Hi OO-VEX,

Yes indeed, I took a printed timetable and there it is explicitly mentioned. I guess that they came to the conclusion that they can offer together more than separately (they probably have a strong competition from LCC in Charleroi) ...

Flybe, I agree with you ... Don't forget that SNBA has still some room for 'natural' expansion, it means that they receive more pax with the same offer ... See to their load factors, good but not enough. Expansion will come, but afterwards ... (step by step). At several occasions SNBA stated clearly...

Thanks for the info! @Koen: thanks for the MAN info, I checked MAN yesterday and did not find T4/OA codeshare flights. The competition seems to be very strong between ATH and BRU: with the dumping prices of the last months in mind, and with the fact that VEX will increase their frequency on this ro...

If it is true. It is not the first time information on BIAC's website is wrong ...

On the other hand, there is no problem in collaborating. On a thin route like Brussels-Malta and even more Brussels-Oviedo, operating separate lines would be suicide

My 10 cent ...

Nice to see that Malta will be an SN destination. But seeing the flight numbers I suppose that the flights won't be operated by SN planes, will they ? :cry: Greetz Chris Correct, it's KM and IB that do the flight. The IB flight from Oviedo is the new one for this winter schedule. I also tried to ch...

SNBA in codeshare to Malta and Oviedo?

Hi all, Was just looking at the BIAC website. It seems that after codesharing on the Brussels-Sofia route, SNBA will start code sharing on Brussels-Malta (KM) and Brussels-Oviedo (IB) route. 8O Can anyone confirm? SN5683 1..4.67 BRU-MLA (20.10-22.50) - A319 (except on Monday, 737) SN5682 1..4.67 MLA...

Congratulations from me too ...

This award is a very nice promotion for their product. I think that they should from time to time also repeat the type of promotion they did the last year (really funny ones ...)

Hi all, Never experienced the airliners in C-class mentioned in the poll. I only used KLM, SN, SNBA and Swissair in C-class. All of them had a semi-flat 'bed'. In SNBA or SN seats were reclining 155°. Is there a big difference with a 'real flat bed'? Is there a big price difference? I liked very muc...

If I understand well, the month of May will be a very good month although not all the figures are there yet: I see roughly 48.500 transfert pax (= 97.000 in total) I see roughly 660.800 departing pax ( so +/- 1.321.600 departing and arriving if we assume them being equal which is not the case I gues...

Where are BIAC's statistics?

Dear all,

I wander why BIAC does not publish anymore statistics on movements, pax and freight each month (not anymore since March). I only see an update graph on statistics, but no figures on their website. Anyone knows why or where I can find the figures?

Lucky you Danny.

Hi all, I think we should not only look at the Y/C ratio. SNBA is doing relatively well because 1) they have at least C pax, 2) they have a lot of 'normal' pax (not paying the cheapest, 3) they fill the rest of the plane with special (lower) fares. In addition, they are saving costs the whole time (...
