Re: Brussels Airport (BRU) infrastructure: future
I am not so sure all this will happen..Don't forget the objections from neighbours and other groups..On another subject, nobody thought about our spotting community...Nothing foreseen......Where are the good times when terraces where here, and now more and more foreign airports are helping this hob...

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
Belgium in a nutshell. I would have been surprised if this one went down without small-minded regionalist tantrums...oldblueeyes wrote: ↑05 Nov 2024, 16:13 Instead of being happy to have such a strong branding both of the airline and of the country, you are running again in small-small regionalist fights.

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
I think we are not far away from each other Neither do I think. I just merely clarified/corrected some historical facts. - with tiny routes i was thinking of useless approaches eg flying into Baia Mare or not fucntioning JV's eg, not being able to fill together an AT42 on various regional routes op...

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
I usually agree with your analyses and find them well-reasoned - however, I have to correct some factual (historical) errors: In the trial to build a national champion they acquired the already struggling Lauda Air , a company focused more on long haul leisure at that time (the 767 and 777 long haul...

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
No matter who would get them, that brand has the chance of getting 40 brand new aircraft over 5 years. Additional upscaling of the order not considered. Likely a decison would be taken in May 2025 just before the Annual General Meeting. In other words: we will have to keep looking into the crystal ...

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
Not really. Typically not dedicated fleet is allocated 2 years in advance - so as an educated guess there would be a decision for 2026/27 max. As approx 3/year are already planned for Swiss and Austrian shall become replacement for it's own six A321, if staying with Airbus. So around 5-7 deliveries...

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
And it seems that the dumping of the Dash-8 "paid off" so much that OS is wetleasing two ATR72 from Braathens for the season... ;) Which means nothing. SN using the CRJ from a wet-lease airline this summer doesn't mean they regret their small(er) jumbolino's... Maybe not and they are in t...

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
And the last tutboprops of OS were exchanged with 6 A320. For them it seems to pay off. Sorry to correct a factual error: the 6 A320 were not meant as a replacement for the Dash-8, but for the phasing out of the A319 sub-fleet. The Dash-8 routes are mainly flown by the E195 - which is also much bet...

Re: Austrian Airlines in 2024
As Aviation24 reported yesterday , one of Austrian Airlines' A320neo aircraft sustained severe damage in a ground incident. The aircraft OE-LZQ (MSN 11467) returned from a flight to LHR as OS456 on the evening of 6 April 2024 and was subsequently towed to a remote parking position. According to newe...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2024
Like Lux_avi rightly pointed it out : how sure can you be that workers from ground staff to pilots at other airlines will not go on strike (even at Ryanair) ? Without even mentioning ATC (and not in Belgium only). Perhaps the best option is to go on holidays somewhere reachable by car ? Workers in ...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2024
.... and as expected the strike will go ahead. I think I'll book my summer trip to Spain with Iberia or Vueling. I want peace of mind without the constant threat of strikes with SN. (it's really disastrous for their image but they don't seem to care, so be it) Exactly. Now now it goes about details...

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
Any news on OO-SBC? I'm under the impression deliveries at SN seem to take longer than other airlines, but for sure I'm not an expert and probably wrong. It was spotted end of January at TLS, already painted in the new "measles" livery of SN, however still wearing the test registration F-...

Re: Airline bankruptcies, ceased operations, restructurations

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
LH has a strong presence in India. They want us to fly to FRA/MUC and connect there on an LH flight (and vv). No competition allowed from SN. My two cents... Air India is also operating to VIE, so transiting through there would also be a possibility (surely easier and faster than through nightmaris...
