That is just a cargo hold on the regular passenger flight!

strange that they didn't use special flightnumbers...
(like SN1xxx for charters and SN5xxx for codeshares)

thanks for info!

It are just normal Pax aircrafts.

Does this mean that SN will start to seel some cargo space on those flights ?

If yes, why aren't they offering this on all their flights ??

I would think that SNBA only can use spare cargo space on route flights that consistently have spare cargo space available, so meaning on routes that consistently have a low load factor... So actually, I would think this is rather bad news about this route than good news.

I share your opinion,...

so meaning on routes that consistently have a low load factor... So actually, I would think this is rather bad news about this route than good news.

but not for the second part of your conclusion.

SN Cargo offers a lot of direct flights ex Brussels to:

Birmingham, Bristol, London Gatwick, Manchester, Newcastle, Copenhagen, Göteborg, Stockholm, Oslo, Helsinki, Warsaw, Berlin-Tempelhof, Hamburg, Münich, Geneva, Prague, Budapest, Vienna, Bologna, Milan-Malpensa, Turin, Istanbul, Tel Aviv, Lyon, Marseille, Nice, Strasbourg, Toulouse, Barcelona, Madrid, Sevilla, Casablanca

I don't think that all these destinations are having difficulties to find the necessary passengers. I'm rather thinking that the passengers on those flights don't have a lot of luggage, e.g. business people with hand luggage only.

I agree with you, but why aren't they offering this service on each destination they serve ??
