Berlingske a Danish newspaper says negotiations can take the whole night now. All aircraft have enough fuel to return to homebase. Normally you should be refunded/given an alternative route for your flight tomorrow.

We will know by midnight tonight what the outcome is. Someone in relation to SAS say its 50/50 percent chance of failure/survival. It seemed to be moving to a positive direction but you never know. Lets wait and see for the final outcome and all the best of luck for SAS.

It seems that the Unions have accepted some demands but not all. They have given counter proposals to save money and this needs to be looked at. Lets see but either this will end quickly or it will be an all nighter to find a sustainable solution.

The only problem with FlyBe taking over is that the Norwegian government wants to keep Wideroe in "Norwegian hands" so to speak. So either Norwegian the airline could take over (which I highly doubt it will or Norwegian investors will buy Wideroe or Norwegian firms will buy Wideroe.

Hellenic Imperial last sent 2 Jumbos to Pakistan for the Hajj. This summer they were still there. So they are somehow making money through charters and lease agreements but all scheduled operations have stopped. They didn't have the money for the paintwork of the A340's they were supposed to get.

In the year second half of 2011 and all year of 2012 not less than 5 new airlines have started up in Greece. Most of them are charter companies. Aeolian Airlines has 1 MD-83 aircraft operated/leased by Sky Wings. http://www.aeolianairlines.com/ Astra Airlines although not new has received 2 Airbus A...

I also have a feeling that Olympic Air will join Skyteam. I say this because when they started they mentioned they would head for Skyteam. They have codeshare agreements with Delta and KLM. Also Air France is now starting (or has started) flights to Athens from Marseille, Nice & Toulouse, destin...

Do we have any idea when Qatar will upgrade its services to daily?

Or a rare A 318! That would be nice

I really wish AA would do something interesting like Miami-Brussels or Dallas-Brussels (which I think they did at some stage I could be wrong though) SN might even have enough guts to codeshare with AA on this flight. But lets see, AA is also in a financial mess...

Thank you all for the replies

My parents will travel return on Jet Airways. I will fly with them on Jet Airways but I still need to book a return. Maybe I'll try United Economy Plus on the way back

I know wikipedia is not the greatest website BUT on the page for Brussels Airport it says Brussels Airlines will start flights to New York JFK, Chicago O'Hare and Lagos in the spring of 2012.

Can someone confirm

Dear members, I am planing to fly to the US with my family at the end of the year. We are planing on flying economy class...out of United, Jet Airways, American and Delta which one has the better service in economy or are they more or less the same? It doesnt matter whether we fly into Newark or JFK...

Great news! :D I saw on the facebook website of Brussels Airport: http://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/pages/Brussels-Airport-BRU/153449101365396 That someone commented that AA wants to start Miami-Bru with a 767. I am highly sceptical of this, but you never know. However, the same person mentioned th...

Jöngköping never started. I'm also guessing due to low bookings.

Hellenic Imperial have just added London Gatwick and Kuwait City as destinations.

Until their A321's arrive they will be using the A340 on all their flights.
This means another wide-body on a intra-Europe route for the time being.

as far as i know the A343's are from GF and are x249 anyway the next 2 years they plan to start a lot of new routes. very impressive Yes they also have 2 A321's on order also from Gulf Air. As for their future destinations it seems like they are looking to start services to places that have no airl...

Here is an interview link with Thai, and they mention a possibility of "opening" new routes - I know it doesn't sound like much - but the interview featured primarily Europe (so perhaps BRU) was on their mind? I'm saying this as BRU airport "advertised" or mentioned they were in ...

Very exciting news!
It would be great to get some more longhaul destinations!
However is there a source for this?

Hellenic Imperial Airways has added 2 A321-200 aircraft to its fleet and is looking to add Airbus A340-300 aircraft to expand its operations (including scheduled flights)...they are going to start some interesting routes out of Athens ([un]fortunatley not BRU) lets see how long those routes will las...
