on its Brussels and Toronto routes. According to the airline This route has proved one of its most popular averaging load factor of more that 72 %. (45% on business and 82% in economy) Apparently many of the clients travelling from Toronto and Brusselsd connect through AUH to Bangkok and Jakarta. Wi...

Depending where you are based now, MEA can be a brilliant option..they fly daily to most major destinations in M.E. and Europe..They are partners with Flying Blue (Air France-KLM)..I think that you colllect free tickets very quickly, besides they often (once a year at least) offer a 50% discount on ...

I agree that the Belgian authority has a lot to do too...Most important is to generate more traffic to the country.. I fail to understand why this beautiful country fails to attract tourists, apart from the thousands of Dutch, Germans, and French..and the occasional Japanese passing by on their way ...

I fly almost every week on SN..almost always delayed...We almost never leave on time.. same destination with virgin almost always on time. Yes Virgin express is more reliable than SN. As a passenger who flies every week I can confirm this... Try checking in using self check in machines at bru (sn ma...

as long as they make money..they can fly donkeys..who cares?? seriously they need to improve the service they offer...THE CLAIM TO BE A BUSINESS AIRLINE..self check in counters introduced last year in BRU years too late...WHY? Try to use them..U need to know the full number of your electronic ticket...

Why, I hope you do not think that capital is easier to find in the middle east... Emirates is not an exception.. Qatar airways..oman air... Air Arabia (lcc).. royal jordanian..MEA...these are all profitable airlines that found a place for themselves in their markets despite serious chalenges not fac...

Even smaller...look at EMIRATES. when it started in 1985 population of Dubai was not even 500.000...They created a world airline and a world city in less than 20 years. We are the capital of EUROPE. WE surely can do better than SN...

I fly with both SN and Virgin almost on a weekly basis.. I have to say that my SN flight almost NEVER left on time..a european flight delayed for 30 minutes is the norm on SN..this rarely happens with Virgin.. example flights from GVA to BRU morning flights until last year both departed GVA at 08:50...

Both are right am afraid...but the problem is that there are airlines out there that are able to provide the same services (flying us from point A to point B) for much less.. Like some "mainstream" airlines are adopting lcc features ..i think (sadly) that mainstream crew will have to adopt...

TYPICA..first they take advantage of cheap land around the airport..then they build expensive homes..before we know it they complain about the noise and demand curfew or even complete shutdown... We can not stop people from living around airports but maybe we should consider "noise clause"...

they might simply axe cross atlantic and and concentrate on auh-bru-auh .. they do offer an excellent 1 hour bus service to dubai..and an excellent city terminal in the centre of dubai..so it might make sense that they concentrate on Bru-UAE traffic unless emirates or Qatar airways serve BRU of cour...

Does that mean etihad would drop the toronto route? They just became full partnere in SNBA privilege? Is there enough traffic between Bru and Canada to justify two carrieres on the same routes?

I recall taking Pan Am 747 (west) Berlin Tegel to Frankfurt back in 1985...

Klm is suspending its flights to Beirut, Damascus, and Amman as of winter schedule of 2006. Reason given that all three destinantions are loss making. Very strange as all 3 destinations have been in the KLM network for many many decades.
more details anyone?
thanks..

hi,
just to remind you that both LCY and manchester are non-schengen routes too..

Why even respond to such stupidity.?...we should not give this "regional" minister of sports and culture the satisfaction..

MEA has been given permission to operate revenue flights out of Damascus. First flight friday 21/07/2006 fri 21/07 2 flights frankfurt and kuwait sa 22/07 2 flights Paris Jeddah su 23/07 3 flights frankfurt kuwait dubai mo24/07 2 flights paris jeddah tu 25/07 3 flights Dubai frankfurt rhiyad we26/07...

well you might be right about BA. as for Arab carriers they seem to be making a few bucks too...USD 1000 DAMASCUS-DUBAI without all charges and taxes is not really charity..MEA is not operating as its hub is under attack its fleet grounded..millions of USD losses per day and still they make sure tha...

BA suspends flights to damascus, flight of last night was diverted to amman last minute pax had to take a bus from amman to damascus..suspension until further notice... Austrian airlines almost doubled their frequency into damascus .. word is only very expensive business class tickets available out ...

very depressing...death of a country...what a shame no one does anything, we only watch...
