Re: Air Belgium in 2018
So that's it, they'll fly to Hong Kong and will perform wet-lease, like HiFly?
Re: Air Belgium in 2018
No. The next destinations in China have been announced in "L'Echo": Xi'An, Beijing and Shanghai. The wet-lease is only an opportunity to keep the aircraft and crew busy before the launch of the regular flights.shockcooling wrote: ↑29 Mar 2018, 14:49 So that's it, they'll fly to Hong Kong and will perform wet-lease, like HiFly?

The Chinese Foreign Airlines Awards Ceremony has presented its most influencial airline manager in China award to Mr Mikko Rautio of Finnair.
"Chinese traffic is one of the cornerstones of Finnair's Asian strategy. Mikko Rautio, who has lived in China for 36 years and knows the local culture and language, has been an important asset for our company," says Finnair's SVP Commercial Division Mika Perho.
The competition, arranged online by the Global Times newspaper, attracted a total of 3.35 million votes from readers. Categories included most influential airline, favourite airline, best uniform, airline visual image and best advertisement among others.

The selection committee included several directors of international and Chinese companies, editors-in-chief, travel agency directors, professors and aviation industry specialists.
Finnair's Beijing route was opened in June 1988. Finnair had flights to Beijing once a week at that time. Nowadays Finnair operates three daily flights to China. Destinations are Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong. Mikko Rautio has worked for Finnair China for over 16 years. He is Finnair's Chief Representative in the People's Republic of China and is responsible for sales in Northern China.

Nice video’s Thx... nice livery too. Hope we will see many of them flying around soon.
Re: Air Belgium in 2018
The A340's aren't owned by Finnair (at least not anymore), they are owned by Airbus. If I remember correct the sale of the A340's had a buy back clause which obligated Airbus to take back the birds when the deliveries of the A350 started.
Re: Air Belgium in 2018
I assume the cabin crew for the Paramaribo flight will be half Air Belgium, half Surinam.
In such a case, how much would Surinam have to pay to AB for the whole operation? (order of magnitude)

Re: Air Belgium in 2018
Impossible, as both airlines have different procedures. The minimum legal crew will be AB, whilst there will probably be extra Surinam crew with a commercial function only, they are not allowed to execute any safety related tasks.
