The Minister of Transport, the Sea and the Merchant Navy, Dieudonné Loïc Ndinga Moudouma, revealed, during his appearance on Sunday February 25, 2024 on the program Les Grands Dossiers, the name of t...

Ethiopian orders 8 B777x (alongside of its B777x F order). This is version 777-9. With the A350-1000 order, it is clear that the airline will replace its fleet of B777s (200LR and 300ER) https://bnnbreaking.com/transportation/ethiopian-airlines-bolsters-fleet-with-boeing-777-9-purchase-first-in-africa

I know i m focus on Kigali, but you forgot to say that SN will serve Kigali everyday for its first time in its history (even Sabena didn't do that)

RwandAir announces the (probably definitely) suspension of its route to Mumbai, from 15 March 2024. It's not really a surprise. Capacity was much lower than before covid. A330 flights 4 times a week with continuation to Guangzhou and with the 5th freedom roghts between BOM and CAN. In 2024, 2 flight...

They changed a lot, like in... renewing its fleet? Like in ... re-registering all aircraft from OO- to OE- (except the old 737-400 OO-TNN and OO-TNP, the bare minimum to keep "Belgium" in their name). I think ASL Belgium are not the most to complain in the group. ASL France has really cha...

In 2024, Passengers Traffic in Africa should reach 242 million passengers in 2024 (106% of 2019 :shock: ). But how many pax for Africans Airlines ? ACI World Forecasts Passenger Traffic in Africa to Reach 261 Million in 2025 https://aviationbusinessjournal.aero/headlines/aci-world-forecasts-passenge...

Agree with Lux Avi. I think that if SN was with IAG or AF KLM the situation would be probably the same that with Lufthansa : the market demand They are not even great synergies between SN and Turkish Airlines / Egytpair / Ethiopian Airlines to and from Africa while they are in the same alliance (i d...

And we talk about Cityjet CRJ1000 jets. Not A320. The strategy is all A320. CRJ May have been a feeling consideration and didn't worked out. Or, they can earn in wetlease more being located in MUC - the 380 are back and need to be filled. From a group prospective it may be the better economical dec...

Interesting article on Luchtvaartnieuws today. SN would like to receive more A320neo's in the future. They are also looking for the replacement of the A330. The A330neo and B787-9 are in the picture. The A330neo is however not in the current LH group fleet. More chance for the B787-9 I think I woul...

Hi.

There are currently 2 Belgian Air Force A400Ms in DR Congo. One is leaving Kindu and another one is arriving at Kinshasa.

Once again Africa is on Air Asia X radar (after a first attempt in Mauritius ) Cairo, Mahe, Nairobi and Cape Town https://newsroom.aviator.aero/airasia-reveals-plan-to-become-the-worlds-first-low-cost-network-carrier-during-airbus-leadership-visit/ Over 14 years ago Air Asia X was already looking to...

About KLM and RwandAir and rumors of partnerships with AF KLM that I mentioned a few days ago, KLM has added Kamembe (Rwanda) to its reservation system. You can fly on RwandAir with KLM. But nothing on the Air France website A diplomatic alliance that I didn't see coming: Rwanda and Jordan. In a few...

Pretty hard to compare with Asians Airports. Many of them are "brand news". An airport built in 1960s has not the same design that an airport built in 90s, in 2000s or in 2010s**, which is young for an airport. ** Hong Kong Chep Lap Kok, Seoul Icheon, Dubai Al Maktoum, Doha Hamad Airport, ...

An interesting podcast about African Aviation (I already talked about it). But this number seems particularly interesting. On one side we have South African companies which are taking advantage of the decline of South African Airways to continue to grow in Southern Africa. Qatar Airways which is sha...

BRU is a disgrace. One of the worst airports in Europe. Only the Connector and Pier A look more or less up to date. Rest is Sub standard. Ugly. Obsolete.Dirty. Worst ? Over 25 000 reviews on Google. Not 1 or 10 reviews but over 25 000. Average : 4/5 :roll:. I think enough to have real opinions abt ...

A real “base” (even if it’s not one...

Qatar Airways Cargo appears to have suspended all flights to Kigali. The flights no longer appear on FlightRadar and on the airline website. The Qatar Airways Cargo hub in Kigali will not last long or probably temporarily suspended. On Airliners net, someone claims that there are rumors of discussio...

A destination we don’t talk too much on this forum is perhaps Helsinki. What could be the reason SN is not flying to this European capital city? I know it’s not a star airport but traffic, yields and transfer possibilities are not high enough to fly Helsinki for SN? Sometimes hard to understand to ...
