Re: Brussels Airlines in 2023
Thus it's quite hard for Brussels Airlines to built a big hub. It's not 'hard' for Brussels Airlines. They are not even trying . And with 'they' I mean SN and above all its owner LH. LH wants to keep BRU and SN small by sucking all long-haul traffic out of BRU to their hubs FRA and MUC. Today alone...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2023
I place it here as there is no dedicated topic for it. Mostly we compare BRU with other airports like VIE or some in Scandinavia, but we have to start to compare it also with WAW in Poland. Just to compare how hard WAW is growing: BRU had in 2019 >26 million pax, WAW had >18 million pax. Difference...

Re: RwandAir & Rwandan Aviation News 2023
Big upgrade on the Kigali Nairobi routewith Kenya Airways today. 3 flights per day but the afternoon flight operated by B787-8 :shock:. It never flies to East Africa (only training flights during the first deliveries in 2014), only to Johannesburg, Port Louis, Cape Town and Lagos in Africa. There wa...

Re: Air Transport in Africa Outlook
Malawi Airlines has taken delivery of a B737-700 ex Asky. Which marks the return of the 737-700 to the fleet. The company still has Nampula, Kigali in its sights. It has just announced flights to Entebbe (Uganda). In my opinion there is a strong chance that it will be a double touch with Kigali. Wit...

Re: RwandAir & Rwandan Aviation News 2023
I made a mistake it's not 6 th B737-800, but the 5 B737-800 pax plus one B737-800F. Thus 6 B737NG (1 700 and 5 800) + 1 B737-800F
