Re: Strikes affecting Belgian airports in 2022

I understand the staff for striking, I understand the position SN is in.

Brussels Airlines has no future, unfortunately.

Re: Strikes affecting Belgian airports in 2022

Why do french speaking Belgians always have the idea others have to adjust to their language? Is it that hard to bring up the respect of learning and speaking dutch?? Why does Brussels Airport use the city of Brussels for its branding and marketing then ? As far as I know, only 5 to 7 percents of B...

Re: Kuwait Airways and Saudia expand Europe routes

Wasn't Kuwait Airways once cited as a possible route from BRU?

Once more, I repeat, a bunch of AMATEURS. And I stick to it (the "bollekes" episode of the rebranding being another proof).
And how would they have gotten those pax to MUC?

Re: Air Belgium in 2021

Half-on-topic They lack over a hundred officers and have virtually no condidates to fill the gap. Any ideas why? I'd assume it's not too bad of a job or a workplace? It's federal police. Cadets who leave the academy are mostly formed for the local police, where they often get better offices, better...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2021

I don't understand why there should be any Belgian flag or colors on an SN plane? Other legacy carriers don't have it... KL has no Dutch flag, nor the 'national' coloŕ (orange), neither has LH, OS,... Air Belgium does, but is has the name 'Belgium' in it, as does AF, IB, AZ,... The 'Belgian identity...

Re: BRU Summer 2023: news, new routes, airlines

As for whether A++ would "let" them enter the markets, the days of scheduling twice-hourly 777s at rock-bottom fares between city pairs to drive a new entrant's twice-daily E145s out are for the most part long gone, thankfully. But is still is competition, specifically on a highly competi...

Re: BRU Summer 2023: news, new routes, airlines

American Airlines will receive in 2023 the new A321XLR. They will fly from several American cities such as Philadelphia, Boston, Charlotte and Chicago to thinner secondary European airports. Important in here is that they look again at Brussels Airport to launch such flight. Fingers crossed Would A...

Re: Air Belgium in 2021

If you go 'behind the scenes' a vast majority of staff is french speaking. Really? To settle the issue, some official figures: The airport employs workers from all provinces of the country, the centre of gravity being in the provinces of Flemish Brabant (40%) and Antwerp (17%), followed by the Brus...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2021

To be honest, I don't see Brussels Airlines changing now their identity, by wasting a huge amount of money repainting the fleet while 2 years ago, they didn't want to make a complete painting on some of the a330's to spare some Euro's. You work for SN, don't you? Any rumours from the workfloor? ;)

Re: Air Belgium in 2021

BRU is far from that and in a bigger scope a regional airport on itself, compared to other major airports. Now many airlines have BRU bound or originating pax transferred to major hub airports. They'd rather serve the Brussels and Belgian market directly from BRU i.s.o. CRL. Which has nothing to do...

Re: Air Belgium in 2021

usually less crowded regional airports are getting ready to cope with more long-haul traffic, thereby alleviating the bigger airports. Isn't that more so to regional airports which serve a city with a major airport that is near full capacity? BRU is far from that and in a bigger scope a regional ai...
