SN Brussels codesharing again with LOT Polish Airlines?

Hi,

when i was checking the Brussels Airport timetable i discovered that SN and LOT are codesharing again from the winterseason

When i checked the SNBA site, only their own flights were shown in their timetable, but when you go to the booking page and ask the price for a flight in November e.g. they you will get 5 daily flights available, of with are 2 operated by SN (as the flightnumber is SN2553-2555) and 3 flights were the flightnumber starts with 5xxx (which is used to be for codeshare flights).

Another surprising fact is that SN and LOT were codesharing in the past.
This is a quote from an SN press release dated 26 February 04.

As of March 28 the code share arrangement with LOT on the Warsaw route will discontinue and SN will fly twice daily with own aircraft.

So after a summerseason where both airlines were operating on their own on this route, they've decided to codeshare again.

Hi OO-VEX,

Yes indeed, I took a printed timetable and there it is explicitly mentioned. I guess that they came to the conclusion that they can offer together more than separately (they probably have a strong competition from LCC in Charleroi) ...

Am I right in saying this winter Air Polonia up frequency to Warsaw to 6 or 7 a week and Wizz Air start the Charleroi - Warsaw route

Both, WIZZair (8 am) and Air Polonia 8.25 am) have actually daily flights from CRL to Warshau. But how long?

On the LO/SN codeshare, see https://www.aviation24.be/article6305.html

LO withdrew from the codesharing agreement after joining the Star alliance and the Miles & More FF programme. Probably under the influence of LH who cannot accept that SN is taking its customers away...

But LO must have realised that they have more to gain than to lose from a codesharing agreement.
