Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal



In other words, C and Y+ passengers subsidize economy passengers...


No, C and Y+ passengers want to pay an extra for better service/better seats to the benefit of the airline.

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal


This week I was for the first time on one of the leased A222-300 of Air Baltic ... Nice experience, very professional crew, announcements (recorded) also in French and Dutch (véry Dutch :D ).

I checked the use of the 4 planes and I see that YL-ABH is currently not flying for SN (see https://sites ...

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal


It's all about economics and nothing else.

First of all , ongoing costs - we speak about used A330, so the average dry lease rate would be like 300k per month? -> you can easily calculate that this costs equalys the opportunity ocst of 1 lost rotation per month, if you count passanger claims ...

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal



It might come back, but you need the right equipment.



I assume that once Air Baltic will put e.g. 2 A220 in BRU we might see cities like BOD, but also Bristol, Birmingham, Billund, Torino ... and others again in the offer of SN.


Actually, Air Baltic A220 have a bigger capacity (145 seats ...

Meanwhile, not only maintenance but also the repainting process is in full swing as it seems. Only 3 A319 left in the old livery. Will they all get a repaint or are they on their way out? Furthermore 6 A320 and 7 A330 still flying around in the old livery, Eurowings included. Any of the regular ...

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal

I notice future OO-SBB is all white. Will it become another Star Alliance, a new Belgian Icon or just delayed in painting for one reason or another?

Remarkable since future OO-SBC is painted in the regular livery.

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal

Just a kind reminder it's low season in European aviation. I'd think they prepare the aircraft now to become operational with the start of the summer season, i.e. March 2023, just as they maximize the maintenance of aircraft this time around.

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2021


Maybe the reason why so many planes (the CX one, the EW one,...) weren't painted in SN colors, was because they knew a new livery and logo was coming? There was no point in paining these aircraft in a c/s that was going away in the near future.


Exactly my thoughts as well. I believe the ...
