It should be as a matter of fact much more to "steal away" pax from neighbour countries or cities.

Absolutely nothing wrong trying to attract them, I was merely explaining why it’s difficult to attract them.Atlantis wrote: ↑30 Jun 2019, 20:36Nevertheless nothing wrong to attract them. BRU offers also flights which AMS doesn't have e.g. in Africa

DL is even upgrading tot 764.sn26567 wrote: ↑30 Jun 2019, 16:51 Impressive summary, Atlantis.
I guess you mean SkyTeam. They are worth looking at, because Delta has always been a strong contender in BRU with its two major hubs in JFK and ATL drawing throngs of travellers.
It's true that AF and KL will more and more use train connections, but BRU should try to attract travellers by train as well. This is done for the Netherlands, but not for France.
On which route? I tought BRU-JFK was being upgraded to a a330-200, so the BRU-ATL route?Conti764 wrote: ↑01 Jul 2019, 09:28DL is even upgrading tot 764.sn26567 wrote: ↑30 Jun 2019, 16:51 Impressive summary, Atlantis.

Delta is the only one of Skyteam who is upgrading from time to time. It's a pity that we will not see their A330 at BRU, but who knows. But more than two destinations we will not see of them, I'm afraid
But Conti764 just said they gone upgrade to A330?!Atlantis wrote: ↑01 Jul 2019, 19:47Delta is the only one of Skyteam who is upgrading from time to time. It's a pity that we will not see their A330 at BRU, but who knows. But more than two destinations we will not see of them, I'm afraid
The other Chinese carriers in Skyteam has a too strong bound with KLM, so better is to rely on Hainan and to attract some other ones.
Maybe too far future and maybe not directly in the scope but Aero Mexico could be also a possibility. The destination is not unknown by Belgians. Two or three flights a week could be with the B787-8 or B787-9. They offer already flights to Mad, CDG, LHR and AMS. But they are updrading the frequenties ro MAD and CDG bcs of a huge European demand. Why not from Belgium as there is a Mexican and surroundings community too in Belgium.

So who is right!
In deed BRU can be an alternative to CDG and AMS. AMS has slots restrictions, while Air France is struggling.Nevertheless nothing wrong to attract them. BRU offers also flights which AMS doesn't have e.g. in Africa

Delta had the intention to fly with the A330 to BRU but they changed their minds. They will fly instead with the new refurbished cabin and new business class in the B764 to BRU as from the beginning of next year
No, I didn't. I said DL will upgrade both flights to 764's...lumumba wrote: ↑01 Jul 2019, 19:52But Conti764 just said they gone upgrade to A330?!Atlantis wrote: ↑01 Jul 2019, 19:47Delta is the only one of Skyteam who is upgrading from time to time.

I think I read - but contradict me if necessary - that the Belgium China agreements provide for BRU that another Chinese carrier could come if it does not serve the currently served cities of Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen so ...as Cathay did for HKG...Atlantis wrote: ↑07 Aug 2019, 12:26
But two Chinese destinations can come into the spotlights: Xian and Guangzhou. Hainan recently openend the new destination Xian to CDG. Mostly BRU will follow after.
Depending on the agreements between China and Belgium we have to see how many carriers are allowed to fly. If Hainan is the lucky one to fly alone than Guangzhou can be for them.
If an other carrier is allowed too, than I can see this potential for China Southern Airlines, who stepped out of Skyteam Alliance or the sister company Sichuan Airlines who can open Xian. If it could be China Southern Airlines, who is going to work closely with American Airlines, maybe it could be a step too for AA to come back to BRU.
