Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that due to a bilateral agreement between Belgium and DR Congo, there are only two carriers allowed on the BRU - FIH route, one Belgian and one Congolese (in casu Hewa Bora and SNBA).
Now, since Hewa Bora didn't get blacklisted today (not fully anyway) and this company is also referred to as Air Kabila (undeniable ties with Congolese president and his family), there is no doubt that ALX will remain the COngolese carrier on this line. So how would bravo airlines get a permit to fly on this route?
It won't be direct flights but flights via MAD.
So no problems with the agreement.
Jet Airways announces the introduction of a second daily flight on the Mumbai-London-Mumbai sectors, starting July 10. It will operate these flights with the A340-300E. Nothing about Brussels...

For those interested in the non-BRU part of this story, Eastern will also take on CWL-NCL and CWL-ABZ. Aer Arann will take over CWL-ORK. Nobody is taking on ORK-EXT or CWL-DUB yet (although Ryanair already operate on this route).
Indeed, they will stop with scheduled services, 80 people will loose their job.
The webteam has decided to close this topic and invites the members to restart a 'BRU in Summer 2006: what to expect: airlines, routes, news...'-topic.
We would also like to ask our dear members to create a few extra topics about news of Brussels Airport in stead of putting it all in the same topic. Some news deserves a dedicated topic.
