Indeed, it's now confiremed that the BLR flight is going to be just a feeder flight for the 3 NA routes 9W has out of BRU just as I thought; its different style of flight number pretty much gave it away. Now, what's interesting to know if whether 9W will have to increase capacity on the existing 3 ...

A feeder flight?? No way, 9W has an excellent domestic timetable were people can took a plane at BLR to MAA or DEL for a flight via BRU to NA. Yes, but with a terminator flight to BRU pax from that airport can do it in only one transfer in stead of two and from what I've heard transferring is horri...

On Monday, july 28 I left from Brussels to Tokyo. The first leg of my flight was with Austrian to Vienna. Boarding was at gate A45 at 10.10 Because boarding didn’t start on time I decided to go to the ladies “restroom” next to gate 45 at around 10.15. All of the toilets were incredibly dirty (I won...

When flying is only for the upper class again?

Would a third handler really be THE solution ?? If they start, they will be working under the same conditions (partair comitee) and thus minimum pays will be mandatory. So, where will the difference be ?? Minimum pays, yes, maximum pays, no. By making working and salary conditions better this BAC d...

What solution? However many the operators, they'll all be operating under the same rules - that's what free enterprise is about. So all operators will be underpaying and overstressing their staff alike. No frigging use to add more. Then it's time to change the rules and guarantee better work and sa...

It's now official: Brussels Airport received a warning of some airlines. They will not allow such actions of the handling agents. They will leave the airport with the next big general strike. Which airlines? And if that is not enough, Aviapartner will strike again (the apply is sended) when the man...

Not really. Chennai will be five weekly, A330. New York JFK will be daily, 77W. Delhi will go to 77W, and be increased from 5 weekly to daily. So routings will become: Chennai - BRU - Toronto, A330, 5 weekly, and Delhi - BRU - JFK, 77W, daily. And BOM-BRU-EWR will remain a daily 77W? Why flying to ...

Builing a new concourse, only for 9W would not be very smart, because the biggest number of gates will be unused true out the rest of the day. Unless SN will be able to use the same terminal, because of their alliance with 9W. Building a new international terminal for all flights (and particulary fo...

While all these "terminal-rumours" are very interesting, think about all the money and time it would take to renovate (C-pier) or build a new terminal, or even "just" a new pier. Just look at pier A at BRU, new terminals at CRL en LGG. It's not that easy to build new facilities....

I heard another version from several people last week. B-concourse would become Jet Airways Terminal. New C-concourse would be built for all other non-A- and non-B-concourse traffic. Though I find this a bit strange, I could see a full-widebody B-concourse and non-widebody C-concourse. It would be ...

Could this also mean that they consider to move the LHR flights to Brussels Airport? I heard this rumour two months ago, but it's not 100% reliable. But it is a possibility, even more so if 9W wil get it's own concourse at BRU (and some financial advantages) and since London is only a leap away fro...

I think thats the question everyone is posing himself, rumour has it that Jet Airways will finance their own Jet terminal (the old C) but yeah.. rumour rumour rumour! There will never be enough space at the C-concourse. It is only fitted to serve low cost carriers with busses and some planes connec...

On the radio news they pronounced that 9W will expand its activity at BRU from 21 tot 56 weekly flights by the end of 2008. 112 extra widebodys at BRU each week, working there is getting interesting again (only in the morning that is). But it will cause some troubles at BRU. Where are they going to ...

Which customers do you think will fly the 787 to Brussels? My hope is that one day I will see a Conti 789 standing at B40.

I don't know as much of aviation as the majority of this forum does, but I trust Boeing in doing the right things and not putting their customers in jeopardy? After all, if a 787 crashes and it is proven that is was unsafe and Boeing knew about it, it would mean the end of the company..

:arrow: They feel the market pressure which might make it necessary to turn bru.air into a real LCC to compete with FR, EZY, AB and the many others, as they certainly cannot compete with the ones like LH, AF, BA etcetera (not even Alitalia, Iberia, Swissair or Austrian are or were able to compete w...
