Nadat we de nieuwe luchtvaartmaatschappij en het logo met dertien bolletjes op 7 november hadden voorgesteld, kwam er vooral reactie uit Italië en de Verenigde Staten omdat het getal dertien er niet geliefd is", zegt woordvoerder van Brussels Airlines.

It's an excuse but not a good one.Look at the seat row"13" given at almost every type of plane by American Airlines.I don't think you will find seat row 13 at Brussels Airlines.

Well yes, SN keeps row 13 in all its planes, contrarily to LH which has no row 13, neither 17.

It's possible for SN, but do you think Brussels Airlines will have seat row 13 after his 13 dots story. It makes no sense .

On ZE LIVE (PLUG TV) a spokesman (a woman actually) explained that they toke the decision due to passengers complains especially from France, Italy and United states.

All the marketing packaging and consumable were not yet ordered.

Although no complaint have been received regarding the 13th row so nothing will change.

This is not really a serious broadcasting but the answer was given by a Brussels airline's employee.

As a pilot I must say that it was the first thing I noticed on the new logo - but, I said to myself there's another 13 on the backside and another 26 in the front so no worry...

Nevertheless I am happy that they changed it - looks better and it got some more publicity!!

Merry X-mass to all out here!
