Why would they give up for a so small player with any network? They are too strong for that. BTW UA is going to increase more during Winter 23-24 by adding a second B787-10. Yes, they upgrade current flights. But what if - and that's a major if, I know - AB would start let's say SFO or LAX, BOS (no...

Ltd. operating for Hongyuan Group - A332p2f cargo on the way to Astana Airport operating for Hongyuan Group - A339Neo on the way to Kangerlussuaq airport o...

Royal Air Maroc (EAM) wetleases Air Belgium's A330 to bolster summer demand. https://newsaero.info/airlines/pour-lt-royal-air-maroc-prend-un-a330-200-en-acmi-chez-air-belgium?true=6376 Are you able to provide the full article? Thx 8-) Hi, Aeroroutes.com is a very good and reliable source of informa...

I agree with you b720. BRU offers less connections than AMS, CDG or FRA. Even, if imho, it is definitely easier to have a connection at BRU than CDG, and in most cases also easier than at AMS or FRA, most travelers outside of Europe have never heard or hardly ever heard of Brussels (the capital of ...

It has more to do with attitude. Belgians are much more withdrown and staying under the church than e.g. Dutch people. Of course much more other things are involved in this. But some time ago there was a public statement that Philippines Airlines is on top to fly to BRU. Nothing visible, silence. I...

Hi, Vision 2040 is not existing anymore. The satellite is now fully taken by the police for the next 5 years. By then a whole new building will be constructed for them. Still uncertain, at this moment, what the future will be for the satellite. The airport still needs to recover from the pandemic a...

Not to mention DEN is not a small United hub and if Air Belgium ever gets a significant foothold, there will be a 4th UA plane in BRU daily with a lot more connections to the West coast. UA has more daily connections via AMS to USA (5) than they have out of Brussels (3); i do not see them start mor...

In Cape Town rumor has it Air Belgium will fly non-stop to Cape Town as from the winter schedule... Not reflected in the booking engine yet... The agreement with AIRLINK for many local connections in RSA and neighbouring countries is certainly a success. So, more weekly flights to JNB and CPT are a...

I read in ex-yuaviation forum today in the comments sections so please take it with a massive grain of salt but Canada is still experiencing shortages info staff in the aviation sector so it could be that. Maybe there aren’t enough Brussels-Toronto connections but I agree there should be a flight a...

Air Belgium also flying for Condor to Punta Cana, Seattle, Toronto.

3 flights a week to Seattle, 2 to Toronto.

Good training to open own US routes ??

Everyone know the future start of BRU-BKK, ... some questions remains open : - When ? - Codeshare with TG ? - If codeshared, possibilities to transit to other destinations with luggage transfer (TG can help) ? Any info ? Even if this rumor (is there a source or just hearsay?) were true, I cannot im...

The NMBS holds only 30% of Thalys shares, ICE is German, TGV French. BRU doesn't have an ideal position to Brussels. Having high speed trains halt at the airport is quite a detour for those company's and only worth the extra time if demand is high enough. As other trains can stop at BRU, I do not s...

You can read on the HLN website that the reason for the price increase is... the shrinking number of people using the train to go to BRU. Very sad to have bad business like that. I'm agree with you,it's really to expensive and not competitive anymore I give an example we are 2 and from Brussels it'...

Now they spend probably lots of money on the control of the surcharge. Every normal person hates this (tricky) surcharges and retributions or however they call this mafia-like contributions. Probably some guys make a nice (hidden) income from it ?? There automated gates at the airport railway stati...

The Diabolo surcharge will increase from 5,00 € to 5,8403 € on 01st February 2023. (source: Belgian State Gazette 20/01/2023) I am happy that somebody reads the STAATSBLAD for us. But the DIABOLO surcharge shows again the lack of collaboration between the SNCB/NMBS and BRU Airport. With some creati...

Hi JOVAN2, Was a typo, it is CIS. Some of those countries are against Russia already for years. Some others have now, like Azerbaijan, much closer ties with Europe. Moldova has already a connection with BRU. All this CIS countries have a bad reputation really. Some are really mafia-countries with v...

Delta Airlines is going to offer now also direct connection via train link from The Netherlands to Brussels Airport. This to increase their capacity at BRU. AMS is of course not pleased about that. To have the long haul back at BRU is the first priority for the moment. Of course first via regular f...

On the other hand TuiFly Belgium offers trips to Mauritius, but via Dubai with Emirates. Maybe it would not be stupid for TuiFly B and Air B to sit together and use the resources and planes available here in Belgium, rather than giving the business to ME airlines, who are cannibalizing the European...

Another thing they should look into is operating the long haul flight on behalve of TUI. But there seems to be no relationship between both airlines. Why would TUI cut a deal with Air Belgium? If they really need the seats they can always fly the route themselves or put the pax on their flights ex ...

And RSA. Owh my God really? I just gave you an explanation on why it's a bad idea. Here some real numbers for JNB on a 30 deg day, QNH 1013, no wind, runway 03L : Maximum takeoff weight under the conditions with most favorable takeoff configuration (optimum flap setting, optimum thrust, and packs o...
