Since they won't ge getting any new planes in the near future, it's the only option they have, isn't it? Or do they have some aircraft on the ground during the day?

And here is the press-release: SN Brussels Airlines adds Bukarest to its network via code-share agreement

Yet another (operated by) codesharing.

Tarom is codesharing partner number 20 after Alitalia, British Airways, Czech Airlines, Iberia, Finnair, Swiss, Hellas Jet, American Airlines, LOT Polish Airlines, Croatia Airlines, Air Portugal, Malev, Portugalia, Ukraine International, Lithuanian Airlines, Cyprus Airways, Bulgaria Air, Malmö Aviation, and Pulkovo which is the only airline whose - seasonal - flights are exclusively operated by SN Brussels Airlines.

Who is the next one, or should I say who is left?

The expansion (read: codesharing) policy of SN Brussels Airlines has become so pathetic, that I can't describe it with words ... so I changed my avatar.

Well codesharing is good if it enables an airline to serve destinations it can't itself

Yes, but when you have so many partners where you hardly operate any flights with your own equipment then the customer will certainly have some questions. Like: Why should I book SN if I don't fly in an SN plane, don't have the service they offer etc..

Codeshares are good in some extend but you shouldn't exaggerate like SN is doing.

They could at least have flown a few times a week with their ARJ to OTP.
