If this is only a negotiating ploy to get steeper discounts from Airbus, it won't work. Airbus is in no position to sell airplanes at breakeven prices. Over the next 8 years, they'll need to fund development of the A350 and rework of the A380, all this while paying late penalties for the A380s and ...

"Accordingly, Ryanair confirms that it will not increase its offer of 2.80 euros per Aer Lingus share," O'Leary said in the letter, posted on Tuesday. His comments knocked Aer Lingus's shares to their lowest level since the bid was announced. They lost 2.1 percent to close at 2.68 euros i...

The financial situation of BruAir is so vulnerable that one commercial mistake can be the end of the company. So it is logic that they don't want to take any risk. They will expand if there is an opportunity but not by all means as some of you are sugesting.

Are Belgian citizens paying a lot money for BA, I don't know, can someone tell me how much money goes to SNBA each year from the government? 0 euro 0 cent! SN BA gets no money whatsoever from the Belgian government (except perhaps that the Belgian government own 30% of Brussels Airport Company, whi...

Johan, EZY has the biggest community of ex-sabena (BELGIAN)pilots, they must be over 100 and they earn 3 to 4 times the Bru...

In the UK the anual duty limit is the same for pilots as for cabin crew. In the daily limit there is an hour difference

It's true that EZY's flight attendants are well paid but triple flights a day ain't no easy job either.

They work pretty hard indeed, but they are limited by UK CAA duty limits.
eg max 900 hrs yearly, or an average of 75/month. They work 6on/3 off and have 6 times 12 days of leave a year.

As I said before no way will they fly to LDN market too saturated! :P They are flying 12 times a day AMS/LONDON, so why not BRU? MAD/BRU was supposed to be the first EZY into BRU, but FR starting MAD/CRL might change that plan. Don't forget that the Australian shareholder of BRU is also an importan...

And it would stop the slavery in the belgian airline industry, as the salary of an EZY trolley dollie almost equals the salary of a BruAir skipper...

Biac people were spotted in Luton by a friend of me. They were trying to SELL the old satelite stands to EZY. And EZY will announce another continental base soon...

If you are ready to pay the market price, you will have one tomorrow. If you want it at a 2002 price you can only dream about it...

Instead of paying money Airbus is offering more A380s at a reduced price as compensation for the late delivery(eg Quantas).
This is costing them less and it fills up their A380 order book, another thing they desperately need.

SN made it clear in their press conference that they are looking for a fourth plane for the long haul fleet. So please wait until they find one at a reasonable price. They are aware of the weak situation with 3 plane :x As it almost december, the new CEO better write a letter to Santa Claus, that i...

Le nouveau BRUSSELEIR est arrivé! like the beaujolais, al lot of publicity but nothing special.
A digrace they abused the 5th anniversery of the bankruptcy of Sabena to get attention from the media.

the S-tail has dissapeared - now BA can finally sail its own, well deserved course :D Its own WELL DESERVED course???? With the slots stolen from SABENA for 1€ and without paying back the initial "loan" of 100 000 000 €? Wonder if a journo will ask these kind of questions on the press con...
