How long does the painting of a big bird like the A330 usually take?

Re: Air Belgium in 2023

Very sad, but predicted like I did a few years ago. You can't survive from BRU without feeder flights. It's just burning money and not having good investors. I hope LH let SN the opportunity to use one of the remaining pax planes from KF for the time one of their own got stuck. If the LH group is n...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2023

Hi all, I do not say the issue / discussion on LAD is not important but ... ... To be honest, currently I am more concerned about the whole situation in Western Africa that could affect the whole W-African network of SN and other airlines. Then we do not speak anymore on longer flight times but clos...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2023

Just asking the insiders, what is the growth scenario for SN? Austrian is getting 1 additional 320NEO and 1 late CEO from LH, Edelweiss is getting a late CEO as well. Are some 319 exits from the fleet postponed? So far there are 5 A320NEO planned for next year, 1 to be delivered in September, 2 in ...

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal

Hi all, Just a question. Would you see SN having a A321 sub-fleet? I see it useful for destinations such as Tel Aviv, Madrid, Malaga, Athens ... I think on some of these routes frequency is less important or would bring too much capacity, or a combination might be more logic Also Tenerife, Lisbon co...

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal

Next year, a 10th A330 and an additional A320 will be added to the SN fleet. Would the A320 be a NEO and replace yet another A319? Would also be interesting to see to which destination(s) the 10th A330 would go: additional flights to Montreal? New African destinations? More frequencies to existing ...

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal

All, Is it already known which A319 will be replaced by A320neo? I assume it will be A319 that will require soon 'heavy' maintenance and/or repainting, but not sure about that ... I also do not know whether there is a big capacity difference between the current A320 and the A320neo. Anyone insights ...

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal

Is that not what they already announced as part of their expansion in Europe this year (Summer 2023) which was 10% with x number of additional aircraft, etc.?

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2023

Will use the flight to IAD in June when going to Huntsville. Premium Economy

Curious to see which plane I will get Eurowings or any of the SN liveries. Service is the same, so no big deal ...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2023

Hi all, Early March me and my colleague were travelling to JFK on SN metal to go to Saint Lucia (with jetBlue). Because the prices were quite low I booked the JFK tags in business and premium economy respectively. I upgraded the premium economy flight with M&M vouchers to business without proble...

Hi all, I lost a bit the overview, so put it together for myself, but please correct or add details if you have it somewhere :D 1.

Maintenance (types &) duration

Dear all, I follow-up the use, maintenance and painting of the SN fleet. See https://sites.google.com/view/europeanairlinefleets/bel . Quite interesting but I have some questions. OO-SFH seems to be in Amman for a very long time now. I know there are different types of maintenance: A, B ... D ... (?...

1000th flight

Hi all, This Sunday I will have my 1000th flight :D . It is an outbound flight to Bilbao with Brussels. After my return from Bilbao, only one trip to go in 2022, to Chisinau (4 flights: BRU-VIE-KIV-VIE-BRU). I intend to generate a map of all flights when I will retire (but still 4 years to work ;) )...

Re: Air Belgium in 2022

Hi Passenger, Not sure this type of math's makes a lot of sense ;) I would rather say: -47 + -40 million = -87 million. So overall an increase of the losses, certainly not a 'profit'. Especially because it is a very small airline, these are very negative numbers ... You can only say an improvement o...

You can best follow this here: https://sites.google.com/view/europeanairlinefleets/bel Currently 11 are painted in the new schema (7 A319, 3 A320 and 1 A330) - White with blue symbol for the plane I guess they do not repaint now, usually that is more done in the winter season for the obvious reason ...

Re: BRU Summer 2022: news, new routes, airlines

I guess this means SN will offer soon more frequencies? Or bigger equipment?

How many flights/week they have (LY)?
