Re: Brussels Airport (BRU) infrastructure: future
Just this week Schiphol announced a new bus station, and Eindhoven a nice terminal expansion project. Meanwhile at BRU... a new footpath at the taxi stand.... The new bus station at Schiphol was already much earlier announced. Aviation24 was weeks behind it with an article. I'm sorry but that seems...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2024
Ryanair is an economic and ecological aberration! Stupid comments on forums pollute more than planes worldwide. Just saying. You mean like one of the most competition distorting situations in all of European airline industry (Ryanair’s position in CRL), right. The only reason it still exists as if ...

Re: Brussels Airport (BRU) infrastructure: future
BRU is a disgrace. One of the worst airports in Europe. Only the Connector and Pier A look more or less up to date. Rest is Sub standard. Ugly. Obsolete.Dirty. Oh please... That's beyond a mere exaggeration. There are certainly things overdue, mosyly the bus station and car drop off is definitely n...

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 Airlines' fleet renewal
OO-SSA is back from the paint shop in East Midlands (EMA), now OO-SSB flew there for its paintjob (yesterday). Only 3 A319 left in the old livery. A bit strange since I thought 5 would leave the fleet to be replaced by the A320neo. Why repainting some when they will leave the fleet in a few months?...

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
Until there is some sort of special new opportunity that arises making anything outside of Africa or secondary North America suddenly a very attractive opportunistic opportunity, there is absolutely no reason to go into a new such very expensive adventure while leaving other more logical and very po...

Re: Lufthansa from September 2023
The history is more complex and you have to look back many decades. Lufthansa had a leisure oriented brand - Condor. It was sold 20 years ago but it remained tied a little bit to LH as LH was offering feeder flights. As long as Condor was belonging to a travel group, there was no real competition. ...

Re: Lufthansa from September 2023
I still see a major difference between the Lufthansa and Swiss subsidiaries: Swiss has only one leisure-oriented subsidiary, Edelweiss, which is flying both long-haul and short/medium-haul, whereas Lufthansa is multiplying brands: If Discover was initially meant to cover long-haul, it has also shor...

Re: Lufthansa from September 2023
What is the difference, for instance, between Eurowings and Discover (or is it Discover Air) ? Discover Airlines (4Y) had never much to do with Eurowings (EW) aside from the name and brand. Long haul under Eurowings (under EW management) was not working well and so LH decided to close that part of ...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2023
Imho, the only question to be answered is, why, inside a major group like LH, SN remains in the red ? Given the apparently low wages and working conditions, why is SN is still in the red ? I don't think It is due to a lack if commitment of their Belgian employées at all levels. Or you could look at...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2023
Just as a help for the future, they also publish everything in English: https://investor-relations.lufthansagroup.com/en/publications/financial-reports.html The PR of Eurowings was indeed quite open for interpretation what they mean exactly. But that's why it's always best to just double-check with ...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2020
An absolutely useless green idea. Easy to circumvent. Example: Ryanair sells a ticket for 40 euros from Vienna to Barcelona, but offers free baggage and meal onboard. Wait... I thought politics should be avoided here? :lol: :lol: :lol: And by the way, do you travel with a piece of luggage when you ...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2020
Is there a proper source for the rumour of LH Group (partially) selling a member? - Was it considered that this might not be an airline member of the group? For years now LHG has been looking at its options for LSG and LH Technik - both being units requiring significant investment to stay at the top...

Re: Lufthansa in 2020
Lufthansa and Fraport plan to form a joint venture to further develop the Frankfurt airport. Is it really necessary? Is it necessary? Maybe not - but if it's like the model they have in Munich (joint-development and operation of Terminal 2 since 2003), that has proven extremely successful for both ...

Re: Lufthansa in 2020
If LH has to buy from Airbus all that they ordered, they might abandon the 777X order from Boeing! Not so sure - for sure Lufthansa wants to delay its 777 deliveries (and possibly cancel or convert part of its order), it has already indicated so anyway. But cancel them because of the Airbusses bein...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2020
Unless they don't need anything anymore from the Belgian government. If LH gets up to 9bn, then that's up to 2bn more than AF + KL needed combined. I doubt that the burn rate of AF+KL combined is almost equal to the burn rate of LH+EW combined, especially as LH has LH Cargo, which must be running w...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2020
Lufthansa staff are now receiving government unemployment money. Rumors are that LH is even paying the salary difference with unemployment, while the workforce is at home watching television. Why the hell are they doing that? If only sitting 'at home watching television' would be paying your bills....

What about comparing SN to TAP? Similar fleet, similar home-market, SN being focused on Africa compared to TAP's focus on South America,... Both member of Star Alliance. But TAP isn't member of a big group. If they can, SN can too? TAP is quite a bit bigger in fleet, revenue (about double or so tha...

Why not follow Italy's example and nationlise SN? And then what? I understand the question, but SN has absolutely no future without being part of a major airline group.
