Re: Brussels Airlines in 2024

There are some nice liveries in the 15 chosen submissions for the new Belgian icon.
I like art nouveau, Lucky Luke and marsipulami (first one).

Re: BRU Winter 2024-2025: News, new routes, airlines

I quickly checked skyscanner for some random dates in January for both Toronto and Newark. For Toronto I didn't find any direct flight. For Newark only once daily.

Re: BRU Summer 2025: news, new routes, airlines

Delta downgrades JFK-BRU from daily to 4 weekly in summer '25.
Guess the pressure of SN (jfk) and United (Newark) is too big in New York.

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal

Dar Es Salam, Mombasa, Libreville and Brazzaville are all situated in Sub-Saharan Africa. You meant West-Africa, I suppose? Obviously those cities are in the South of Sahara...but the countries of Sub SAHARA are : Bénin, Burkina Faso, Cap Vert, Côte d'Ivoire, Gambie, Ghana, Guinée, Guinée-Bissau, L...

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal

Is it a dedicated press conference on the fleet. So there must be something special to tell, no? Indeed, it's a wait and see. But the main subject was about the fleet. Does anyone of you have specific questions they like to be seen answered ? If they will wet lease next summer season and if they br...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2024

So, according to SN, 1.2 million passengers will fly with them in July and August.
According to BRU airport, 5 million passengers will fly to and from Bru in July and August.

This means SN will capture about 25% of all passenger traffic through BRU.
Are they losing marketshare?

Would be nice to get 2 in a year, but I remember a few months ago it also said 2 in 2024. But now it changed to 2025.

Does SN codeshare on this route?
Can Chinese passengers fly to other European cities with SN?
Will SN codeshare with Juneyao? Since it's a Star Alliance connecting partner?

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2024

IMHO, they should just speak English since it's the lingua franca and on any other airline it's the language people speak (besides native tongue). This small Belgian mentality about not speaking the other language has been said many times before. Maybe the crew should just speak their own native ton...

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal

From 2011 to 2014 the local management managed to reduce debts from -80mil (in the year 2011) to -4mil (in the year 2014). 2015 and and 2016 were both positive, respectively 41mil and 15 mil. That is not correct, between 2012 and 2015 the cumulated loss was above 100 million euro and the debt went ...

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal

I think that it's always good to recall history facts and not emotions based. Maybe it was not the best idea of LH to wait 8 years and let the local management fail. A 100% stake straight from 2008 may have been driving to a different shape of Brussels today. But, as always, there where also some p...

On the BRU website press room you can read that there will be many news routes, including Brive airport in France, flown by Amelia airlines. Did anyone know about this? I don't think it was mentioned before. They don't mention this at all in their press release, but in the introduction on social me...
