If I'm not wrong, it was already expected for last year.
Delayed because TUI UK got new frames before TUI BE.

Re: 2024 Liège Airport (LGG/EBLG) latest news

It is misleading because it's too shortcutted. A title is the first impression of an article. In this case, those who do not know the story would first believe there is a negative advice about the permit in general. It's not the case. The Walloon Region is behind Liege Airport and supports it, only ...

There is nothing else than politics involved in this permit issue. So yes, it makes sense I guess.

Re: 2024 Liège Airport (LGG/EBLG) latest news

And on top of this, the Walloon government has the intention to go to the Conseil D'etat to annul the permit for Brussels Airport. The reason they give is that they were not heard during the investigation of the permit. Pure Kafka in Belgium. At the end, everybody will lose Very sad, indeed. All th...

Re: TUI Airline in 2024

Is this to replace the 787 that went to Tui NL for the summer periode? The 787 you're talking about is gone for good to TUI NL. Not only for the summer season. TUI BE only has OO-JDL left in its fleet. TUI BE & NL work closely together, so they share their planes & yes in the end that 777 i...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2024

You liek it or not - the SN cost will be always compared to those Ryanair and Wizz and Transavia. This is your market reality, reagardless of what you are dreaming of. Ok so basically… you’re saying pilots should work more and earn less than at major LCC’s because the cost structure of SN is too hi...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2024

Not only passengers are frustrated, but travel agencies are now reluctant to book customers on Brussels Airlines, especially if they have a connection with Lufthansa (StrikeHansa) at Munich or Frankfurt. It's not only Brussels Airlines, but the whole Lufthansa Group that is affected. I bet they boo...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2024

What I don't understand with pilots is that it's the top of the social basket; they can find a job wherever they want in any other company, why go on strike? Yeah well, there is already a significant exodus to other airlines. But for sure, it’s also very easy to quit everything you have in Belgium,...

700 to 800 PAX a week, each direction offered.

Or will they fly via Hellhole FRA ?
So what do you suggest then?
What's your super bright idea to compete against those (ultra) low cost carriers operating from much cheaper countries than Belgium?
