In the past year it seemed the RJ100's would stay around for some more years. But now Gustin telling ATW that they are looking at options to replace the RJ100's as fast as possible and the 'rumours' they are looking at more A319/A320 + Q400 seems to indicate they want to get rid of these RJ100's fa...

I must say that managing an airline is hundreds of times more complex than managing a hotel. However, the hotel business is a labour-intensive industry and margins are very slim. The mistake that most hotel entrepreneurs make is to start with the mindset that they're in the real estate business and ...

Give me the name of another intercontinental airline in the world that has a city name as its main name. Not to make you look silly or anything, but Singapore Airlines, maybe? Indeed, and here we go again. When they needed a new name for a new airline. Sabena felt wrong under the passengers and the...

DEN is the ideal destination for an airline who wants to do a everything at once, yet can't do it all. If you aren't in any alliance and you want to cover as much of the west of the US as possible anyway, then you could indeed think about DEN and work with Frontier to basically do what flanker prop...

So does pretty much any other STAR hub east of DEN, like EWR, IAD or ORD, so why go as far and as thin as DEN just for that? DEN would be a good hub to cover the west coast IF there would be only water to the east of DEN, yet that is not exactly the case, is it? You haven't flown much to the U.S. W...

A second NYC flight might work well, if there is demand for DEN, UA will fly it, same for SFO and probably even BOS. It's not that simple. ;) UA don't have a long-haul hub in DEN nor BOS. They do have one in SFO but it's mostly West-bound. They can't put just one long-haul aircraft at a domestic hu...

If you go by your logic, aren't you only going to consider destinations where nobody else is going then? I doubt you will find many successful routes; likely there's a very good reason why nobody is serving them. I disagree. SN26567 is looking at it from the right angle. Just look at SN and JFK. 5 ...

I don't get all the excitement about SFO nor BOS. SFO is a nice place but it's a second tier city, already served well by European competitors. Also, SFO is not a city that can be operated daily, plus SN doesn't have the right equipment to do it. You would need at least an A343 to do it, as due to a...

Maybe we can start thinking for ourself and not always accept what politician want to make us belief and ask ourself how CRL can 'offer' landing fees of 2 euro and Brussels Airport not... Maybe because BRU sold it off to MAP, instead of de-nationalising or regionalising the airport, which would hav...

TK is going after the oil markets. They're opening up IAH in 2013. Wiki mentions TK opening this month: NSI, DLA, NIM, OUA. Give them 2 years, they will eat up the back of SN's cabin and some of the front cabin - and that's enough to go from black to red. Give them the time to become known. SN needs...

It is clear that most of the 30 million would go to SN. Importance of SN in Africa and other àçé'àçàé'*%. In the Sabena days the impact was much worse, now there are more operators operating to Africa, so it doesn't really matter. And if it does matter because of the "charitable" importanc...

If there are 30 millions for SN, then there should be 50 millions for Ford Genk? And for Volvo in Gent, and Audi in Vorst? And for Arcelor Mittal? And for all the self-employed who can no longer turn to banks for funding, even though they were bailed out by tax money? The difference between this bai...

I think that Ryanair has every right to put pressure on the government, the same way SN has done for Ryanair. For me there are however huge differences between Ryanair and SN asking for subsidies. 1. Ryanair does not receive any state aid from Ireland. Income tax is part of the cost of doing busines...

(Dear mods, someone has hacked my Flanker account. It's very funny.) Well if they're reading, they better read this: their server is down and customers trying to go to their website get an error. Welcome to amateur land. Following error codes: Runtime Error Description: An application error occurred...

You are not going to pay much more for a newer aircraft if the operational savings on the rather short long haul flights like Africa or US East coast are not higher than what you save on the lower leasing costs (and newer A333's are damn expensive!). This is indeed the reason why SN can't afford mo...
