Well there is the brussels airport topic wich is more dedicated

Nairobi will be "sec" some days of the week and via Kigali the other days. At the moment for Africa there are direct fly both direction on some day of the week for Nairobi, Kinshasa and Dakar during winter. The plan for the moment is to grow at a one a330 per year rate. Number 11th is plan...

As an aviation enthousiast I share this frustration, but once again, Brussels Airlines is a privately own company, the only and sole objectif is to please the shareholder, not us.

O/D to overseas territories on which AF/KL now have a (near)monopoly? For long haul the plan is cristal clear, the focus is on Africa with connecting pax from Europe with SN metal and North America with SN metal for JFK and the rest with United and Air Canada. Africa is the main focus indeed with a...

As I do not think I will fly again this year, I publish my last post in this topic. Flown: BRU-HRG SN A320; economy HRG-ZRH WK A320; economy ZRH-BRU LX (operated by 2L) ERJ195E2; business BRU-CUN TB 787-8; economy CUN-LIS TP A330-900; business LIS-BRU TP A320; economy FRA-IBZ DE 757-300; economy IBZ...

After a painting job, I guess!

No the aircraft will be kept white untill April and then will be painted... stay tuned...

To be honnest, I think that a brussels airlines story would be very different from the air belgium one as it would not be limited to point 2 point but the routes could as well benefits from the extensive network of SN in France and other station. I do think that SN could be profitable on those route...

What a lack of ambition from SN and/or LH. BRU and SN could easily take away market-share and PAX from AMS and CDG. And how would they accomplish that easily? Leisure travelers are first and foremost price sensitive. Business travelers focus on frequencies, preferably daily if not more often than t...

Only during summer season, there were 2 during S23, there should be 3 for S24

Already to be deliver in the following days.

Just wondering why SN get the -251 series of engines and all the others LH/LX/OS the -271 series of engines on the NEO Beacuse Lufthansa is upset with their current GTF P&W engines issues, and haven't been compensated accordingly. Hence, the next 30 A320neo and next A321neo of Lufthansa will be...

I notice future OO-SBB is all white. Will it become another Star Alliance, a new Belgian Icon or just delayed in painting for one reason or another? Remarkable since future OO-SBC is painted in the regular livery. I questionning myself as well. But let's remember some Austrian Airlines aircraft arr...

Well, i suppose 330 No 11-13 are a plan, but no official commitment yet. Indeed it's the plan. With 320 class, i am not so sure. We've seen an extra 319 coming so this may be also an intermediate way, regardless of the all 320fleet plan. Austrian was getting rid of their A319, one of them went to S...

I don't know anything about any extention of A319 contract. The project is and has always been replacing the A319 with A320neo. We can expect to see 4 other A319 leaving replaced by OO-SBB; OO-SBC; OO-SBD and OO-SBE. From what I heard the short/medium haul fleet will not be much bigger in regards wi...

With the arrival of OO-SBA, OO-SSH is at the moment performing a last flight under a SN flight number as she is beeing positioning from Edimburgh (EDI - UK) to Bangor (BGR - USA) for phasing out.

They did not agreed yet, they are discussing, but nothing signed yet

Lumumba, the problem is not beeing nice or not. The problem is beeing suitable for crew who need security (mainly in a country as RDC), safety and rest what tent accomodation cannot provide at all. In the case of Luanda, this is not a crew station at the moment, and if one day it would become one th...

The journey to the city of Kinshasa, where all the hotels are located can take up to 4 hours both way for a layover of just 24h. They found as solution a national park outside with "luxurious" tent... Air France made the choice to send their crew to Brazaville.
