The economic mission to Los Angeles and San Francisco will be from 4 till 12 October 2025. Also mobility is part of it.


The mission to Brazil brought nothing to BRU while many Belgian companies do excellent business there.

Mission to India so far nothing for BRU.
Belgian companies again ...

2025 looks promising, a couple of new routes already announced. If we see how the Asian market is/would be served from BRU. Who would thought couple of years ago.. :)
Hainan, Singapore, Thai, Cathay.
The North American market is still a challenge. Even a 2 daily New York is hard work. What are ...

Nice come back of TG today, on a daily basis with the Boeing 788 Dreamliner and very nice pictures of this event reported here on aviation24.

Finally, they flew in november and december 2021.
And they also flew in 2022. From January until April and in July and August (last flight). The plane even ...

Nice come back of TG today ...
Better in BRU winter 2024-2025

Shouldn't the detailed SN program be part of the more specific Brussels Airlines summer 2025 topic.

So a maximum of 10 LH flights a day.
An elevent A333 joining the fleet.
Always at least one plane ready on the BRU ground to replace a canceled flight ?

Thanks.

I am native french speaking, I speak several languages and Dutch. I don't care the language origin of the winning frame.
Flanders field is fantastic.
Atomium is a good choice as international image and marketing.

Cheers.

@ Atlantis.

Thanks.
So, back to Léon Verhallen short list with AI and Delhi for instance. India is a potential spot, isn't ?

Mid November there will be the royal trade mission to Brazil. LATAM also announced that they will expand their long haul fleet with extra B789. Plan is 2 long haul planes per year. They will expand intercontinental.


Hi, one year ago indeed you were talking about 2 or 3 new long haul airlines ...

Obviously, adding an amount one more A333 to the fleet each year, in 2025, 2026, 2027, is not to open north american destinations but keeping on developping their core business that is Africa.

Not sure that is necessary. I was travelling back through Vienna on Friday (coming from Chisinau) and I saw an A380 from Emirates with only one bridge at the gate. So it is clearly not a must, it depends just on demand ...

D

If Emirates is expecting a triple bridge, I think that would be ...

Thai, winter 2024-2025.
Latam, summer 2025.

For sure changes need to happen. Informing people correctly might be where it has to st
Brussels Airport is a little airport, far from being busy. I hope it will expand up 100% of its capacity.


The term little is overkill, even if not at 100% of its PAX capacities, if we consider that it is the ...

Hello,

They are difficult to be compared.
SN is more like a network airline with leisure destinations.
LG network covers Europe and Mediterranean leisure destinations.
A big difference beside the different size is that only SN has a long haul fleet.

Luxair : 2.05 million passengers transported in ...

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 ?!!

Flying (long haul) on SN has become like playing the lottery.

As long as LH refuses to invest in a decent (in size), modern long haul fleet for SN, these things will continue to happen and customers will run away.



(in the meantime: 787's for OS, A350's for LX)

(as for SN: "here's 1 extra ...

Thai explore to order 95 new jets.
Many wide-bodies.
Are there talks to make them come back?
By example for next spring ?

Anyway great news coming from both SN and SQ.


Thai has already expressed their wish to return to BRU next year "as a seasonal route" but we don't know exactly when ...

After reading all the comments (and not being an expert myself) the question which comes to mind now is : is it still worth for SN to fly to Luanda ?

As crew1990 say, there is a will to keep that beloved connection alive

I think at least 30 years since the Sabena days.
Not far from FIH for ...

I know it's not that simple (KF is not a network Airline) but could't KF/SN/LH unify their (African) network in BRU ? Just as a win-win situation ?


Besides, any such arrangement would benefit KF much more as SN already has wide use of a similar network thru the LH group and the Star Alliance ...

Thank you for these informations.

About TG let´s hope that they will be back for the winter season.
For everyone.
Maybe we could visit Buthan and only Bangkok and India give a connection.
As FRA or AMS connection makes the travel too much long.
If no TG, first choice would be a ME3 flight ...
