the law ALL aircrew pay social security in the country where they are based... today: With the high turn over at FR and also the fact that any small change to a contract makes that the NEW rules are in force my ducated guess is that 5% of the crew is still on "old c...

All NEW based crew do that indeed. But crew that got based before the regulations changed are still payed 'abroad'. As Ryanair has a lot of bases this will give them a huge advantage for as long as those old contracts are allowed. You seem to forget that for 10 years SN has been exempted from payin...

I think that is an excellent result... This year profits will be larger..

This means that without historic low oil prices and a soft winter the result would have been dark red.
Worrying to say the least!

EW is about one thing only: cost reduction. When Lufty takes over Belgian management will be axed, you can see Mr Sciot is worried about his own job. The Germans know there are not many jobs on the Belgian market, so they will offer the same jobs at lower T and Cs at Eurowings. As Flanker says, any ...

I dont, because I am not running this airlines, but I see your point, although I think its wrong. Last time they claimed about 100 direct jobs for a single intercontinental route!. Don't be to sure about that. LH is already sending German pilots to fill SN seats. A logical descision, as they have a...

The lower fuel price is only 5% of the 1 billion EUR profit (projected). But it could have been much more! MOL himself told at the latest Brussels press conference that the price at which fuel was hedged has been significantly above the market price for the last two years and the current year, beca...

Impressive figures!! Ryanairs new strategy works.
The doomsayers on here are proven wrong once again.

No ANR qualified captain available!

It sounds like common sense actually. It's quite rare these days for an airline to still own ALL of their planes - which they did - so it's much more in line with how other airlines operate. In a way, it would be foolish not to. Not really. 25-28 year old F50's are not worth that much. They were pa...
