I guess the best advice is wait and see. SN cancels these flights as a precautionary measure because it doesn't know what will happen with TC itself.

Re: BRU Summer 2020: news, new routes, airlines
Air Senegal only has one A339 with a second one on order. I wonder how they will manage to fly to CDG, BRU and IAD if those two last destinations become reality?

Re: Social actions at air traffic control service skeyes (Belgium) - possible air traffic disruptions
Even if he doesn't know anyhting about what's going on there, that's still no excuse to blame the politicians for doing nothing. As a minister of Labour, his only legal options to try and resolve heavy conflicts between employees and employer is to appoint a social mediator.

Re: Planning of petition "retro livery"
My guess is that there will always be people who want to see the livery one last time and people who say that you should let go of the past. I'd say that you give it a try and see where you get. There is always a chance that someone at SN may say yes, let's do this.
