Well the Brussels-Jo-Burg route was a good one, I'm sure if they got some bigger aircraft it would obviously open new marktes to them eg to the Far Eastern stuff.

Do SN have any plans for expanding their long haul fleet?

I was wondering if SN are planning any form of expansion to their long haul aircraft fleet? I think it would make SN good again and establish them as a bigger player in the airline industry.
Any thoughts?

I'm a "reggie spotter"as you will know Eurocontrol. Started about 6 months ago and still going strong. Shame I missed out on Paris would have boosted the Air France count for me!

I don't mean to be rude about BMI Baby but, why are the leasing such a heap of junk surely they could have got something better? The Sabena 737-200's were ropey to say the least when I flew on them so I dread to imagine what they are like now! First flight in 1974, anyone know how many hours airfram...

Apparently the building that they are in is having power surveys or something so it's going to offline for 2 days or so.

Liverpool-Amsterdam with Easyjet

In relation to my SN Brussels "Ripoff" Airlines post, I thought I'd post an airline experience of my flight mentioned with Easyjet. I'm afraid to say for all you SN fans it was fantastic. No hassels at all, the crew were excellent, lovely new 737-700NG made for comfortable flying. Takeoff ...

I understand people's points, but I still feel these high prices are stupid, this act of pure profiteering. I understand the point of booking early but some people don't have the circumstances to be able to book so far in advance. I still think that £341 BRU-MAN business class, is alot. Anyway just ...
