Nice figures.

I think the figures for 02/2020 will also be not too bad:
1) Number of flights/seats to China from BRU is limited
2) Last year saw a drop in the figures (don't remember what happened at that time), so was special month anyway
3) There are 29 instead of 28 days in the month this time ... always helps

Let's hope the situation in China will normalize. Unfortunately my meetings in Hong Kong for the OGC were cancelled (would have loved to visit the city) and they are now in Ottawa instead (but my money is gone so I will not attend )

Cheers,
Danny

It's too early. Airlines started to suspend their service, from late January 2020. Most of airlines are currently suspending their flights to China or from China (depanding the country where China Airlines can't land), at least till late March 2020.

Brussels won't be probably hardly impacted, beacuse, there a few services to China. Only Hainan Airlines serves China, from BRU.

At Paris CDG, Air France operates almost 25 flights a week to China, since they closed Canto service, few month ago.

Hainan Airlines serves 4 destinations, Air China 3 destinations (service to Chengdu is now suspended), China Eastern serves 3 destinations, Xiamen Airlines serves 1 destination and China Southern serves 1 destination.
