To be honest, Fortis was Lippens, AFAIK Davignon came after the downfall to clean up the mess.

If anyone understands, please let us know

Maybe a sudden influx of Chinese airlines at AMS may have something to do with it, or EK substituting its passenger aircraft for cargo aircraft at AMS (now 26 cargo flights a week)

I'm sure Lufthansa is aware of this also KLM is partly state owned Brussels Airlines is 100% a private company. KLM is 100% owned by Air France - KLM SA, in which both the French and the Dutch state have a stake (both around 14%). I'm not sure that Germany would be happy to be used to save a foreig...

SN must become a network airline, like the other cousins... Brussels Airlines is part of the Network Airlines (at least reporting wise) as of January 1st and no longer belongs to the Eurowings segment. But why the hell this little line between the ones on the left, and the ones on the right ? Maybe...

For those who wander why SN cannot achieve what LX can, the answer is, imho, that there was no willingness from LH/CS. And the Swiss government did all it could to prevent LCCs to fly to ZRH, which is possible for Switzerland since it not a member of the EU or even the EEA. ZRH is a much higher yie...

This is why to me short flight should be replaced by train service directly from BRU but being sold as a flight like Air France is doing for Brussels. So a passenger book the entire trip via the booking system but instead of an A320, you get a train. It doesn't make any thing about the pricing as t...

Air Belgium expects to restart on June 24th.

Germany is indeed considered Central Europe for these awards. BRU competed against Dutch, British, Irish and French airports. Aha ! That's like awarding the best cars in Europe without Porsche, Audi & BMW... :roll: It's an award for "Best Airports in Western Europe 2020". ZRH and ZRH ...

Compensation can come in different forms, it doesn’t have to be cash by the way. I know that: in the case of Ryanair, it comes in the form of a serious discount on future deliveries. And since today, as an exclusivity on future deliveries (as there will no longer be Airbus deliveries to Lauda). Rya...

This is the time for SN to cut ties with Lufthansa.

AF/KL would welcome your thoughts. They would be greateful if they can have the whole area from The Netherlands till France for themselves.

A question about those nightstops like they are called: if their only reason is to feed intercontinental planes leaving in the morning, why not have those leave a few hours later so the planes feeding can go up and down in Europe first???? The nightstops are there top caputure the business market w...

I agree with most of the points, conditions, the Belgian government is asking from LH. But regarding lay offs, I think they have to be realistic in this. It will happen. Also KLM is going to cut in employees after huge loses. It's almost a requirement from the Dutch government as it wants a "h...

First of all, I don't think you should play bluff with CS/LH but you shouldn't give them SN for free without some guarantees for the future - that can include more European and longhaul destinations. One must be glad if many of the destinations are kept. Loans aren't free money either (at least not...

LH's supreme interest in SN was not SN itself but the fact of being able to control the non-presence of other operators at BRU You can better say, LH needed to ensure that AF/KL didn't get control over Africa and BeNeLux or IAG getting too close to LH Group's main market (Germany). This is still tr...

The Dutch NOS Journaal aparantly visted Brussels Airlines as they had an item on SN showing that SN needed to perfomr checks on its aircraft to remain flyable. Though a short segment it's good PR for SN as it was shown in the main NOS news (usually around 2.5mn viewers nowadays).

There is zero chance the pax market will resume as strong as it was... might take 3 years, if ever So keeping ABC is the biggest challenge of LGG i suppose As mentioned before, ABC uses ad hoc slots at AMS. ACN (Dutch slot coordinator) has put Local 2 on hold till June 6th. After June 6th (or later...

The 2008 crisis was spurred exactly because somebody in the White House decided on purely ideological reasons not to rescue a systemic piece of the global financial industry (i.e. Lehman Bros). Bailing them out for a few billions would have saved the whole world a huge amount of pain and misery, an...

Hi There will be no restrictions for cargo in AMS after this crisis..Simple reason:enough slots now that pax traffic will me much declining..For example KLM is becoming smaller..So , no I don't think Air Bridge will return to LGG..Same in BRU here..We lost LATAM to AMS..For good I'm afraid.. gtz pa...

I thought LGG was connected to the nato pipeline, its not enough apparently, weird because other sources mention the traffic is barely increased... Airbridgecargo alone could potentially generate much more traffic than this no ? Will you ever survive that ABC story? The number of long haul flights ...

Rigarding the aerial surveys: it's an ideal weather for that too... Regardless of corona. Moreover, the aircraft can fly at a height usually reserved for airliners. This is a thing especially around busy airports where they can now do their business without having to deal with the approach paths. F...
