Delay seems linked to administration / building permits, NOT to current economic situation or change of heart after LH/SN courtship.

By connecting 5 cities in North America (Newark, New York JFK, Chicago, Los Angeles and Toronto) with 5 cities in India (Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Chennai and ?Hyderabad) through a central hub at Brussels, you create not only 5 routes, but in total 35 city pair combinations. That makes it a LOT ...

That seems to be the main course of the package that will be revealed tomorrow. I suspect that interesting times are ahead !

That would imply a new name, new logo, lots of marketing & rebranding,...
I don't think we need to expect that before the new SNBA/VEX structure is more solid and clear. All things in due time.

There should be very good images of the take-off on VTM television. Watch todays news !

That used to be the case in the past. Today, there's only one daily UA flight, directly to Washington IAD.

Sadly, press seems more interested when you block the airport access road or stop handling luggage than with a "friendly" action like this one.

A Brit journalist pulled the same stunt yesterday on the Eurostar. One inspires the other.
Next we'll have the guys of Telefacts or Luc Alloo or some other moron trying their luck at BRU...

shouldn't a body be discovered while in LG space during line maintenance or by the captain's walkaround before take-off ?

Rare visitor : Martinair operated an M11 on BRU, last Friday.

Not so easy. To convince a carrier to fly into BRU, you need to tick each of the following boxes :

o market that allows me to fill an aircraft at an acceptable load factor
o market that allows an acceptable yield (competition at AMS, CDG...)
o availability of an aircraft of practical type for this ...

Is there really enough demand from within Belgium for flights to Paramaribo? It's not exactly an exotic holiday location, is it? It looks to me like these flights will depend almost entirely on Dutch people with roots in Surinam or Surinam nationals living in Holland. I don't think you could even ...

a few more A330's for SNBA would really really make my day, also ! To fill with... patatten? :lol:
You should know better :
- the A330 is not available in full-freight configuration
- SNBA doesn't see dedicated freight flights as a priority
- potatoes are not an interesting product for air ...

Thanks for sharing this picture.
if that is the final schedule, things will get even more interesting for spotters. All it takes is a one-hour delay on the Eastbound flight to have two of these babies at the gate at the same time. .

The new design's nice, but the baby-blue engines and the blue belly look a bit cheesy. Red - or a darker blue - would have been stronger.

... but don't think I'm picky : a few more A330's for SNBA would really really make my day, also !

Just imagine a Brussels Airport home based carrier operating 58 triple sevens !
Even a Brussels Airport home based carrier operating ten triple seven would be nice... heck, even with four they'd be the biggest long-haul operator ex BRU... !!!
