ACI World Forecasts Passenger Traffic in Africa to Reach 261 Million in 2025 https://aviationbusinessjournal.aero/headlines/aci-world-forecasts-passenge...

Agree with Lux Avi. I think that if SN was with IAG or AF KLM the situation would be probably the same that with Lufthansa : the market demand They are not even great synergies between SN and Turkish Airlines / Egytpair / Ethiopian Airlines to and from Africa while they are in the same alliance (i d...

And we talk about Cityjet CRJ1000 jets. Not A320. The strategy is all A320. CRJ May have been a feeling consideration and didn't worked out. Or, they can earn in wetlease more being located in MUC - the 380 are back and need to be filled. From a group prospective it may be the better economical dec...

Interesting article on Luchtvaartnieuws today. SN would like to receive more A320neo's in the future. They are also looking for the replacement of the A330. The A330neo and B787-9 are in the picture. The A330neo is however not in the current LH group fleet. More chance for the B787-9 I think I woul...

Hi.

There are currently 2 Belgian Air Force A400Ms in DR Congo. One is leaving Kindu and another one is arriving at Kinshasa.

Once again Africa is on Air Asia X radar (after a first attempt in Mauritius ) Cairo, Mahe, Nairobi and Cape Town https://newsroom.aviator.aero/airasia-reveals-plan-to-become-the-worlds-first-low-cost-network-carrier-during-airbus-leadership-visit/ Over 14 years ago Air Asia X was already looking to...

About KLM and RwandAir and rumors of partnerships with AF KLM that I mentioned a few days ago, KLM has added Kamembe (Rwanda) to its reservation system. You can fly on RwandAir with KLM. But nothing on the Air France website A diplomatic alliance that I didn't see coming: Rwanda and Jordan. In a few...

Pretty hard to compare with Asians Airports. Many of them are "brand news". An airport built in 1960s has not the same design that an airport built in 90s, in 2000s or in 2010s**, which is young for an airport. ** Hong Kong Chep Lap Kok, Seoul Icheon, Dubai Al Maktoum, Doha Hamad Airport, ...

An interesting podcast about African Aviation (I already talked about it). But this number seems particularly interesting. On one side we have South African companies which are taking advantage of the decline of South African Airways to continue to grow in Southern Africa. Qatar Airways which is sha...

BRU is a disgrace. One of the worst airports in Europe. Only the Connector and Pier A look more or less up to date. Rest is Sub standard. Ugly. Obsolete.Dirty. Worst ? Over 25 000 reviews on Google. Not 1 or 10 reviews but over 25 000. Average : 4/5 :roll:. I think enough to have real opinions abt ...

Some (quite) important frequency updates, based on July AIR ALGERIE • Cancels plans to increase from 4 to 6. AIR CANADA • Decreases Toronto from 5 to 4. BRUSSELS AIRLINES • Makes Birmingham winter-seasonal. • Decreases Copenhagen from 26 to 20. • Decreases Geneva from 27 to 20. • Decreases Stockhol...

Unsurprisingly, Amsterdal is the biggest market for Delta in Europe in terms of flights (up to 17 flights a day for 7 dest) followed by CDG is Delta's second largest market in Europe in terms of flights with up to 15 flights per day for 9 dest during peak periods. A real “base” (even if it’s not one...

Qatar Airways Cargo appears to have suspended all flights to Kigali. The flights no longer appear on FlightRadar and on the airline website. The Qatar Airways Cargo hub in Kigali will not last long or probably temporarily suspended. On Airliners net, someone claims that there are rumors of discussio...

A destination we don’t talk too much on this forum is perhaps Helsinki. What could be the reason SN is not flying to this European capital city? I know it’s not a star airport but traffic, yields and transfer possibilities are not high enough to fly Helsinki for SN? Sometimes hard to understand to ...

So you are saying the Belgium is poor country that is not strong has the others I don't believe that. This is not an explanation these are facts but why is there no will to make it better and bigger that's my question? Lufhansa is not stupid they also don't want to give market share out off there h...

I don't blame all critics, some are goods. I blame critics about the fact Brussels Airlines should be a big airline with a huge network around the world (North America, South America and Asia), like AF, KLM or Bitish Airways. The reality is the market (buisness, Visiting friends and relatives and le...

I quite often suprised to see so many critics about Brussels Airlines. I don't think that there are so many critics in Finland about Finnair, in Ireland about Aer Lingus or in Portugal about TAP Air Portugal. In 2000s, Finnair, Aer Lingus and TAP Air Portugal struggled and closed many routes. They h...

Ethiopian Airlines has just obtained slots for a service to Warsaw. The Addis Ababa Warsaw route should be operated via Athens by B787, from July 2024. Poland is the country in Europe with a small African diaspora as a percentage of its total population. But there are quite a few Africans who have o...

For the 49 years of presence in Rwanda (well that's not linked), Ethiopian Airlines will add a 3rd daily frequency to Kigali, from the start of the summer 2024 program. In terms of flights Kigali is one of the best served destinations after Dubai, Johannesburg, Entebbe which are the only lines in fu...

The general manager of Lufthansa Group in East Africa seems hint more flights to Rwanda could be operated in a future from the group. Not only will ✈️ Brussels Airlines launch a new service to #nairobi next summer, we will also increase flights to #kigali from 5 weekly to DAILY, starting June 2024. ...
