Re: SN introduces new seat on A319/A320

wait diminbru, you twist my words here . Of course they install the latest seats in case of building a new airplane or the need of a refurbisment. But in case that a second hand plane with still good seats changes seats, I find it normal that somebody questions that move as eco friendly. I think ai...

Re: Replacement of SN's Avro RJ and B737 fleet

Can anyone tell me if DJL is still in the fleet.
I tracked its last flight and it says BEL9974. Looks like a ferry flight. No?

Re: 6th A330 for Brussels Airlines ?

Malaysia Airlines will start taking deliveries of their new A330-300's from April. Assuming these a/c will replace older a/c, what are the odds that SN will take over another former MH A330-300?

Since yesterday, all Air India flights are executed under one IATA code, AI. Before sunday, all domestic flights were flying under IC (Indian Airlines code).

Re: Replacement of SN's Avro RJ and B737 fleet

According Bloomberg, LH is about to close a deal with Airbus to buy A320neo's.
The article doesn't say if it's for LH itself or for their subsidiaries.

Re: Jet Airways wants to extend cooperation with Alitalia

But now about Canada. This market has a lot of room to grow, AC could easily delink Montreal and Toronto (even with 9W on the market). But if 9W leaves BRU and SN can react fast (only with the help of LH I suppose...) they can take up the Toronto route. I'm quite sure there is a market for it: loca...

OK, so that might be the direction for Jet than. I agree, they will regret it. But that is up to them. It may however create opportunities for SN as well.

Re: Replacement of SN's Avro RJ and B737 fleet

I was tracking the flights of OO-SSP and saw that the last flight was performed on the 29th of Jan. Could this be correct?
Did this A/C leave the fleet or are they changing the seats?
