Re: Brussels Airlines SEPT '16 figures: 8,2% more passengers.

The load factor is also lower than European legacy carriers like BA, KL, AF and IB. And the lowest among all LH-group carriers. So improving the LF seems important regardless of the low-cost strategy. no sweat...they are getting there. And true the load factor is the lowest in the LH group but on t...

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal

OO-SSX has apparently joined the fleet. In a facebook group I saw a post from someone who heard the SSX perform the Rat-test. He checked FR24 after and it was the SSX. Secondly, it seems to me that the OO-DWI has left the fleet. He didn't perform any flights since 26/9 and was planned to leave this...

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal

One of problems with the A350 it's that its to big... No it is not too big but the range is too long for the destinations that SN is serving 'right now'. My guess is a nice chunk of Singapore Airlines' A330 fleet will be finding its way to SN in a few years. then according to your reasoning the 10t...

Re: Swiss CS100 MAN-ZRH in J with bonus go around! (with photos, full length video)

Great report. I didn't look yet at the full-length video, but what I could see impressed me. I am surprised that the plane didn't dock at a jet bridge in Manchester. Afraid to dent a new aircraft? Most gates of T1 in MAN have no jet bridges..as you can see in the video. Those who think that BRU is ...

And before you make dumb comments about state aid, be sure you get your facts straight. But it is true. If SN would conclude dodgy contract...
