Re: Brussels Airlines in 2025

I assume to make Luanda profitable you preferably have feeder connections with Brazil which Lufthansa does have in Frankfurt.

Re: Lufthansa in 2024

I read the article on the home page about Air France eying 20% stake in Air Europe. The article mentions also interest of multiple partners. Does anyone has any idea to what extend LH is interested to acquire Air Europe. I read that in the past a delegation from LH went to Madrid but no further ...

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal


A bit disappointed nothing is mentioned since March on new routes to the US with star Alliance partners... No details on this US Africa hub seem to have leaked...


Interesting article. Nothing really new. Growth to expect from 2026 onwards (especially) from UA.

Also timing of 2nd daily Newarks ...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2024

A destination we don’t talk too much on this forum is perhaps Helsinki. What could be the reason SN is not flying to this European capital city? I know it’s not a star airport but traffic, yields and transfer possibilities are not high enough to fly Helsinki for SN? Sometimes hard to understand to ...

Re: BRU Summer 2024: news, new routes, airlines






It's postponed, not cancelled. But those companies will also not forget it, it will not end by this. They will keep it in mind.

Is it correct premium travel is getting more restricted? Do companies rather restrict in order to cut costs? Or do we see an increase on business travel? Is business class allowance only something for big ...
