Quite hard to do when you virtually have no planes. Thomas Cook Airlines Belgium has just 5 planes, all of them A320's and non of them capable to make a (commercial) TATL crossing.
No crossing beside the positioning of the aircraft. Wet lease for North/Central Amercian companies for regional and domnestic flights, as explained already several times in this topic. (Reading is an art)

Words from a HQ pilot:

'We will fly for Volaris in Central America in winter (Maybe all 5 aircraft) and the Belgian flights will be done with some help of the other companies in the HQ group.'


I think they want to lease all Belgian staff/aircraft so there is staff/aircraft unity and not a British guy flying a Belgian aircraft and visa versa because of some regulations. (This last part is just a thought of mine btw)

If this project materialize, my guess is that SN will operate all the HQ flights except the one to Egypt and Cabo Verde

It will be nice for the the crew of HQ, from a day to another they will have to fly from Mexico, hope they don't have a family.

Thomas Cook Airlines is mentioned in the article, not Thomas Cook Airlines Belgium. Thomas Cook Airlines is their UK branch. ;)

Thomas Cook Airlines Belgium also did flights for them. Not as much as the British, indeed.

And who's going to be flying all their charter flights then, provided they have more flights than just those to occupy 1 plane?

They have a solid agreement with Brussels Airlines.

And during the winter JAF also sends many planes to Canada...

Brussels Airline already fly on a regular basis to Marakesh, Agadir, Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Malaga, Alicante, Faro.

What is left for Thomas Cook in winter was just at the end Egypt and Cabo Verde. They can still operate those flight with their single A320 and all the rest to Brussels Airlines.

And the aim of my sentence was just to say you can't compare JAF with Thomas Cook BE. At all...
