This time the eagle is ready to fly to his homebase. Hopefully it will not be the reverse of a saying of a steward some 20 years ago on an SN Avro RJ: "It looks like a chicken, but flies like an eagle". Well now that you say that, the new livery looks like chickenpox to me. ;) H.A.

To be complete I must add that, yesterday after posting, I booked a BRU-DSS-BRU early October and the selection of seat was indeed still free of charge.

H.A.

Just booked a BRU-MUC-BRU same day. No bag, so I took an Economy Light (Q). 283EUR + Taxes, fees, ... = 444 EUR. So be it. Select your seat : 20EUR, even for Senator/Gold. That's new for me. Anyone? SN web site : "On Brussels Airlines operated flights, HON Circle members and Senators have the p...

Now this is good news ! At the end of 2016 SN had only 9 aircraft for their long haul ops. When LH took 100% of the company it was clearly mentioned that SN was the Group champion on the African market and this enabled the fleet to grow up to 9 aircraft in 2023. This growth in the last 6 years, with...

Now they can ACMI for SN.... Why not, there is plenty of need if SN continues stubbornly to fly to destination where people are incompetent and the infrastructure is in disrepair according to some. So the "flag carrier" will be immediately identified in this priority market for the LH Gro...

OO-SFF stuck in Kinshasa, scheduled to fly back this evening. Correction, according to Brussels Airport OO-SFF is now due to return only tomorrow 17SEP in the morning. 20230916 OOSFF extended layover in FIH.png "One more plane less" ... Related or not, today SN255 (OUA-ABJ) is delayed fro...

Well, at least an additional plane will limit the risk of this : SN245 20230912.png SN245 that was due to fly SN245 to FNA today. The opposite in fact! An additional aircraft scheduled 6/7 will only increase the risk of a cancellation. If you want to increase resilience you need a spare aircraft no...

This puzzles me, why does Brussels Airlines have to fly with the oldest planes and another product?

Well, at least an additional plane will limit the risk of this :

.... SN flew to Mumbai (then called Bombay) in the seventies with B727s and B707s on the southern route to Manilla, Tokyo and some other Far East destinations; maybe also with DC-10 s. Affirm. I once flew back from Bangkok, then out of Don Mueang as it was around 87-88 in another century. The fligh...

Today, SN205 to DSS and CKY is cancelled.
OO-SFX planned for SN255 was replaced by OO-SFD to operate OUA-ABJ.

OO-SFE to fly SN379 to DLA-NSI this morning had the departure time postpone multiple times : STD 11:25 Yesterday at noon the flight was already delayed till 12:25. Then 13:40, then 14:30, then 15:45 when BRU web site indicated "Gate closed". At 18:44 status changed to Cancelled per Flights...

Just got the news from LBV.
Gabon airspace is open again and air traffic allowed back to FOOL.

Talking about top management,
How many A330 did SN have in 2013? Nine (9) if I'm not mistaken.
And TEN YEARS after in 2023? Nine (9).
SN is in charge of this recognized all important AFI market, right?

H.A.

....... Congrats to the Ops and Mx departments to try to make do with what they have. H.A. I do not want to be agressive, but very sceptical about what you wrote after the screenshot. Imho, at least, no congrats to the Opx and Mx departments led by German COO, TR. I stand to be corrected, but given...

Some years ago I joined this forum as an aviation enthousiast. I looked forward reading the first news on this site, coming from people that know the aviation industry and the companies flying out of Brussels. Lately, I have been reading more and more discussions, in a very uncivilized way. A lot o...

After being shown the door at Ouaga (see post on Brussels Airlines 2023), AF received an identical treatment from BKO. IMG-20230811-WA0000.jpg Summary : I inform you that this breach (cancellation without prior notification) results in the cancellation of your authorization to operate flights for yo...
