Dont make up stuff: SN doesn’t pay the volunteers during strikes of weather conditions: they are employees from different departments that 100% voluntarily go and help at the airport. Strikes of weather conditions? Who is making things up? Of course SN pays the volunteers. I meant strikes OR weathe...

Very true! And the situation at BRU was clear to get worse as of 3 pm when it started snowing and flights got delayed.. They had ample time to call in extras or to work out an alternative workforce post closing hours. I was at BRU between 15:00 and 18:00 the situation was already desperate! And who...

Some more news on this: the plan signed off by LH is to have 2 A340 planes up and running end of March next year already, with 2 more being added every IATA season, to a total of 6 for summer 2019! Initial destinations are likely to be: Los Angeles, Miami, New York, ... The growth from DUS comes on...

To be honest, the only airline I see serving BRU with an A380 in the next 10-20 years is EK...

Same here, used them Saturday 12/08 for my flight to IAD and no queue or anything.

I already started a similar posts some time ago regarding the potential future of BRU and its new LHL destinations so here's my take on it. These are only potential routes, not based on any rumours or anything but more which routes/airlines BRU should have in a couple of years: USA : - SFO/LAX: by S...

I was just checking the wikipedia page of Brussels Airport in English. In the "Airlines and Destinations" tab, it says that American Airlines has flights to: Dallas-DFW, Los Angeles,Philadelphia,New York City John F. Kennedy International Airport,Boston-Logan,Charlotte, Phoenix,Seattle,Sa...

2-4-2 is actually the best configuration out there according to many studies/surveys. Especially on A330 and A340.

Isn't that the Condor logo on the emergency exit?

I may be wrong but I doubt leasing a 10 year old plane (already well depreciated by its owner, the lessor) cost as much as leasing a factory-new one of the same type. That's correct, but still, leasing is throwing away money, no matter how old the plane is or how cheap the price is. Leasing is OK f...

No more fleet expansion after 2017.

And what is your source for this claim?

Any news on whether Hainan will actually resume BRU - PVG this year?

Normally not

There are not sig Witch only can backfire if Tomorrowland goes south in the next 5 years. In that view TinTin and Magrite are more of a safe bet. The Red Devils is somewhere in between :| You said it all. There are absolutely no signs at all that TML will go south in the next 5 years. One can not pr...

Brussels Airlines will send it's "Fourth" special livery jet to Vienna this Friday!

Trains to Ghent are not perfect as well:
2 direct per hour (with one of them taking 1h22 till Ghent.
And typical NMBS: you have 3 between the the hour 15 and the hour half (2 of them with a change of trains in Brussels) and then you have to wait another half hour for the next train...

I don't see a livery update happening right now, if in 2018 the name and brand might change, would be a waste of money to change the livery now.

Too bad Finnair stopped with their A350. BRU is starting to become an A350-hub. Some airlines are probably anticipating the noise restrictions by using newer types of planes... BRU is starting to become a A350 hub? Only two airlines (QR and TG) have announced A350 operations at BRU, not really an A...

Is it impossible for SN to change completely to Boeing if they receive a good deal with them? Even the A320 fleet is not so young so if Boeing give a good deal and SN change completely to Boeing is it crazy? Not impossible but a lot of extra work: all pilots have to be trained to be certified to fl...
