Brussels Airlines: the divorce with Eurowings is not yet registered
Three months after announcing its separation from Lufthansa's low cost subsidiary, the Belgian airline is still part of the Eurowings group, pending a strategic plan.

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2019
The article is behind a paywall!But indeed there are many signs that Brussels Airlines is far from having regained its independence from Eurowings: no monthly statistics, no mention of the airline in the LH press releases, etc.rwandan-flyer wrote: ↑07 Oct 2019, 20:29Brussels Airlines: the divorce with Eurowings is not yet registered

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2019
The thing I wonder about is whether LH has made it clear that SN would no longer be part of EW from the moment they anounced it or if they'd become independent from EW on a later time, maybe after the reboot plan is evaluated?sn26567 wrote: ↑07 Oct 2019, 21:41The article is behind a paywall!But indeed there are many signs that Brussels Airlines is far from having regained its independence from Eurowings: no monthly statistics, no mention of the airline in the LH press releases, etc.rwandan-flyer wrote: ↑07 Oct 2019, 20:29Brussels Airlines: the divorce with Eurowings is not yet registered

In other words, did LH announce a time schedule for the disintegration of SN from EW?
Re: Brussels Airlines in 2019
I think SN has to reboot before they become independent from EW. Makes sense to have an alternative plan before changing the current setup as an independent SN without reboot isn't viable.

Brussels Airlines flies daily to Kinshasa again and introduces Premium Economy on African flights.

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2019
Flew OO-SNN in Eurowings colors yesterday evening from CPH to BRU. Crew didn't mention anything and it must be a bit confusing to passengers not in the know to end up in this aircraft. Good flight, as usual with SN.

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2019
It is so freshly-painted that it would be easier just to send this a/c to EW and swap it for another one.brusselsairlinesfan wrote: ↑12 Oct 2019, 12:42Btw, is there a plan to repaint this aircraft ?BrightCedars wrote: ↑11 Oct 2019, 11:25Flew OO-SNN in Eurowings colors yesterday evening from CPH to BRU.

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2019
Is this bird still needed after the Thomas Cook demise? No overcapacity for the A320 fleet? Or are they going to launch new routes like DUB or HEL or increase frequencies on existing ones?A321Lufthansa wrote: ↑12 Oct 2019, 16:15It is so freshly-painted that it would be easier just to send this a/c to EW and swap it for another one.brusselsairlinesfan wrote: ↑12 Oct 2019, 12:42Btw, is there a plan to repaint this aircraft ?BrightCedars wrote: ↑11 Oct 2019, 11:25Flew OO-SNN in Eurowings colors yesterday evening from CPH to BRU.

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2019
Brussels Airlines will for sure fly to leisure destinations. As the new Wamos Benelux is taking over 61 shops, they still have to fly those pax. Wamos fleet is too big to do that on their own. So I'm pretty sure that Wamos will take contact with SN to set up a new contract
Regarding other plans with their fleet we have to wait till we see the reboot plan

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2019
Yes, it can be confusing, but as long as the service on board is still typical Brussels Airlines, passengers will not bother too much. What passengers do complain about are the wet leases, crew not able to speak Dutch/French, different on board product, etc.BrightCedars wrote: ↑11 Oct 2019, 11:25Flew OO-SNN in Eurowings colors yesterday evening from CPH to BRU.

There is a plan to repaint the OO-SNN and OO-SFB, but this is currently not at the top of the prio list, especially with the long haul operations still being very challenging operationally.
The reboot plan will be announced by the end of November, maybe December. The impact of Wamos taking over Neckermann is not completely clear yet, but at least there is hope that they will take over some Thomas Cook business.
Re: Brussels Airlines in 2019
Wamos have an ultra low cost airline branch, so either SN will have to offer very cheap flights either they will operate the flights themselves by flying W patterns and/or night stopping crew and aircraft in Brussels.DeltaWiskey wrote: ↑12 Oct 2019, 21:21The impact of Wamos taking over Neckermann is not completely clear yet, but at least there is hope that they will take over some Thomas Cook business.

The Wamos division in Belgium (Neckermann) will be focusing on selling packages of other tour operators like Pegase etc.Poiu wrote: ↑13 Oct 2019, 04:45Wamos have an ultra low cost airline branch, so either SN will have to offer very cheap flights either they will operate the flights themselves by flying W patterns and/or night stopping crew and aircraft in Brussels.DeltaWiskey wrote: ↑12 Oct 2019, 21:21The impact of Wamos taking over Neckermann is not completely clear yet, but at least there is hope that they will take over some Thomas Cook business.
They are, for the moment at least, not having own package deals. Transport is thus offered by an agreement with one of the tour operators. SN commercial department will have a harder time selling their product in the same quantities as before.
Re: Brussels Airlines in 2019
The only thing I can find about Wamos Air is that they only have widebody aircraft (744 and 332), a little overkill for the markets TC flew through SN, isn't it?Poiu wrote: ↑13 Oct 2019, 04:45Wamos have an ultra low cost airline branch, so either SN will have to offer very cheap flights either they will operate the flights themselves by flying W patterns and/or night stopping crew and aircraft in Brussels.DeltaWiskey wrote: ↑12 Oct 2019, 21:21The impact of Wamos taking over Neckermann is not completely clear yet, but at least there is hope that they will take over some Thomas Cook business.
Maybe in time we might see a Wamos aircraft at BRU performing long haul (Caribbean) flights but for most of the flights to the Mediterranean they'd still need a partner, hence the possible continuation of SN.
