As a passenger point of view, this airline (SN) is nothing more than a plaything in LH's hands... There is no real long-haul network. Fortunately, other airlines serve Brussels, and CDG and AMS are within easy reach.

Well, goodbye than... No company should hold a government hostage.


At Bordeaux-Mérignac, Ryanair walked away completely (canceling all flights) because the authorities refused to bow to its demands. Volotea and Transavia have now taken over the slots Ryanair abandoned, and—in my view—that is ...

Due to crew duty!

Thanks, but it's no clearer than before.

SN has very rarely been able to fly 10 long-haul flights at the same time even though it has 11! That's how it is. The problem is recurring and not new ! Russian roulette ! Today it's ...

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

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

LATAM announces a codeshare agreement with Brussels Airlines to expand connectivity with Europe

The destinations included are: Sweden (Stockholm and Gothenburg), Germany (Berlin, Frankfurt, Hamburg and Munich), Denmark (Copenhagen), Switzerland (Geneva and Zurich), Poland (Krakow and Warsaw ...

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 ...

So, SN will soon be faced with hard competition on its Kinshasa and perhaps future Lubumbashi destinations. Time to look for new l/h opportunities in Africa or elsewhere!
