Hello! I've another question.. If they make BRU their european hub by mid 2008,shouldn't they open a base in Brussels? They are planning a total of 10 daily long haul flights!! They have bases in KUL,BKK,... why not here in BRU ? What about the language fact...If they want to transport pax from Afri...

Hey all!

Just want to start this topic because I'm curious about the effects of the "open skies" deal on Brussels Airport.

As all major airports in Europe (LHR,FRA,CDG,AMS,...) are almost full,could there be a potential for Brussels ?

Excisting carriers starting hubs in Brussels ?

Situation in CKY is very unstabile,SN closed already there town office a few days ago. Apparently the yields on that destination aren't that good... For Bujumbura they don't need the 4th 330 as they can operate it via NBO (who isn't doing that well neither). My guess,and actually that's what we all ...

Sabena in the past had good yields on the DFW route,a lot of jewish people coming from Tel Aviv made a connection with SN to Dallas! I don't understand DC ???? United is already flying from BRU to IAD. Apparently they are going to present 1 new destination in North America and 1 in Africa on the 25t...

Brussels Airlines launched several internal and external biddings for pilots and ccm's for the startup operations of the fourth 330. For the cockpit crew they are recruiting external cuz they need qualified people for the first 6 months. Today I "heard" from somebody inside they will apply...

That is some great news!!!!

Can't wait to see this new A/C...where does it come from?

It will take some 6 months but it will worth waiting for!

New destinations ???

Hey guys!

Where can you see the preview of the 330's in new colours?

The A330 comes from Austrian Airlines and it is a -200 iso -300.

They will add Montreal as from june,3 frequences a week.

These rumours come from inside SN.

767's are much cheaper in leasing prices than 330's
767's have less capacity,that's what has been announced 31st of march

Last year SN wanted a 4th 330, they had to pay the same price they currently pay for 3 330's !!!!

Hey all,

Rumours are telling that Boston will be the first of three destinations that SN will fly in the US.
They are currently in talks with boeing to find 6 767-300ER for the price of 4 A330.

Somebody with more info?

Greetz

AA has no spare planes to do this operation,so they are asking for over 1 year that SN could do this route with their own planes.

It's a fact that the NBO route of SN isn't profitable and know with the KGL crisis....

Let's hope!

Hey,

A lot of rumours are that SNBA will open a route between BRU-JFK in the evening.This due to the high demand of American Airlines and touristbureau's.
Some of you who have more info on this ?

I just want to react on the fact that some of you find the A319 not suitable for TLV operations. First of all the BRU-TLV flight is between 3h55-4h15 flightime and the TLV-BRU flight between 4h20-4h40,so not 6hrs like somebody mentioned on this forum. If you see the business class product: choice of...

I don't see why they have to put an aircraft in africa for the DKR-BJL route...they'll fly BRU-DKR-BJL-DKR-BRU like they do now.Sometimes the A319 is already flying this route,perfectly possible with reduced pax load. They will have the capacity because SN is thinking to stop the BRU-CMN route by th...

The exact period for the refurbishment is not yet mentioned,the commercial department is still looking for the supplier of the new seats... Ouagadougou/Cotonou is 89% sure...And I think it will stay with those two for the moment.On this routes SN will compete against Air France-KLM and there african...

As we were informed by SN's commercial department, Ouagadougou and Cotonou are the most likely new african destination.

Like mentioned before those are planned for the summer of 2006.

First the 3 currently used A330 will be refurbished and repainted.

Hi all, Apparently UA is reorganising their european network and it looks like they are very much like to drop the brussels service out of washington.Belgian ticketing office should already be aware of this change?! Could anyone give some more information.... [title changed by admin sn26567 to refle...

Do you feel assaulted? Never meant it personally,but don't act like you deny the fact that pilots are always complaining!!Look into the mirror or listen to some of your colleages. Dear Sn-remember,I'm not starting another topic,just reacting on what you've written. apparently this is a very sensitiv...

Has this poll something to do with the small turbulences inside SNBA due to their profit "checks" ? I've spoken Mr. Kuipers personally last week and it wouldn't even come up in me to change a man with such a sense of responsability. I know that some of the cabin crew and pilots are not sat...

Euh I doubt if there are really candidates to take over BelgiumExel....Investers should be really stupid to take over a company without AOC!! And I also doubt they will get one very soon....
