Brussels Airlines joining Star Alliance in December 2009

[RoMax]

Just found a picture of the Q400 of Augsburg Airways (Lufthansa Regional) that is operating the 3 daily BRU-HAJ (Hannover for the non-experts) route. The Lufthansa Regional titles are removed, only the "operated by Augsburg Airways sticker" is still there. Next to the front door there is a little sticker (only good visible if you are close to the aircraft or entering the aircraft) "Flying for Brussels Airlines".
The first picture is the aircraft now, the second before it was flying for SN.
Is there also this kind of sticker on the BMI ERJ's operating Bristol and Newcastle for SN?

The codeshares with Continental Airlines and Air Canada are being developed.

There are now in place.

SN will codeshare on the following CO services:

• EWR-BRU
• EWR-CLE
• EWR-DFW
• EWR-FLL
• EWR-IAH
• EWR-MCO

CO will codeshare on SN flights between BRU and nine other cities in Europe, as well as 12 cities in Africa.

CO will codeshare on SN flights between BRU and nine other cities in Europe, as well as 12 cities in Africa.

Europe: Bologna, Hannover, London Heathrow, Lyon, Marseille, Paris CDG, Toulouse, Vienna (which makes only 8 cities; I don't know about the 9th)
Africa: Abidjan, Cotonou, Accra, Monrovia, Bujumbura, Nairobi, Dakar, Banjul, Douala, Entebbe, Kigali, Ouagadougou, Yaounde (which makes 13 and not 12, but strangely enough without Kinshasa)

Just one funny remark, the new Continental timetable still sports the Skyteam logo on its first page, whereas the second page proudly proclaims that Continental is a member of the Star Alliance. Difficult to get rid of old habits...

Newcastle, is the 9th.
Abidjan is not included, that makes 12.

FIH often falls out of the "collection of codeshares". I think this is because of the local autorities. They don't allow every codeshare with every airline, if they allow it, it takes a lot of time.
