in fact that's the OLD livery you show us, Binter recently modified their livery...

Is Binter still a regional subsidiary of IB (hence their name: IB inter), or what's the current share holder's structure?

Does Binter Baleares still exist too?

Connections on Pulkovo Aviation??? Now, I don't want to judge this Russian airline, but would it be wise for a full service airline like SN to offer connections on an airline like that? What I have never understood is why SN does not code share with AY on its routes to the Far East? I mean, any rout...

Why don't yuo donate them to UNICEF?

SN has a very laudable system where passengers can donate their privilege point to this highly respected UN organisation which will then use them to 'buy' tickets and cargo space on SN's panes to Africa.

Those A330s brake down not more than any other plane SN operates, but with only 3 of them flying in a very tight schedule (only 3 to 4 hrs at the base per 24 hrs), any minor techincal problem leads to a big mess in operations as there isn't a replacement plane available in case of serious delay like...

As you say yourself, C-class is pritty much finished in Europe anyhow within the next decade as more and more businesses change towards a policy of having their staff travel in Y-class only for flights up to 4 hrs or so, but I know the management of SN is still insisting on increasing their C-class ...

Good to see SN flirt with the 60% mark during the weakest month of the year, that gives a very promissing outlook for the rest of the year.
Maybe SN will finally have normal industry-wide loadfactors for their European flights this year.

well it does make a lot of sense, doesn't it? -) SN pulls a plane off this route for use on other more profitable routes (e.g. charters during the summer months). -) The daily capacity on the BRU-BCN route is reduced, so the loadfactor and thus ultimately also the average ticket price can go up agai...

SN to stop serving BCN on its own metal

In order to optimize our capacity in Europe, SN Brussels Airlines is planning a few alterations to its network. A first step in this direction has been taken by reviewing the operations to and from Barcelona. As from the summer season (starting on 27th March), SN Brussels Airlines will continue to o...

If you look closely you'll see ALL flights in that timetable have the DISC 2X/3 mark.

It simply indicates the HOURS printed in this timetable are no longer valid beyond the date mentioned, since we go back to daylight saving time on the 27th of March.

What FR does on their PIK-CRL route is quite frankly almost irrelevant for the SN's GLA-BRU route.
