Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal

On a slightly positive note, in the interview obe referred us to, Boxberg's answers had much more substance than previously. She has learned, but is still under the orders of the Big Boss. Ohh yes, he decide. First profit. But you can't make profit or bigger profit if you don't invest. And I mean r...

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal

Initially it was a good idea. But good ideas can turn into a nightmare when a new boss takes over. The new boss took over. Kept SN and BRU very small but forgot to cover the East part of Germany. Over the border in Poland you have a very strong player LOT, also Star Alliance, and is expanding each ...

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal

Well, the good news is that OO-SFC is back from MAN where she spent more than 3 months. I saw her arriving on Saturday evening, still wearing the classic BeeLine livery. SN long haul fleet indeed shows a nice aero-diversity : = Four (4) birds with the classic BeeLine. OO-SFC, -D, -E, -G. = One (1) ...

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal

It s not beacause an aircraft is not flying that it's free to go somewhere else to be painted. OO-SFP is simply having some work done to be ready to integrate the SN fleet. No there is no time to go to the paintshop, this aircraft is needed at the homebase asap D-AIKG was flying at SN before it wen...

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal

Why do you think that you are the only one? I think many. You can reroute pax via your partners in the group but when it's happening on a weekly basis, it's not OK. Business pax don't want to fly via, they want to fly direct. The same for other pax. On this way they will not grow in pax and in profi...

Re: Brucargo 2024: cargo routes & news

Very quickly after the first cargo flights, 2 flights per week, of FarCargo, they added already 2 extra weekly flights.

Inbound cargo is full of fresh fish, the outbound cargo remains an issue.

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

Quite a big news, after so many years. From 2nd September, LOT will fly 4x a day, taking advantage of the 20th anniversary of Poland's accession to the European Union. Nice to see. It also can be that they jump in the gap which SN left. SN started not long time ago WAW and reduced it already to onl...

And what's happening with the triple bridge they will keep it broken?! They are still using it except the one that is too short. But this has no influence on the normal operations with the aircraft types who are flying currently on BRU. I hope that, if ever Emirates or any other airline introduces ...

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

If Emirates is expecting a triple bridge, I think that would be a new (to me) requirement, and they currently send their A380s to airports that do not meet that criteria. In the past, they have certainly insisted on a double-bridge though. They may not have been able to use one when you visited VIE...
