At the press conference of ANA today (because of the first commercial flight with a 787) ANA said once again they plan to expand the 787 network next year to Europe and North America. The CEO said they are studying the possibility of starting services to Switserland (ZRH I suppose) and Belgium (BRU of course) in Europe and destinations at the West Coast of the US.

I think there is a lot of chance both ZRH (or maybe GVA?) and BRU will see ANA 787's next year. In previous statements (altough not always officially, but statements made by "sources close the the matter") also DUS was mentionned, but with LH starting DUS-NRT ANA doesn't need to start flying to DUS themself.

I've not seen a press release (didn't use the word press release, did I?), but you can read an article on flightglobal with the things that are said on the press conference today:

ANA plans to expand its 787 network to Europe and North America next year, said Ito, studying the possibility of starting services to Switzerland, Belgium and the west coast of the United States.

I know wikipedia is not the greatest website BUT on the page for Brussels Airport it says Brussels Airlines will start flights to New York JFK, Chicago O'Hare and Lagos in the spring of 2012.

Can someone confirm

Well...JFK yes (altough I heard that it could be more halfway 2012 than spring 2012, but it depends on what you see as spring ) I'm quite sure official news about this will come soon, Lagos...maybe (heard some rumours about it, but nothing more, and heard nothing about it lately), ORD...looks very odd to me, but with AA leaving the market SN may have came up with the idea of ORD (in coorperation with UA).

But even IF SN is just looking at ORD, I doubt this can already be confirmed at this time... And spring 2012 looks early to me, I would rather say end 2012 or 2013 for a second (and maybe a 3th) US route.

Seville and Palma de Mallorca Cancelled, as expected! The overall reductions has it something to do with the phase out of some 737?

I think some members here has the access to reservation system too so that explains why it is "as expected".

Also, UA will fly Daily ORD BRU in S12, not 6 weekly.

Brussels Airlines already operate the route almost three times daily (twice daily at the weekend).

In S12 (from March 25) it seems MEA will fly 4 times per week between BEY and BRU on Mon, Wed, Fri and Sat.

No info on whether they will up frequency during the busiest weeks of Summer so far.
