Re: [Coronavirus] State aid for (European) airlines ?

The problem with SN is that they chose growth over profitability to fight off the loco's in BRU (which partially worked) but put them on a path of unsustainable growth (which was mentioned here quite a few times). Its a strategy that only works when you have a lot of money in the pocket to start wit...

Re: Impact of the coronavirus crisis on aviation

President Trump will make an announcement at 03:00 PM Washington time, I guess that will be 21:00 (UTC +1) No, 20:00 our time (UTC+1). US already has daylight saving time (EDT UTC-4). Well he partied with Bolsonaro in Mar-A-Lago this weekend, who is now confirmed to have corona :D Karma is a bitch.

Re: Impact of the coronavirus crisis on aviation

British airways to lay off “up to 40%” of it’s staff short term and maybe longer term. Looking into faster retirement of older aircraft and parking newer ones.

Norwegian closed its pilot base in BKK, firing all pilots there. They are also laying off cabin crew across Europe and cancelling most recruitment.

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2020

Two disappointing reports on long-haul trips onboard Brussels Airlines A330s, one in Economy and the other in Premium Economy. It seems that Economy really means savings on everything: quality of service, IFE, amenities and quality of food and drinks. Reboot? SN should take better care of the trave...
