Re: Brussels Airport (BRU) infrastructure: future
Voka already voted in favor of the new environmental permit for BRU. This is a very important vote. It will be closed on the 10th of January. Why would Voka ever be against? Why we can't place it here if one of the organisations is in favor???? It's related regarding the permit and why it should be...

Re: EgyptAir stewardesses begin wearing hijab
This topic was started in 2012, remained unanswered for 11 years and was reactivated a few days ago. As long as everyone remains polite and nobody is offended, I think that the discussion is still relevant. Relevant, seriously? This topic is disrespectful, people have been banned and reprimanded he...

Re: EgyptAir stewardesses begin wearing hijab
Of course they shoud have the right to wear a hijab. But passengers have the right to regret that, after so many years when it was forbidden, they feel the desire, the need, or maybe the social obligation to wear it. What passenger would "regret" that flight attendants have the right to a...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2023
Are the differences between the different rows 'on purpose'? I guess the reasoning is that the first rows are business anyway, but not always and certainly not 9 rows. Then the fact that for the remaining seats there is again a difference is bit weird, no? The rows behing the business is the so cal...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2023
In terms of seating it depends where in the cabin you look (compared to SN's standard A320) - First row is the same - Then you have 5 rows at 31" followed by 4 at 30" vs. 9x30" on the A320ceo - First 9 rows are reclinable, at a higher degree than the (unitil now standard) Recaro seat...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2023
For the Dutch side Paramaribo comes in mind, Sint-Maarten, Curacao, Aruba,... Mostly, KLM has a near monopoly on those routes, probably resulting in high yields. SN could tap into those markets by undercutting KL's rates and still make a profit. All those destinatiins have large communities in the ...

Re: Trivia 2023 (miscellaneous news)
Thanks, Lux_avi, for a rather constructive post, if we except the criticism against a member of the news team. Criticism? Lux pointed out your article was plain wrong, you then insisted you were right on the basis of notam which was totally unrelated and even now, iso just admitting you were wrong,...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2023
. Each their opinion, yes??!! But is seems very sensitive. It’s not about opinion and sensitivity, it’s placing unions and Middle Ages in the same sentence which is upsetting. In the Middle Ages workers were owned by their employer they were used/abused, literally kicked out, mutilated or even kill...

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
And future OO-SBA (now F-WWIJ) made a test flight yesterday at 16:45 (landed back at 17:21) Is it the SN pilots that are doing the tests or rather pilots from Airbus? Typically the customer does a test/acceptance flight before delivery, more if issues are found. Some airlines skip that flight or us...

Maybe off topic; but can we please stop the constant bashing on SN ? Not only off topic but also not relevant and repetitive, this is a forum not a fanclub! People are free to give their opinion, that’s what forums are for, as long as it’s done politely. When people make wrong comparisons, just poi...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2023
Yes but how to blame an airline while your staff doesn't fly to TLV. About Lufthansa the main pilot union was against the fact to fly to TLV. They said it"s the Air Force Job. It's probably why since 2-3 days more and more countries deployed Air Force aircraft to TLV replacing airlines. An air...

Excluding Israelis airlines, among biggest airlines only Air France, FlyDubai, Etihad still flying to TLV but AF flights make a stop at Athens on the return flight from TLV to CDG. You seems to forgot this is a war zone. Few days ago, Rockets hit Tel Aviv Airport and we have seen people lied on the...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2023
Mommy Lufti has asked her subsidiary airlines to suspend the repatriation flights hence no SN flight to TLV tomorrow. So when the Covid-sh!t hits the fan Lufti turns to the government saying: “you need to save your airline” whilst when the government needs “their” airline for, paid, repatriation fl...
