Because the market was shrinking over the past weeks, no?. Many people who went there for holiday, all these influencers ( ) ... will not go there now.

I am also curious how the other flights are doing: Ethiad, the one flight from Emirates, ...

Hi all,

It seems there is a more general problem with the A321LR since 2 of them seem to be on the ground for more than 6 months and some are just doing 'regular' short flights in Europe. Not sure why you would need those for short flights, very costly I assume ...

Cheers,

Moreover, they have now JFK planned daily and Washington 4/w ... So less capacity available for Africa.

I saw that Dakar is again in triangulation with Banjul and Conakry ...

I am wondering if there are still A333 going for maintenance or repaint this Spring time.

Waiting for OO-SFD to come back, but high season is coming and knowing that a C or D check takes more than one month this would not leave full capacity for the period ...

Still not clear what they did or had to do ...

If the Brussels Airport website is right, Emirates will come back with one flight per day.

Also some flights to Doha would restart. Many are still canceled (second to Dubai, Abu Dhabi, ...)

However, even with flights restored, I think many people will avoid the Middle East anyway, so few ...

Dear all,

I see that Austrian will make use of two E195 planes of Air Dolomiti. Air Dolomiti will get many of those from OS.

Could SN not make use of some by EN operated birds for thinner routes (less capacity needed).

I think about going back to Bristol, Torino, Nurnberg, Bremen ...

What do you ...

It will be the same seat and cabin as Discover, as it was a joint project between Discover and Brussels Airlines, only the colors and the galley will be different. I wonder why Brussels Airlines hasn’t presented the new cabin yet. If it’s a joint project, they might be ready as well.

There are ...

Dear all,

Starting next year there are major changes in the long haul fleet:
- Two new A333 will join;
- Interior will be revamped completely;
- Starlink to be installed, also on this long haul fleet;
- New destinations, additional frequencies and/or de-triangulation to be implemented.

Hi Atlantis,

Is Chongqing not new for the summer season, or as it only for the winter season?

Etihad started using bigger planes, will that continue in summer time?

Before Christmas I was invited to attend , but I was to late to register (was first in, first served)

Anyone succeeded in registering in time?

Cheers from Saint Lucia

Seems now OO-SFC is going to Hong Kong for maintenance, it is already above Austria ...

Yes, also end of last year we had them ...

Not sure that is correct ...

They will have the three A320neo of which two will replace two A319 (extra capacity) and one is for expansion if I got it right ...

Maybe they can also have an additional Air Baltic plane flying for them. I think the LHG has an overall contract for x planes, so they ...

Also to be taken with a pint of salt.

Wow, this is really nice.

I was in Saint Johns, neighboring state (New Brunswick) for work, but also did some walking, iceberg and whale spotting

Thanks to early information, Air China is expected to launch Beijing on January 2nd, 4x weekly.
CA963 would arrive in BRU at 20:20 and leave as CA964 at 22:00, which would be the latest long-haul flight from the airport.

This also means PEK would become double-daily (with Hainan Airlines) on ...

OK, you are right, but this then not a new airline, otherwise you can also count LATAM for a new airline for next year

Danny

If you can't tell, we will speculate :lol:

You speak about airlines, so there is more than one (beside LATAM)?

- Riyadh Airways starting Riyadh
- Air India or Indigo to Delhi or Mumbai
OR
- Air China starting Chengdu
- American starting Philadelphia
OR
another combination of the above
OR ...
