Re: BRU Summer 2025: news, new routes, airlines

Lower ticket prices? Indeed this this is why I talk about the competion on the route, but the sentence "how is SN hit hard by the deal?" Is refering to number of flights on those routes, thanks for not quoting what I say to use it out of the context. SN still fly the same number of flight...

Re: Brussels Airport (BRU) infrastructure: future

I don't understand the infrastructure at Brussels Airport is very good and nice there is nothing big to do that is my feeling has passenger. Setting aside the U-shape of the two terminals that maximizes distances for connecting passengers, air-side at Brussels airport is overall in very decent shap...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2024

But there aren’t many flights to the USA from BRU. Besides with the pre clearance max originating from BRU will have to be at the airport way in advance, (beats the purpose) and any delays with incoming connecting flights will result in many people missing their flights or flights to the US being d...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2024

From what I understood - and I can be completely wrong but - the pre clearance is part of the project hence it is taking longer than anticipated (the whole SN-AC-UA venture) But there aren’t many flights to the USA from BRU. Besides with the pre clearance max originating from BRU will have to be at...

Re: Alitalia saved by the Government and reborn as ITA Airways

LIN is a short-haul airport. Short-haul air travel within Europe is going downslope, like it or leave it. Sooner or later LIN is going to close, or at best be limited to general aviation. Same as happened in Berlin. When they closed Berlin airport it was a courageous political decision I'm not sure...

Re: Alitalia saved by the Government and reborn as ITA Airways

Re: BRU Summer 2024: news, new routes, airlines

I doubt that SN will be allowed to codeshare with a Chinese airline flying over Russia. As the EU is trying to maximise the impact of existing sanctions by closing loopholes, I think it’s only a matter of time before aircraft overflying Russia will be denied entrance into EU airspace. Very tricky s...

Re: Lufthansa in 2024

When LH will buy ITA, it will create direct competition for SN on the Africa flights. Not on the majority of course, but ITA is deploying the brand new A321neo, with super business class and Premium economy, on Africa flights like Dakar and Accra. Italy has also a big African community. For them se...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2024

Problems would be solved had everyone in this country been bilingual, the way it should be. Not being bilingual in a small and diverse country like Belgium or in the least possessing a working knowledge of the other language is a personal shortcoming in my opinion. We’re in the heart of Europe, not ...

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal

Why is there no curtain between business class and economy class on SN european flights? LX, LH, OS flights have always a curtain between these classes. On the other hand: a curtain for one row looks strange ;) On a flight from AGP to BRU two weeks ago, there were only 2 passengers in business, sit...
