BRU Summer 2016: news, new routes, airlines

[crew1990]

The second flight to Newark is only a summer flight?

According to the FB of BRU, yes.

THX
So it's not so big news at the end 1 more plane ( ( that we new already)the other one is for 2017 and 1 summer flight with a 757....
I was thinking of a big plan to replace the long haul fleet.
Like that we will stay with the problem of canceled flights!

Yes it slowly solve the problem of the cancellation, one A330 does''t mean 7 weekly flight, for example this new A330 will 5 Toronto and 1 Kigali-entebbe so it mean that it will be a spare aircraft one day per week. When the 10th A330 will come, if SN open lagos-libreville or Mumbai 4 flight per week it will be a total of 9 daily long haul flight for 10 a330. This mean that there will be a full spare a330.

And when do you plan maintenance?

[crew1990]

Of course i plan maintenance but the meaning is more aircraft = more spare aircraft

I guess UA will evaluate end of season if a more permanent service is an option...

Will this make UA the second biggest operator at BRU?

With 2 daily flights? I seriously doubt that. Probably JAF or Ryanair

SN will launch the 5 weekly flights to Toronto on March 27 and will operate the route with a mix of A333 and A332. Reservation is said to be opened today, but on their website I can only find flights via Montreal on AC as from 27 March (at the time of writing this post), so probably only in GDS and still under way to be opened for reservation on the website?

SN551 BRU1030 – 1320YYZ 333 47
SN551 BRU1030 – 1320YYZ 332 256

SN552 YYZ1755 – 0715+1BRU 333 47
SN552 YYZ1755 – 0715+1BRU 332 256

A nice side-note, according to Airlineroute.net, Sabena last served the route in March 1992.

Air Europa will transfer its E195 fleet (used a.o. for its MAD-BRU flights) to a new LCC subsidiary called Air Europa Express, which will also operate AT42 turboprop aircraft acquired from Aeronova.

According to air Transat's booking engine it is still Montreal and not Toronto. Looks like a mistake in Brussels Airport's newsletter.
