Dear Kapitein,

Thanks

As already known, EK is coming and 9W will still be flying to BRU.
TG is indeed 4x weekly
EY keeps their schedule as it is, no increase of services
Onur Air has returned the daily IST slots

So the only big question is LC, I heard something about it but now it's again very quiet.

SN plans to restart flights to Accra as from november 2014. Brussels Airlines ceased its own flights to Accra (Ghana) in 2012.

Is this first news of this topic true ? What's the reality ? Thx !

[Atlantis]

Very uncertain when it will be but the next new intercontinental destination ex-BRU will be Japan.
There are already for years the needed negociations between the two countries but it seems that it will not take that long now anymore. Let's hope.

What I heared today was that SN could be taking over 3 destinations of Lufthansa, it would be Accra, Bamako and Libreville.

This would be hard if this doesn't come with an additional plane (from LH?).

[crew1990]

Well, if SN flies to Libreville, it would be probably in connection with kinshasa, Bamako and Accra will probably be in a triangular flight as well. However it s possible that a new 330 will join the fleet next summer.

And they have a plane free that of Washington DC.

[And they have a plane free that of Washington DC.

Only for winter season...they will continue IAD next summer ! So 3 new african destinations for this winter ?

Yes you are right THX.

[sn26567]

That plane has already been earmarked to increase frequencies on some African destinations during the winter season. It is not available for new destinations.

Does LH fly to BKO and LBV?

Does LH fly to BKO and LBV?

Nope. Neither LH, nor any airline of its group (LX, OS, SN, 4U) flies to any of these two cities.

LH do not fly to BKO and LBV but flies 5 times a week to ACC ! So they can give ACC to SN but...BKO and LBV is another thing...

Hi all,

Some time ago, LH was flying to Libreville (don't know the period by heart, but they did). And of course SN flew to Bamaka before.

So I think it is a mixture of taking over a flight from LH (Accra) and re-starting flights that were previously flown by SN or LH.

Makes sense. Even more so because some countries might see more difficulties, e.g. due to Ebola, and be dropped (temporarly).

If they need another long-haul aiircraft for doing so, that aircraft will certainly come.

Everything depends on what they decide in the LH Group, has nothing to do with SN as a separate entity ...

Cheers,
Danny

LH discontinued LBV last December (last flight 23-12-2013) which was a 5 weekly flight operated by Privatair BBJ2 (routing FRA-LBV-PNR-LBV-FRA) and was discussed previously on this board. Before LH it was served by LX from ZRH.
