Re: Brussels Airlines in 2024
No, it's hydraulic leak according to my source.

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2024
It will not turn them away but it's bad brand image. Showing SN as a secondary airline of the group. In meantime OS is seen better. They are receiving brand new B787 for their long haul ops. SN received a 19 years old A330 from LH. LH is owning SN now already for many years. SN is/was seen as the A...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2024
Rather strange we do not read any feedback from the rather successful strike of last saturday. 🤔 I give you one feedback that illustrates SN’s professionalism level: many cases of severe malaria are now reported amongst the crew. You know the crew are overnighting in “tents” in a National Park lodge...

Re: BRU Summer 2024: news, new routes, airlines
THAÏ will come back in BRU in 2024 (I predict Q4), but no precise date is given yet as it's fleet availability depending. Many Belgian and Dutch major tour-opartors have been made aware of that in december 2023.
I think Atlantis knows it as well, but can't confirm I assume.

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
Just wondering why SN get the -251 series of engines and all the others LH/LX/OS the -271 series of engines on the NEO Because Lufthansa is upset with their current GTF P&W engine issues, and haven't been compensated accordingly. Hence, the next 30 A320neo and next 9 A321neo of Lufthansa will b...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2023
The journey to the city of Kinshasa, where all the hotels are located can take up to 4 hours both way for a layover of just 24h. They found as solution a national park outside with "luxurious" tent... Air France made the choice to send their crew to Brazaville. No other « normal » airline...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2023
In today's La Libre.
I will explain more about where SN's management wants its crew to stay at when they layover in Kinshasa... you will laugh.

Re: Air Belgium in 2023
How could it have ended up differently ?
See by yourself, not even taking into account what happened in 2023... (loss making S.A flights).

Re: Air Belgium in 2023
This new fail for the Belgian commercial Aviation, makes us think to what happened to VG/Delsey Airlines back in 2002/2003. No serious business plan, no feeder, no real interline agreements,... I thought Mr Terzakis was more clever than FVG and Tony Graam. The Covid and Ukraine excuses are just sill...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2023
I'm not an expert, but KF planes are available every day at BRU. Why not a joint venture between SN and KF to replace defective planes at the eleventh hour? KF has an ACMI business. So ?!! I strongly suspect that it is more cost-effective for them to cancel the flight, reroute passengers via UA or ...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2023
Usually, I don't hold back when it comes to SN, but honestly, this is just absurd. :roll: The SN A330 fleet isn't even remotely old, and let's not beat around the bush here. Lufthansa is still flying antiques A340-300s on critical premium routes like CPT, BOM, IAD, JFK, SJO... Swiss isn't any better...

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
On a side note, wasn't SFX suppose to leave the fleet ? It still features the older C-class SN product (but well the current W-class). The reason given for this at the time was that the lease term was much shorter than the others "new" A333s. This may explain why an "11th" is alr...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2023
These A330s aren’t that old at all. Moreover, they come from reliable past operators (CX, SQ, LH, …).

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2023
The situation is more complicated than that. Brussels Airlines is facing significant difficulties with the accommodation of its crews in Kinshasa (and not just there, by the way), and this has worsened in recent months. The city-airport transfers sometimes take up to 4 hours on the dangerous road an...
