in french:

"Le diplomate de la Belgique était accompagné du Directeur général de Brussels Air Line, M. Gérard de Becker. Celui-ci, interrogé à la sortie d’audience a répondu : "Nous venons annoncer de façon officielle qu’on va ouvrir la ligne Bruxelles – Ouagadougou à partir du mardi 8 juin 2010 et l’on pourra voler deux fois par semaine, le jeudi et le dimanche. Nous sommes très contents de pouvoir ouvrir cette ligne. Nous allons vous offrir Bruxelles, comme destination mais au – delà de Bruxelles, il y a évidemment aussi un grand nombre de destinations en correspondance dans toute l’Europe et aussi envers les Etats – Unis, le Canada, le Moyen – Orient, l’Inde et la Chine".

What is interesting: both flights are showing as non-stop and downtime in OUA is in excess of 6 hours?

That leaves enough time to proceed to another destination and come back to Ouagadougou!

Ah not bad. So SN will have two daily destinations (Dakar, Kinshasa) and one 6 weekly destination.

Daily except on Wednesday, or an additional 2 flights compared to the current time table.

Strange to see flightnumber 259 used both out and inbound...

[sdbelgium]

Yes, there is also something strange with the LFW (Lomé) schedule. It shows the outbound flight on Friday and the inbound on Thursday... Or have I missed something?

I think you see something wrong:

[Air Key West]

SN 3633 BRU CDG which leaves at 09:45 am and which, in therory, does not come back, should perhaps indeed fly back to connect with the 1405 hours departure for LFW (and ABJ, I think).
SN 3633 BRU CDG 0945 1045
so why not SN 3634 CDG BRU 1145 1245 ?

[flandersairlines]

Actually, the SN 3634 flight is now loaded in the booking engine of SN. The flight times you proposed are indeed correct (11:45-12:45)

[Air Key West]

That's good news. Thanks, Flandersairlines. Do you know (can you see) if it is going to be a daily operation ?
