After two years of absence, SNBA will re-open on the 25th of August a new trice daily connection between Eindhoven and Brussels with a bus. The route will be done in cooperation with BIAC.
I've put the dutch text in the dutch section of this forum, you can see it here

SNBA re-opens the route between Brussels and Eindhoven
Moderator: Latest news team
Living in Turnhout and travelling a lot on the belgian highways, including the E34 (Antwerp-Eindhoven), I regularly saw the Sabena bus shuttle.
As far as I can remember, I never noticed any person on board, except off course the driver ...
I agree that this business decision seems not to be a great one, but hey ... who am I?

Then why do they say in their press release that there is a demand for that route
Was Sabena also working in cooperation with BIAC on that route or not, because this time SNBA is doing it with BIAC
I don't understand, who takes such decision at SNBA Why don't they know it's not profitable

I used to be blocked in the bottlenecks of the Brussels ring together with another SN bus shuttle failure: the bus to/from Valenciennes. There also I rarely saw one or two passengers in a 50-seat bus!BBKing wrote:As far as I can remember, I never noticed any person on board, except off course the driver ...

Because a press release must make things look nice to justify a decision in front of the shareholders. There IS demand for flights in Brussels from passengers in the Eindhoven area. But they go faster taking their own cars: see the number of yellow plates in the parkings of BRU!Avro wrote:Then why do they say in their press release that there is a demand for that route ?

Re:
This is a topic from 2003 indeed. And with an update from 2018: Dutch newspaper ED/ Eindhovens Dagblad has published a few photos from these Sabena helicopter operations Brussels-Eindhoven-Brussels:

Re: SNBA re-opensthe route between Brussels and Eindhoven
Nice memories indeed. But there were no stewardesses on board the Sikorsky helicopters. They had two separate compartments of each 6 seats facing each other 3-3.
I fondly remember flying Liege (Palais des congrès) - Brussels Airport - Brussels City (Allée Verte) and return in the late 1950es.
