Re: Crashes and serious incidents/accidents in 2024

Re: BRU Winter 2023-2024: news, new routes, airlines

BRU used to have many long haul carriers at the end of the nineties(VASP/China Eastern/Cubana/US airways/American to name a few) and before that even more BUT the Big 3 (EK/QR/EY) from the Middle East with their low fares and good service took every other competition away..And there is also the fact...

Re: TUI Aviation in 2023

Difficult to believe they can't find a replacement aircraft.Summer season is over, there is capacity(Heston, Hifly, Privilege, etc) on 330/340 and other suitable aircraft..I think its more about money..Its maybe cheaper to put pax a couple of days in hotles than look for a replacement aircraft.

Re: BRU Winter 2023-2024: news, new routes, airlines

There used to be a similar agreement since ages..Air Zaire, Air Congo, Hewa Bora airlines and others were here in the past..My contact in DRC told me about the proposed service to BRU, indeed possible with a European registered plane, but still many paperwork to be done!.Let's hope they come !

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

Saudi Arabia is investing enormously in tourism the next years, wants to become a big player in the holiday business, so seems logical that they would look at BRU as possible destination..
