They lasted much longer than many of us expected them to, although it took round after round of financing to keep them afloat.
We should applaud the people at the helm for their skills in convincing investors and politicians to throw their money over and over again, as harsh as it may sound. If they ...

I suggest you to listen the last AviaDev Africa podcast. I put the link yesterday.

They explain why ITA uses A321Neos on Africa, and why the adding of more A330s is good for Brussels Airlines.

With the coming of more A330s, Brussels Airlines will able to split some services. Transit demand via ...

I'm going to pitch in because I have long advocated for SN to use narrowbodies to/from Africa.
Now that everybody and their mother is using narrowbodies on longer routes, SN may be considering it but unfortunately SN has missed the boat in terms of doing it on their African network.

Arguably you ...

Last saturday there was an interview with CS -CEO of LH Group in De Tijd.
Usual complaints about EU allowing access to European market too esaily.
The Middle East and Chinese suck away customers with cheap prices and big government support, while EU Commission gives fines, issues very difficult ...

Airlines and any company really will charge top dollar for a mediocre service as long as there are ignorant paying consumers.
Ryanair has started doing just the same, they have become an extremely expensive airline.

They also pay their staff very little for their time and work.
No wonder nobody ...

Suffices to look at the LH A32F aircraft, they all seem to have the huge SATCOM antenna.
I bet that it's much more than 1% additional fuel burn.

5 days later...OO-SNI still stuck in Vilnius ?

Seems to still be sitting AOG in Vilnius; must be something serious.


The tyre may have hit something else when it came off. It's rather explosive when that happens and seeing as how it was the inboard, it may have hit the doors or something ...

Mere weeks after achieving experimental airworthiness certification from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Universal Hydrogen has successfully taken its 40-passenger regional hydrogen electric plane to the skies. The aircraft took off from Washington state this morning and ascended to an ...

Hi,

Indeed ...

But in Belgium they can't decide even to built one needed power line !

Case closed...

Not in this life !
Maglev...

From Hasselt to Antwerp please 🥺❤️

The cost to build a tunneled line as below would be about 500 Billion euro's.

The socio-economic impact for the local workforce would be, at least in the short-term, a disaster. Given its status as capital of the EU and NATO, there is a very large amount of traffic that is coming into BRU, not just from government officials and EU/NATO staff, but lobbyists, foreign ...

Intermodal is very important in my opinion.
For someone from Antwerp, it's more convenient to fly out of AMS than it is from Charleroi or Eindhoven and if you use Thalys, almost as convenient as BRU.
That BRU is not set up for HSR is not the customer's problem.
In fact, I don't see why it's not ...

I feel for both sides of this.
I feel for the crews who must be exhausted and unhappy with their decreasing purchasing power as well as the still very present Covid.
I feel for the airline which is battling lack of staff and high oil prices while some seats are not filling up as they should ...

It looks like the issues have been resolved.
The website seems to be working again.

Ryanair's website and app are experiencing a total meltdown since an update two days ago.

I advise people not to book until resolved.

These are the issues I have noted so far

-Intermittent issues logging in on the website, the website now asks a code sent via e-mail but often the codes don't work ...

The Ryanair website has become a nightmare since an update two days ago.
If you try to log in, it asks a code that is emailed to you, but often it doesn't accept the code even if you enter it correctly.
Customer service is unreachable, online check-in not accessible for many, Ryanair forced to waive ...

Planes get new painting every 6-7 years. And the transition will be done at the time each aircraft needs anyhow a new visit to the paint shop, regardless of the livery.
To me, timing is ok :
- there is a new positioning as network airline
- 2023 there are 3 committed A320 NEOs coming, PR wise good ...

Rebranding costs millions.

Repainting the tail in different colors costs more because you need to rebalance the rudder and that alone is a non-negligible cost.
Then think about new uniforms, new headrest covers, new safety cards, new catering disposables, new signs all over the place from Bhouse to ...

I don't see the point of doing this ahead of a quiet winter for what looks like a downgrade in design.

I will name this one "Brussels Airlines a attrapé la varicelle / Brussels Airlines caught the measles."

A new chapter for Brussels Airlines... Chapter 11?

Let's get rid of Lufthansa and ...
