Re: Brussels Airlines in 2024

On the long haul SN is covering sub Saharan Africa. By any means, these are not premium markets and high yield destinations. In most of the group companies, if flown, such destinations are part of the leisure offering of certain subbrands. And having said that yes, SN is not a premium brand. It doe...

Re: BRU Summer 2024: news, new routes, airlines

Let's start (or continue) guessing. Some were already announced before, so they are not part of the game (SN to Nairobi, UA second daily to Newark, AC to Toronto, SQ tot SIN ...)? Two that are already operating to BRU ... (hm, hm) - Hainan to Shanghai - United to San Francisco ( :D more wishful thin...

From S24 it will even be above the pre-covid level as there will be 10 A330-300 instead of 6 A330-300 and 4 A330-200
Were it not 8 A333 and 2 A332?

ANA from Narita will become daily with 787-9 from 31/03/2024.
BTW: I forgot to ask where you found this information?

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal

Now OO-TCV is in the pain shop @EMA ...
It seems they use the winter season (logic) to do more paintings and maintenance.
Some are 'in preparation' @BRU; not sure what that means since it is not necessarily the new planes (OO-TCH)
Are there maybe also adaptations to the interior?

Wow, from 2/w to 7/w?

I would have expected they would grow slowly, and increase the number of flights in different steps.

Re: BRU Summer 2024: news, new routes, airlines

2024 and 2025 will be interesting to follow. For this year, the prediction (not only prediction, but already confirmed seats/reservations, is to have 2 million pax more than in 2023. 2024 should end up with >25 million pax. Majority has to come via long haul and new long haul flights. If I got the ...

Re: BRU Winter 2023-2024: news, new routes, airlines

Hi guys, story saver While we lack precise information on this matter, it is confirmed that they are set to receive nine A350s by the initial quarter of 2024. This acquisition is poised to substantially enhance their capacity, particularly on routes to Europe. Not sure what you are talking about :(

BRU used to have many long haul carriers at the end of the nineties(VASP/China Eastern/Cubana/US airways/American to name a few) and before that even more BUT the Big 3 (EK/QR/EY) from the Middle East with their low fares and good service took every other competition away..And there is also the fac...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2023

There isn’t any more space on the NEO, the opposite in fact, due to the lager bins, which are a nice addition, the NEO is a bit less spacious. Legroom is exactly the same. In terms of seating it depends where in the cabin you look (compared to SN's standard A320) - First row is the same - Then you ...

Re: Brussels Airport compared to other European airports

Hi all, Not so sure the number of inhabitants of the country itself is important. You need to compare catchment areas: BRU is not only the 11,5 million Belgian inhabitants (fairly well distributed around BRU), but also the Southern part of The Netherlands, Luxembourg, small part of Germany and (part...
