Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal

What about opening more routes to the middle east? Amman (ryanair stopped flights there) , Beirut (huge crisis but also huge diaspora) Riyadh (KSA is opening up for tourists, I don't know if there s any business potential). Are they increasing flights to Tel Aviv now that El AL is dropping out? Also...

Re: Air Belgium in 2022

In the past, they had commercials on the street billboards all over Brussels (I don't know in Flanders). But I agree that they should try to be in the flemish/Dutch newspapers more, especially when opening a new route, an article about it would be nice and doesn't even cost money. Also, the federal ...

<r>I asked SN a while ago and they said this winter there wouldn't be any new destinations.<br/> Accoring to Bruzz and the Brussels Times, SN sees business travelers coming back. <br/> <URL url="https://www.bruzz.be/mobiliteit/brussels-airlines-ziet-zakenreizen-hernemen-2022-09-28"><LINK_TEXT text="...

Re: Air Belgium in 2022

Nice to read on Aviation24 that Air Belgium will have a partnership with Air Link to many destinations in Southern Africa, like Namibia and Madagascar. They only have 2 destinations in common with SN, Entebbe and Luanda, so I think it's a nice gap that they are trying to fill. I hope for them these ...

It seems like Pisa and Amman will be discontinued.
Could SN take over Amman? Any thoughts?

Re: Air Belgium in 2022

It's nice to read that Air Belgium is getting more planes and more destinations, but I'm wondering... isn't this going to quickly? They also have boeing and airbus now. Is this a good idea to combine both? Adding new pax destinations, but are there enough people to fill those flights? They don't hav...

I suppose there will be a Lufthansa flight departing Munich early morning and arriving in Brussels so passengers can transit on SN flights to US and Africa? edit: crew1990 just answered my question! Btw, SN also flying to Rabat (first time ever?) and other destinations in Morocco (Marrakech, Tanger ...

Re: BRU Summer 2022: news, new routes, airlines

SN is adding Munich to the network.
Morning flight from March onwards.
Evening flight from May onwards.

Just like they do the Frankfurt route.

Re: SWISS in 2021

Both are sisters of Lufthansa Group, hence it's not competition. More than that, it’s probably a cost saving measure with Swiss operating the first flight from Geneva and the last one from Brussels to avoid two SN crews night stopping in Gva. A further cost-saving measure would then be to have SN o...

Re: booked a flight, not sure if I will arrive back home

Thank you for your answers. I booked it as 1 booking on kiwi.com. As a return trip brussels - amman and amman - charleroi with a transfer in Bologna. The transfer was 'kiwi guaranteed', because the airlibe (ryanair) doesn't offer the transfer. But apparantly, the kiwi guarantee is only when you woul...

booked a flight, not sure if I will arrive back home

So, me and some colleagues had the idea of going to Jordan from 31 Oct to 6 Nov 2021. We checked skyscanner and found an affordable price on KIWI.com. We would fly ryanair directly from Brussels to Amman and on the way back ryanair from Amman to Bologna and then a small layover to go Bologna to Char...
