BRU Winter 2016-2017: news, new routes, airlines

[ezis_bis]

The only thing is their hub is in Campinas some 100km away from Sao Paulo and is not in the main airport of Guarulhos airport.

Traffic and accessibility in Sao Paulo of the other two airports is very difficult. It can take 2h+ to get from one airport to the other, the city is very congested
By that time, you are in Campinas, in time spent getting to the airport there is no issue

Plus, Azul can offer connections in Campinas, which I suppose is a must

Hi all,

Strange that they move Bratislava to Charleroi since there is no competition at all in BRU for that route.

Ryanair was planning a big expansion from W16-17, no? Is that still going through or has that changed with the attacks of 22/03. I though the new routes included e.g. Hamburg ...

Anyone knows what is the pipeline?

Cheers,
Danny

According to luchtvaartnieuws.nl and other international media Scoot (the LCC of Singapore Airlines) is planning to fly to 3-4 European cities in 2017. One of it's managers claims it won't be a 'traditional European destination'... Could Brussels be a possibility?

The first European destination for Scoot will be Athens. so no Brussels (yet?)

BRU might be one of the next destinations of Scoot. Even though I would prefer if Singapore would perform the route...

[Atlantis]

Some Middle or East European destinations also can be. Those destinations like Warsaw are very interesting for such kind of carriers. Asian and the ME carriers transport a lot of passengers from there bcs their own home carriers have a lack of aircraft and network. So I would not be surprised to see them also in East Europe.

BRU would be great, but maybe more Singapore Airlines than

No idea if it has been reported but SN will fly 3 times a week to Tenerife instead of 2, look like Canary Island is a great success. Maybe they could open Fuerteventura and Lanzarote as well.

During the period december 16 - february 17 DKR and BJL will get a direct flight on friday instead of BRU-BJL-DKR.

I don't understand, SN never had any BRU-BJL-DKR flight, DKR has always been direct as the rotation is BRU-DKR-BJL-DKR-BRU

[crew1990]

I just checked the website, it look like the rotation BRU-DKR-BJL-DKR-BRU will stay but there will be an extra BRU-DKR-BRU and an extra BRU-BJL-BRU! 3 A330 the same day for Dakar and Banjul! There must be a mistake somewhere.

Also if there is only 1 direct flight to Banjul per week, it means that the crew need to stay a week on the destination!

[airbuske]

Instead of BRU-DKR-BJL-DKR-BRU it will be now
BRU-DKR-BRU and BRU-BJL-BRU. So two direct flight to BJL and DKR.

NAP, OPO and SVQ are new destination in the winter timetable, OPO was logical as TAP Portugal stopped the route

[lumumba]

But with TAP it was a daily flight if I remember well!

[CTBke]

with a F100 or Embraer, now it'll be on the Airbus

Thank you, I didn't check the German part of the website

[CTBke]

for now they'll say it'll be Salzburg-Brussels-Salzburg, but it can easily be Brussels-Salzburg-Brussels if Lufthansa reveil their plans with Brussels Airlines ...
