BRU winter 2010-2011: latest news, routes, airlines

[VEX802]

Already mentioned in the "Brussels Airport: Monthly figures 2010"-topic, but still interesting:

Some interesting information inthe latest report of mapairports:

"In addition, Montenegro Airlines has announced a three
weekly service to Podgorica from December 2010"

Starting from 1st December, Olympic Air business class passengers can use fast lane A at Brussels Airport.

As from october Hong Kong Airlines will start with 3 weekly passenger flights to Brussels !
They received 1, 5 million euros aid from the Flemish goverment.

If this is correct it will be the second long haul flight for Hong Kong Airlines after the Moscow flight.
Flight will be operated by an A330 is suppose.

December 15 and not a single airplane of Hong Kong Airlines showed up. 11 pages and 202 posts of 'what we think will come to BRU', but not a single word of airlines and routes that did not show up.

Perhaps a good idea to start a new topic: 'BRU winter 2010/2011: latest no-shows' ?

I thought that Hong Kong Airlines (cargo) postponed the launch until early 2011. Hence no aircraft yet. But lets wait and see. Pax aircraft were just a rumor (although a link to Hong Kong would be nice)!

[Bralo20]

Actually the strangest was the announcement of the daily BRU-NRT route flown by NH. Announced by NH (Belgium) itself and picked up by respected media but withdrawn sooner than it was released

[Juulke]

Hong Kong Airlines cargo flights should be delayed untill april, or even later next year.

It was a very wild rumor, based on nothing. Funny thing was that HKA had even no long haul to organise these flights. Only now they have some A330 to organise long haul. Besides the GSA announced at that time that it was not possible to organise such flights.
Wait and see

[Airbus A330]

Is it correct that Hainan Airlines is codesharing with SN on the FCO route ?

Tomorrow 5JAN11 :
STA 0900 SN 3188 also wears the codeshare number HU 8090

If you check Hainan's booking engine you can see that several European destinations are offered on Malèv, Air Berlin and Brussels Airlines flights. Altough I don't know if this is an interline agreement or a codeshare (or something else I don't know).

As from 19 January Continental is going to upgrade to a B777 ex BRU to EWR.

As from 19 January Continental is going to upgrade to a B777 ex BRU to EWR.

Is this upgrade seasonal or definitly ?

[sdbelgium]

Seasonal for the moment due to lack of a/c. Maybe with the huge UA 777 fleet...

[Atlantis]

Hard to say with Continental the last couple of months/years. They changed their plans a lot before making it official or before they get permission.

My guess is that it will be seasonally but you never know...

[Bralo20]

Seasonal for the moment due to lack of a/c. Maybe with the huge UA 777 fleet...

BRU-IAD will go down to a 763ER again during summer... So I don't think UA has any 772's on spare at the moment...

maybe a T7 is just too much capacity for the route...?

According to the latest, Sky Work Airlines ops by Air Vallee will start new flights to Angers on 16.02 and not today or, as previously announced, 2 weeks earlier.

Also the timetable is changed with an arrival at BRU at 15h.
