Re: VLM (SHS Antwerp Aviation) news 2018

What's happening with the VLM tariffs between ANR and MUC,ABZ,MAN? as from sept/oct 2018 they are rather high as compared to fares on other VLM-city pairs. e.g. MUC return of EUR 472 as from early september...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2018

As mentioned by Passenger the SSJ is a very comfortable plane. Too bad it is not technically reliable. The fact that LH, 100 % owner of SN, does not seem (as far as I know) to be willing to help and lets SN sort out the mess alone is quite worrisome. If I missed something, please tell me. "You...

From experience, a slot request doesn’t actually mean that they WILL start flying. But it’s a start. Would that be direct flights or via its base (Reykjavik?) This ...

So Air Belgium has a Finn among its key staff, it has former Finnair aircraft and has adopted Blue1's IATA-code. What's next? A partnership with Finnair? 😊

I'm once again baffled by VLM's network developments. How do they want to attract business travellers with those flight schedules? Nevertheless, I wish them all the best.

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2018

No it's not the SN product and brand, why would it be if it's operated out of Germany (yes even in Germany SN is a very bad known brand). But why is SN so badly known in Germany? Because LH decided to monopolise the routes from BRU to its main bases FRA and MUC. The former SN (Sabena) was flying to...

At this morning's press conference, MOL revealed that Ryanair would like to increase the number of its stationed aircraft in Brussels from four possibly to eight, once it takes delivery of the B737 MAX200s in 2019. These aircraft make less noise, which will enable additional departures between 6 an...
