BRU Summer 2007: what to expect - new routes, frequencies

FLY4HOURS.BE · Post by **FLY4HOURS.BE** » 26 May 2007, 19:48

Haneda would be great!!

I remember being there 4 years ago in the lounge.
Jeez, a 747 taking-off and landing every 45 seconds,... and that for all-domestic routes...(well-almost because there were often China Airlines and Korean airlines crafts)
They have started the construction of a 4th 2500m long runway a few months ago and are gaining space on the Tokyo bay. It is told that it would be ready by 2010!!

Haneda sure has the great capacity potential for a BRU-route: Tokyo city has nearly twice as many inhabitants as all Belgium, without talking about its great agglomerations...

Just to remind that next week, Friday, the first US Airways flight from Philadelphia will land on Belgian soil.

The World Airways DC10F flights (N304WL & N303WL) on behalf of ET Cargo are expected to cease as from June 1st.

The DC-10F will either be doing a BRU-LOS run for DHL, or a Central America run for Martinair.

After Silverfleet and Cargo B Airlines, Royal Jordanian Cargo !
Siverfleet last flight took place end of April, after 8 cancellations in a row nothing is expected next couple of weeks, silent death?

They are still "flying". I saw yesterday a new promotion for the flights to LOS.

But what about the JFK flights, absolutely no info. Low traffic for them??

At last, we can check prices starting from Brussels :

Newark is bookable for 407 euro (taxes included) :kvole:
Mumbai bookable for 577 euro ( taxed included)

Now let's hope that they adjust the prices for some connecting destinations :

Singapore : economy 5.800 euro !!!!!!!!
Bangkok via Delhi : "special" economy ~1.800 euro :frown:

otherwise i dont see any good reason...

This combined with the arrival of the new 787's and the capacity problems on EUR and the interest for BE market (high yields, low competition, BRU as EU capital) might change the opinions of the JP management within the upcoming months...

SF
As experienced by Sabena.... U got to be joking right?

I think Snowflake is right ! Moreover don't forget that SN's TYO-route has been systematically undermined by and the high yields diverted to the Swiss ! :teach:

According to different sites its because RJC joined One World Alliance.

Royal Jordanian was letting know that they are very excited about the big extention of Brucargo. This was also, according to them, one of the reasons to come to Brussels.

On the same time they let know to fly in the near future also via Istanbul or Caïro.

KD Avia delayed their operations to Brussels and others due to shortage of B737-300's. New date is 27 July.

How to understand the connection between joining oneworld and moving their hub to BRU?

How much of a oneworld place is BRU actually?

AA BA CX AY IB MA ...... LA QF JL ...... RJ

(... and the remote possibility of SN joining oneworld one day)

AA RJ is flying to JFK themselves
BA RJ is flying to LHR themselves
IB RJ is flying to MAD and BCN themselves
CX Would RJ send some of their cargo westbound to BRU to have it then shipped eastbound again by CX?
AY
MA

No connections with LA, JL and QF at BRU.

A few years ago RJ stopped flying pax to BRU.

See two posts above. It was one of the reasons and yes One World is one of them.

Today's flight was Amman-Algiers-Brussels-Amman.

> It was one of the reasons and yes One World is one of them.

I'm not questioning that this has been communicated as such.

It's just that I still don't see how BRU would be somewhat more of oneworld airport than various other major airports in the region. For example, FRA is being generously served by all of the oneworld carriers, without exception.

so, if I am not mistaken, there will be 2 easy jet flights from Brussels? Will the A319s be based at BRU?
