BRU winter 2007-08 : what to expect: new routes, frequencies
Moderator: Latest news team
This makes B.Air by far the best choice between BRU and Berlin ... Not only do they fly with the more spacious 5-abreast Avro (compared to LH's CRJ200's), but they serve THF instead of TXL and have more frequencies. Good news indeed!tolipanebas wrote:Don't know if it is reported yet, but SN has announced a SIXTH daily THF flight. It will be a midday flight, thus filling the gap between the multiple morning and evening flights. There will now be a real BRU-THF shuttle service with a flight every 2.5 hrs from early in the morning till late at night, similar to BHX and GVA.
Is this to prepare for the increased competition with the arrival of Easyjet (and maybe Air Berlin) on the route? They obviously have to defend a pretty much high yield market here?
Anybody an idea what B.Air will do once THF will be closed down next year? Move all flights to TXL or go directly to SXF (where at the moment are mainly LCC flights and holiday / charter flights, but which will become the main / only aiport for Berlin in a number of years)?

Secure the slots at SXF (in the future BBI or Berlin Brandenburg International) would seem to me as the best option while these slots are still cheap.euroflyer wrote:Anybody an idea what B.Air will do once THF will be closed down next year?

Well SN already operates to SXF (one daily flight), but I think that if the inevitable is to happen and THF is to close end of next year, they will move to TXL for a few years.
At least that was the plan last time THF was set to close and it was revoced only 4 days before the actual move thanks to a court ruling which decided THF should stay open.
As long as SXF isn't BBI yet, SN will try to serve the most convenient airport in BER. For the time being this is THF and when it closes, it will be TXL.
SXF is no match to either of them really (at least until all the infrastructure works are finished and it officially becomes BBI, Berlin's sole mega-airport).

If I am not mistaken, operators from TXL (and THF) are guaranteed to get the same slots as they now hold at the other Berlin airports once BBI opens and becomes the sole Berlin Airport.sn26567 wrote: Secure the slots at SXF (in the future BBI or Berlin Brandenburg International) would seem to me as the best option while these slots are still cheap.
Remember BBI airport is to have a much bigger capacity than SXF has right now, so what it means is that those who are operating at SXF will keep on doing so at the times they have always done and those who will have to move in from TXL will be added to that, also with their exisiting time schedule.
It really is the only way in which you can make such a thing work, otherwise you'd get a stream of lawsuits from all sort of airlines over the unfair slot allocations during the relocation process.
Just look at the legal problems the regional government has had to face with their plan to close THF BEFORE BBI opens and to move the THF operators to TXL against their will....

From 12th of November, LOT will connect Brussels with Wroclaw, 6 times weekly.
Finally! Or rather, just too late, as I just bought tickets for Christmas to Berlin on Easyjet, where I'll take a train to Wroclaw...
But I'm sure that this connection will serve me well in the future!

It will stay with 4 flights a week, no daily.Atlantis wrote:Hi Brubiac,Brubiac wrote:Some updates for the winter. Some are already posted in other topics
US Airways
daily with 767-200ER
According to the timetable on the Brussels Airport site, the flights for US Airways are still four flights a week. Can it still be changed?

But there is a mistake : the flight MAA-BRU-YYZ is operated by an A330 and they say that the return flight is operated by a 777 ?
Which aircraft will finally fly the route ?
Thanks in advance
The timetable shows now 4 nonstop flights for the winter season !spotter1102 wrote:Yes there will be 2 nonstop flights and 2 flights via BUD a week.DannyVDB wrote:Hi all,
If Brussels Airport website states it correctly, Hainan is going back to 4 flights a week this winter season. Does anyone has confirmation on this?

Not really. Chennai will be five weekly, A330. New York JFK will be daily, 77W. Delhi will go to 77W, and be increased from 5 weekly to daily. So routings will become: Chennai - BRU - Toronto, A330, 5 weekly, and Delhi - BRU - JFK, 77W, daily.Chennai - New York: daily flights A330 9W
From what I hear, the next new 9W route will only be for the next summer season.PS: can we expecting more for this winter? Maybe Jet Airways?
Yes, it seems that the next route will be Bangalore-Brussels-??? starting in May 2008teach wrote:Not really. Chennai will be five weekly, A330. New York JFK will be daily, 77W.

Correct till 04.12. After that date they will increase this route: Chennai-BRU-Toronto to daily. This according to the timetable on Brussels Airport and Amadeus.teach wrote:Not really.

Hi Atlantis,
I think we see at the beginning of the year the new routes to be flown by JetAir. Everything will depend on the aircrafts delivered over the coming months ...
I also think that some of the routes of SN will be suspended during the winter season: Bari, St-Petersburg, Palermo, ...(?). Should be no problem. Notice also (not new) that Tel-Aviv will become daily!

Danny
