Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal

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 ...

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal

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 ...

Cheers,

Re: BRU Summer 2026: news, new routes, airlines

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 ...

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal

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 ...

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal



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 ...

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?

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.
Air China is expected to launch Chengdu-Tianfu on January 1st, 3x weekly.
CA463 would arrive on Tuesday, Thursday, Sunday at 06h20 and depart as CA464 at 12h30.


This is a short but interesting article on the topic.

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 :D

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 ;)

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

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

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

Overbooking phenomena

Dear all,

Recently I had several cases of overbooking on SN. Leaving for BCN a few weeks ago I was upgraded to business class because this overbooking and they were still looking for several passengers to go on a later flight (in return for 250€). The plane was a A320.

Hi all,

Something I noticed already a few times but I see that a B789 from Hainan landed this morning coming in from Boston. As far as I know they don't fly this route. Is it a special flight (it landed as HU730 at 7:09am, according to flightradar24). Is this freight? But it is a B789 so that would ...
