Re: Brussels Airlines in 2018

It would be strange that SN's performance would be bad if we look at the numbers provided to us each month.

SN was month after month one of the best performers of the group yet the results would be bad???

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2018

Davignon says in an Article on vrt he is not worried about tomorrow “I have reasons to be unhappy, but not to be worried” Suppose we’ll see tomorrow... I guess due all commotion of the past days Lufthansa will just fire the CEO and CFO and that will be it. After the storm has passed they'll probabl...

Re: TUI fly Belgium in 2018

Strange registrations though, first they broke with the OO-Jxx registrations in favour of OO-Txx and now some random ones unless There's a Loe, a Lis and a Sro that will get a plane named after them? :mrgreen:

Thanks, @Bralo, you show more courage for research than I could muster on this "sunny sunday afternoon" :) OO-SRO rang a strong Sobelair bell in my dusty memory but I can really find no trace... Apparently OO-SRO was indeed used but I guess the digital records of FOD Mobiliteit aren't goi...

Re: TUI fly Belgium in 2018

@TLspotting: do not forget the Belgian CAA want to keep one and the same registration for one and the same aircraft. They have a limit, I think of 10 years, before an ex-OO plane can get a new/different OO-xxx. OO-LOE, OO-SRO were never used, OO-LIS was a Jodel D120 which was cancelled 36 years ago...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2018

OK I'm dreaming a bit now.... but Belgium should bring SABENA back this year and slowly start putting the airline back on track... so the country can have a National airline... Go talk to Al Bakker :) he has enough money and I don't think he's particularly friends with LH.... He just put money into...

One simple answer, it wasn't his idea, it wasn't part of his pet project... It's basically his way or the high way it seems.

Re: Air Belgium: a rebirth?

I give them max 12 months before they go bankrupt. You're optimistic :mrgreen: , I still don't see them start, especially after the stunt they pulled of yesterday to put the Belgian CAA under pressure, knowing how things work it can backfire. IMHO the stupidest thing they could do. But we'll see, i...

Re: Trivia 2018 (miscellaneous news)

They looked at SN and thought, hey that blue tail is nice, let's adopt it but for our brand but leave behind the two tone fuselage, that's to expensive, it has to be cheaper :mrgreen:

Re: Air Belgium: a rebirth?

Hmm, According to VRT they don't have their AOC but they hope to receive it... So today's presser is just to put pressure :mrgreen: on the CAA... I'll guess we'll see where that's going in the next couple of weeks or months :-) Luckily they have lots of Chinese money to burn, 2 years and 50 staff on...

Re: Air Belgium: a rebirth?

I stand corrected! Any news on their AOC? Cheers, Stij If they make such announcement than they'll most likely have their AOC in hand, no startup airline would be so foolish to have a press conference to announce such things without an AOC in their pocket. Unless it's to put pressure on the Belgian...
