It seems that both A330NEO's will leave the fleet:

Air Belgium ceases passenger operations (in Dutch):

You are ABSOLUTELY not correct, it’s not absolute science, but nothing more than your personal interpretation!
There are two camps, they both have their arguments, just respect the other one’s and stick to your own conviction, but please don’t state the other ones are plain wrong!


Actually I ...

If you look at this from this side, and yesterday also during the presentation, it is visible that the Belgian flag is up side down, red/yellow/black. I know why, bcs it works like a mirror, but in fact it is absolutely not correct


This is ABSOLUTELY correct! The way Air Belgium paints it is ...

Three Airbus A320neo to join the Brussels Airlines fleet in 2023

Tuesday, June 29, 2021 — Today, the Lufthansa Group Executive Board and the Board of Directors of SN Airholding have authorised the allocation of three Airbus A320neo to Brussels Airlines. With these new state-of-the-art aircraft ...

Interview in VTM Nieuws with Decroo:

Stef Wauters (News anchor): It's known that Carsten Spohr asks 8 to 9 billion from the German government but that he doesn't want any governmental input in return. Can we expect the same here?

Decroo: If you don't want any governmental input, you shouldn't ask ...

Sounds bad.... now what ?


If the government stands their ground either LH will have to give in eventually or find funds elsewhere. Or they can let SN go bankrupt in which case the government *might* pick up the pieces for cents on the dollar and nationalise the airline. Or the government can ...

La Libre Belgique and L'Echo say that a State support of €390M including 25% of Beeline capital has been rejected by Lufthansa.

New article from "Het Nieuwsblad" in Dutch: https://www.nieuwsblad.be/cnt/dmf202005 ... bpOsVsM1z8

Belgian government wanted to invest 390 million EUR (for 25% stock), LH declined the offer and stopped the negotiations.

And no double standards please. Air Belgium has just received state aid. Again. Sonaca jas just received state aid. Objections here? None.



Not sure about Sonaca but Air Belgium received money from their stockholders, which includes the Wallonian region, so technically that's not state aid ...

Daar is 'm zene :roll:



He has a point regarding LH. You just can't expect the Belgian government giving out a couple of hundred million EUR (even if it are loans) and then having LH using those funds to benefit LH. LH never was a good parent for SN and so it's quite understandable that they ...

Exactly. SN wants to focus on business destinations and on long-haul feeder routes. But this does not exclude tourist destinations, some of which (the most profitable ones) will be maintained.


From what I heard in the press conference the main focus seems to be business, so it seems that SN is ...

I'd rather fly longhaul in any A320 compared to the Boeing 737 which is quite frequently used for TATL flights. But a wide body is even better off course.

According to the 15th Wing Air Transport on facebook, the planes will not get an 'air force' livery. Just a few emblems will be added. :roll:

No money for a bit of paint? Air Force/Government jets with a generic corporate livery? Very unprofessional... #onlyinbelgium


Was expected since they ...

Almost seems that KF is flying more during covid times then before covid times

How can you make plans while nobody knows what will be allowed, when, and which countries will eventually accept tourists?

Stop spreading nonsense, please.


In normal times JAF would indeed be leasing other planes as they do so virtually every year and on top of that they have the MAX issue ...

Well said, and now saying BA is important to lufthansa is ridiculous if you see how they treated it. Old planes, no clear future plans, no willingness to let them expand into markets that are served from Frankfurt,...
They are just keeping BA to keep competition away from their backyard.


What ...

According to Gérard Gaudin from Belga press agency, the two Falcon 7X aircraft of the Belgian Air Force belong to Abelag Aviation (now called Luxaviation). The first one is registered OO-LUM (for LU cht M acht) and the second OO-FAE (for F orce AE rienne).


We still need OO-LUW ( LU ft W affe ...

I am puzzled by the registration of this Falcon 7X (OO-LUM). I can understand that it has no longer a military registration, as it does not belong to the Air Force, but to a private company from which the Air Force is leasing the aircraft. But I'd like to know the name of this company.

It doesn ...
