Re: LH and SN: No deal...
I think there is something bias in this game and I don't like it. I share your thoughts BrightCedars ! In my opinion the official reasons as mentioned in the EU press release just hide something more fundamental : some EU members (especially France and U.K) want to stop the Germans getting too powe...

Re: Any news about the expansion plans of Brussels Airport?
This should be enough food for a discussion ;) HighInTheSky, you might soon be crowned 'The Luchtzak discussion launcher of 2009' ! :P And finally, now that SN will join Star A. they are speaking of a dedicated terminal. Will that be the A terminal? I wonder who will use that terminal besides SN an...

Re: Brussels Airlines in the eye of the crisis
SN has just announced it expects to start code-sharing with LH and several key STAR alliance airlines as from next summer season (so even before they join STAR). As I couldn't find that announcement in the press room of the Brussels Airlines website, could you please post the appropriate link ? I g...

Re: Sabena or not...

But I wonder, did the name 'Brussels Airlines' attract more passengers than 'SN Brussels Airlines' ? Surely not. The name difference is too slight. However the name 'Brussels Airlines' is lin...

I agree with the majority of postings in this topic : 'SABENA' should come back, and as soon as possible . Now that SN is preparing for the *A membership it might be the last good chance to get rid of the ‘Virgin low cost profile’ on all levels, including the actual ‘pizza boy livery’ of its aircraf...

and HKG (a destination SN will probably offer themselves since it was one of the few money making routes for Sabena). To my knowledge Sabena never had regular flights to HKG, except a temporary cargo codeshare with Air Hong Kong already many years ago. Moreover LH didn't commit themselves (yet) to ...

What do they need to do practically? I know it will be a long list, but just some highlights?
