Re: BRU Summer 2024: news, new routes, airlines

EASA is a guiding line That's why I asked what BRU airport is using. EASA, the European Aviation Safety Agency is probably not reliable for Belgian politics ;) DL is still flying with the B767 bcs they don't have enough new planes to use them to BRU as for them is not a main destination which AMS a...

Re: BRU Summer 2024: news, new routes, airlines

"Duh...the huge cost of buying modern aircraft to start with..." Yeah! Right! So what makes you think Albawings can't do its maths and has no chance due to high fees in BRU (still waiting for numbers though)? Their B734 probably costs them nothing. Noise levels according to EASA: B737-400:...

Re: BRU Summer 2024: news, new routes, airlines

You are taking it very simple but in practice it's not. Hereunder how each aircraft is calculated. So, as you make it simple for only a B734, it's not in practice The landing and take-off charges are determined by the following factors: I. - the unit tariff II. - the maximum take-off weight (MTOW) ...

A LCC with old planes and with high fees for BRU bcs its an aged plane. And they will start within 2 weeks. It's obvious that this will fail. BTW, nothi...

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal

The discount is probably a lucky coincidence. It is typical of airlines introducing a new type to keep them close to home. Probably still going through crew familiarization training (cabin, cockpit, and ground) and you can get more crew doing the job each day when you operate short hops as opposed ...
