Re: Brussels Airlines in 2024

I quite often suprised to see so many critics about Brussels Airlines. I don't think that there are so many critics in Finland about Finnair, in Ireland about Aer Lingus or in Portugal about TAP Air Portugal. In 2000s, Finnair, Aer Lingus and TAP Air Portugal struggled and closed many routes. They ...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2024

Which competitors? Low-cost airlines? Pinky-swear you won't complain about the inevitable decline in service if Brussels goes full low-cost? This for a business route so essential that Spain's full-service carrier has a grand total of 0 non-stop flight and hands over the market to its low-cost subs...

Re:

Regarding the wifi, there is currently no provider that can offer reliable service above mid and west Africa. Since this is where the majority of SN longhaul is, it's been decided to focus on other topics for now. There is no point in investing a lot of money in infrastructure and only use it 30% o...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2024

About the wi-fi discussion it is important especially on long haul knowing that they are also day flights I find that it's missing very hard and it is really not a luxury anymore! From Luanda it's only Brussel Airlines and RAM flying without WiFi. The reasonable question is : what is the economical...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2024

You know the crew are overnighting in “tents” in a National Park lodge close to Ndjili. Why are they not in a hotel? Might not have looked in the right places but I couldn't find out.

EASA is a guiding line That's why I asked what BRU airport is using. EASA, the European Aviation Safety Agency is probably not reliable for Belgian politics ;) DL is still flying with the B767 bcs they don't have enough new planes to use them to BRU as for them is not a main destination which AMS a...
