Brussels Airlines in 2017

[Passenger]

There are absolutely no signs at all that TML will go south in the next 5 years. One can not predict the future of course, but this year tickets were again soldout within the hour.

Indeed. I've just checked their annual account, and they are doing super good. Though 2014 was a bit better then 2015, both for turnover and for nett profit. Own assets raised to 4,589,854 € and that's the first figure bankers look at. for sure: Amare will fly for 5 years.

This caught me by suprise. I didn't know they were preparing another Belgian Icon logo jet.
Also a bit surprised that there was no big event organised like SN used to do with the other logo jets.
I will be able to see this aircraft in real soon, normally flying on it in a few days..

There was a big event, but the journalists and others (+-1000) received an announcement about Tomorrowland news, they were blindfolded on a bus and brought to the hangar. Where a big party was waiting.

Don't underestimate the importance of this festival for Belgium. It's enormous and priceless. Not a single government-funded promo-campaign on CNN has ever done what this festival has done for the image of our country.

That's true for Europe and maybe other parts of the world but it the US the brand is tainted after Tommorrowworld 2015 was one of the biggest disasters in the history of EDM-festivals, it's even been cancelled since. www.billboard.com/articles/news/dance/6 ... -attendees

Wow, I love it...
I think Tomorrowland should post the video on their youtube page as well... They haven't dont it (yet?)
They did post it on their FB page (355K views)

The festival is huge in the world. I was in Malaysia last year and the only thing I heard what that I came from TML...

I agree in the US and maybe Brazil (Latin America) it has a bit of a negative context, yet I think this is more for the festivals on American soil, not the one here in Belgium.

I am absolutely no fanboy as there are many of them around, but truly: what a great and inspiring livery once again. Very well done!

[BRUflyer]

Anybody doubting the global appeal of tomorrowland should check out "people of tomorrow", a VRT docu that can also be watched on Netflix. From Sri Lanka to Kenya, fans of EDM are longing to head to Belgium for Tomorrowland.

It's not my kind of music, but there's no denying millions upon millions of people know Belgium because of this festival. So I think it's very clever of the Brussels Airlines marketing department to team up with the festival.

And the livery looks stunning. Though I'm not that big a fan of the green engine nacelles

Not my kind of event either but indeed, I was in India two weeks ago and the guy at the reception desk at the hotel immediately said "from Belgium...ah...Tomorrowland, amazing" . Great way of promoting Belgium...and SN.

Like Tolipanebas said in a previous post, I think we can all agree on the fact that brussels airlines has -once again- outdone itself on the PR front!
And of course, also no doubt on the fact the Amare colour scheme will be well noticed/appreciated all around!

I also like this way of painting planes in different ways I remember in the 90s that BA painted there tails with different artists that was also very nice.

Did anyone show the belly or Amare yet? (It is the first SN aircraft with a belly painting)

OO-SNF "Amare" belly

Not quite clear but is there a spelling error? I can only see OMORROWLAND, can't seem to find the T?

The 'T' is well masked by the light blue backdrop on which it is painted.

Am I the only one who does not really like this livery? It is really too much for me. I am probably a little conservative, but I prefer more sober, less kitsch liveries (eurowhites, or; if special; things like the 'All Black"-livery of Air New Zealand). To me the Tintin, Trident, and Tomorrowland planes look so cheap. The Magritte one is the only one that is more tasteful in my opinion.
