Re: 2019 Liège Airport (LGG/EBLG) latest news
No surprise it was only a few charters (no, the idiots didnt win) It was indeed a contract for 6 charter flights, but it has been agreed not to accept such a contract anymore ! So the "idiots" might still have won a battle 😉 Charters for a Dutch company, who wanted only QR to fly from Maa...

Re: TUI fly Belgium in 2019
Strange that TUI flies to Miami only in Summer. Miami is rather a winter destination for Americans trying to escape the cold of the Northern cities of New York and Chicago! I don’t think many Americans take TUI to fly from New York or Chicago to Miami. :roll: I think you would be surprised !! Last ...

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
Sorry to have deviated from the topic, but the discussions are related: SN will be able to renew its fleet only if it can show a healthy profit, and BRU can and should help SN make a profit. It's in everybody's interest! Complete nonsense. BRU shouldn’t do anything for SN. It’s up to SN to become h...

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
But like we could read here like BRU has to invest more in SN is not possible bcs LH is the main share holder. It's a bit easy to say investment must come from the shareholder; in today's world, we speek about 'stakeholders' and this includes ALL beneficiaries, also those who do not OWN the company...

Re: Brussels Airport (BRU) infrastructure: future

No communication from Brussels Airlines people are panicking really bad service. Incidents continue in a very frequent...

Re: BRU Summer 2020: news, new routes, airlines
A little off-topic, I have a small question: Why Brussels Airlines and Air New Zealand do not work together between BRU and Heathrow (codeshare)? If you would booking a flight between BRU and LAX (for example) with Air New Zealand, you need a connection in LHR Terminal 2 (Star Alliance). But the BR...

Re: Brussels Airport (BRU) infrastructure: future
With all due respect……………. LOL !!! This is worse than amateur window dressing from BRU. I hope BAC realises the urgency of getting a new departures area ASAP. Apart from the vague, dreamy "2040" plans I haven't seen a single real, tangible plan. The current drop off, taxi and bus area are...

Re: BRU Summer 2020: news, new routes, airlines
Regarding leisure flights, as far as I remember they have an agreement with Thomas Cook as SN is not selling leisure flights on their own. So SN is receiving a fixed price. Correct me in this if I'm wrong But, Leisure flights should be the minor part, even not 50%. Business is the main purpose. Eve...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2019
There is probably a more logical solution, and more economic ?? AIR BELGIUM If AF, British A, LOT etc. make long term ACMI agreements withAir Belgium, why can't SN. If SN would use one or 2 AB planes for a few weeks, for JFK and IAD, they would probably loose less money (revenue) and certainly cause...

Re: Brussels Airport (BRU) infrastructure: future
The next point, comes always back, is the direct connection of the E40 from Leuven to BRU. Working on the airport, I very much welcome the idea. But is there already any idea on how it would run? Because between the airport and the E40 there is some pretty densely populated area. About A-pier West,...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2019
I mean: same route BRU-MOSCOW is served 21 times by AEROFLOT, only 5 times by BRUSSELS AIRLINES. SN also has connections. SN simply underperforms on many destinations. Long way to go. With such a statement, it's obvious you know the load factor. Can you share that with us please? Same for the yield...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2019
If SN wants to grow and become a network airline, you would imagine they would work on and develop further their existing destinations. When you see Moscow is only served 5 times a week ( 21 times by Aeroflot !!), Bordeaux, Bristol, Prague,..hardly once a day. Focus on business destinations will cer...

Re: Brussels Airport (BRU) infrastructure: future
Schiphol didn't consider a fuel system going down twice as normal, and it wasn't even not their fault, but the supplier AFS. So their CEO apologized on national television and asked himself how they could improve communication to reduce the impact. Applied to Brussels Airport's case, that would be ...
