Re: Impact of the coronavirus crisis on aviation

Air New Zealand plans to fire all it’s B777 crew as it is not expecting the aircraft to fly until APRIL 2021!

They expect the airline to shrink 30% in total in order to survive

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2020

Hi, Make plans for the next SN is nice but some get to forget one thing.... Planes, crew,staff, slots , everything belongs to LH. If they decide to shut down SN and place some cheap EW planes here to keep the profitable routes going and just dump the rest... They keep their backgarden clean and pre...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2020

With very inefficient four engine aircraft? Will they even consider switching CRL for the much more expensive BRU? The only advantage I see is you might get some good rates on leasing A330's due to the expected dumping of aircraft, but then again airlines will first dump older machines. If, and tha...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2020

Seems like the lockdown is well respected, going by the many posts on such a beautiful day! 8-) Anyway, reading through all of it, I find this to be a very weird discussion, since the only question that matters is really simple: Do you think it a strategic advantage for our country's economy (and t...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2020

Davignon is right whe saying that SN cannot survive alone, without the support of a major group. I agree, but with the kind of s"support" SN gets from LH, it will not survive either. As for De Croo Jr's statements, do not forget that he come from the same political family as Guy Verhofsta...

De Croo says Brussels Airlines wont be bailed out by the government if they and the LH group don’t come up with a long term survivability plan. https://m.standaard.be/cnt/dmf20200410_04919457?utm_campaign=seeding&utm_content=article&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook&utm_term=dso

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2020

Finnair fills its flights mainly thanks to its huge network to Asia. AF ended flights to Helsink, late 2000s. HEL is not served by British Airways, Swiss, Alitalia or Iberia. BA does fly to HEL. Did quite a few overnights there. On another note. Davignon expects support from the state. Pre-liminary...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2020

It's simple really and should end all dicussions. The EU law is clear, all airlines not following this are in breach. Re-imbursment should be offered , without delay. Not hidden in thousand pages. Point. Testaankoop I believe is also on this https://www.europarl.europa.eu/news/en/headlines/society/2...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2020

Let's see what happens - almost the full industry is trying to direct customers to a rebooking and/or voucher solution (some more extreme than others - like always). An increasing amount of EU governments is supporting the no/delayed refund position of their airline industry (e.g. Germany supportin...

Which is also forbidden. First of all it is misleading to not point out clearly what the options are and how to receive a refund. Secondly, delaying compensation to whenever it suits the air carrier is NOT allowas, no matter what IATA says. The law has not changed.

General principle with all airlines now: no refunds, only vouchers.

Which is against your precious law that you always preach. Its NOT a general principle with all airlines btw.

Funny that is again, you cant resist the personal touch is it. How was the vinegar in your coffee this morning?
