BRU is removed from the list and cannot be selected on their website booking engine anymore.
BRU is still listed on the list. You won't see it on the main page, however.

Re: BRU Summer 2013 - Latest News: routes, airlines

I wasn't planning to post anything on any forums this year, but in this case it can't be described within 140 characters so here's your explanation. The speculation started when the weekly OAG thread appeared on airliners.net. Despite that weekly thread covers the stuff I don't report (either I don'...

Re: BRU Summer 2013 - Latest News

I didn't check it again now, but some days ago there were still several routes loaded with RJ85 for S13 (many of these are now operated by Q400 and some by RJ100). Maybe it's just because they didn't decided yet what to do exactly with the capacity on these routes, and as a result loaded RJ85's bec...

Re: Boeing 787 and 748 news

By curiosity, I have looked at the seat map of United's 787, and I was horrified to discover that the economy class will have a 3-3-3 seating. I then looked at other airlines, and I found out that only ANA and JAL have the 2-4-2 seating that was initially in Boeing's mind. LOT, United, Norwegian ha...

Re: BRU winter 2012-2013: latest news, routes, airlines

In general there is closure of several routes during (at least) the winter, or downsizing. I think it is good in order not to lose to much money (even if they do). But they are surely not the only one. Look at LH for example: http://www.airliners.net/aviation-forums/general_aviation/read.main/55640...

Re: Brussels Airlines own flights to Bristol & Newcastle

Don't be fooled; These are just placeholders. The wet lease with BMI regional is coming to an end, so SN just loaded their smallest plane on those flights for the time being.... Expect them to be replaced by Q400 of which a few more are scheduled in the fleet plan. Being replaced by DH4 still repre...

No reall suprise, altough I expected SN to try to operate as fast as possible the first modified A333's to FIH. What routes will it get now? Douala/yaounde, Abidjan,...? BTW, this can't be completly correct: BRU-FIH-BRU is performed only 4 times/week, BRU-LAD-FIH-BRU indeed 2 times/week, but there ...

It's "incomplete" because there are no changes to other African destinations. Yes, but the thing that's not really complete is KGL. It says service remains at 1 weekly, while KGL is operated 4 weekly. 3 times in combination with Entebbe and 1/week in combination with Nairobi, and that's t...
