Absolutely correct, last week I flew with Brussels Airlines: no APU during boarding and packs off so no air conditioning for take off.
It looks like airlines don’t care about their passengers health.

At present capital markets are locked for airlines, so public funds are the only funds available to them; if the corona pandemic gets wiped out, that will not be the case in 2 or 3 years. The capital markets have been locked for SN for many years, did you forget how Luftie had to provide a 100 mill...

A refund with tax money is quite ironic seeing that we've all collectively paid for it :roll: Mr Decroo was quite clear in parliament: SN was in negative equity, in other words: virtually bankrupt. It’s the refusal to refund bookings which kept them alive till today and as such it’s only normal tha...

SN never realy got a fair chance fighting for its reason to excist. Now you might claim other airlines were hit by the same crises as SN (apart from the 2016 attacks) but overall most other airlines got the time and opportunity to grow or get stable at times when SN was struggling from Sabena's ban...

However, there is also talks to get loans with state support, all these loans will have to be repaid in due time. In order to pay back the loans, it is crucial that the company still exists in a few years and that it is profitable, hence the important of the restructuring plan. For almost 20 years ...

National carrier–Kenya Airways is sending home 182 pilots with more than 400 cabin crew

Not sure if the pilot’s partners will be happy with all these cabin crew in their homes!

Sorry to burst your bubble and your convenient calculations, but the block time of BRU-MRU is 11h50 and check-in times for a long haul flight are traditionally at least 60 minutes. That makes a rest time of at least 12h50 which start 30 minutes after arrival and would make it impossible to operate ...

, rest time will not be less than the longer of the previous flight duty time or twelve hours. As such, it would never be feasible for the outbound crew to fly straight back with this schedule, even taking 'minimum rest' into account. The 12 hours is at home base, it becomes 10 hours away from base...

For some people, flights are vital... Because they work in different places, have family living abroad, have specific medical appointments,... Reasons to reintroduce a basic aerial connectivity are numerous, and not just to support airlines. Absolutely correct, BUT apply social distancing on board ...

I read an article about one example in a plane where they had the proof that one person can contaminate about 30 other person. Indeed, here is the article from the New England journal of medicine, 1 person infected 22 others , seated in his vicinity, during a 3 hour flight: https://www.nejm.org/doi...

In a plane, air is renewed every 3 minutes and goes through HEPA filters eliminating 99.99% of the viruses and bacteria. In a theater, ... ? Infection takes place before the air is filtered! If you sit in the vicinity of a contagious person you will breath in part of his exhale before it reaches th...

While at least 2,500 jobs will be lost at Brussels Airport, Flemish minister of mobility Lydia Peeters promotes private jet travel for the elite. And who wil fly, handle, cater, clean,.. these private jets??? Aren’t that jobs? :roll: We should embrace every initiative no matter how small or exclusi...

Well Aegean is offering pre-packed snacks. And in an article in the exyu-aviation forum someone flew Swiss and got the small sandwich so I do think BOB should be possible, also LH will start again a meal service for business class passengers. Wizzair never stopped either its BOB, I don't see why SN...

Aviation is going through the biggest crisis in its existence, the majority of airlines are wobbling, crew are facing redundancies and huge salary cuts, do you really think anyone cares about BOB?

Only if they work here and are residents in Greece (or the opposite). No VFR nor tourism, all arrivals in BRU are terminal B and if you don’t have a valid reason you’ll be denied entrance.

Yes it is and that's why it is so confusing for airlines if they can or not, bcs Europe is completely not clear in this. Borders are still closed if you want to come with a car but more or less 14 airlines are still flying on BRU. So try to understand this mess which Europe is creating You can cros...

I'm quite surprised to read that cabin crew could get 2800 netto per month with mid-experience... Civil engineers get less than that when they start as juniors in large companies. Up to half of this are allowances, ie when away from Brussels crew get bed and breakfast paid by the company and an all...

Not exactly blacklisted, Cyprus will allow visitors from 19 countries. Belgium is not amongst these countries, that’s all, no need for further drama.

If SN remains in the LH Group, LH could accept the EU Commission's and transfer some flights operating from/to FRA/MUC to SN and OS :) (I'm already expecting someone to stay that this is too simplistic). Let's say that the advantage of this big companies are that they have big hubs and a lot of con...
