Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
On a sidenote, 179 temporary cabin crew contract, ealier than foreseen, has been made permanent wich is quiet a lot. I guess we can expect a significative growth of the production next year with probably a 10th a330
Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
Very good to read regarding the contracts. Is a positive signal
Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
Is that not what they already announced as part of their expansion in Europe this year (Summer 2023) which was 10% with x number of additional aircraft, etc.?
Cheers,
Danny

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
From what I heard there will be another growth next year on both short and long haul but still to be confirmed
Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
That's not a fleet renewal topic, but crew renewal!

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
All,
Is it already known which A319 will be replaced by A320neo? I assume it will be A319 that will require soon 'heavy' maintenance and/or repainting, but not sure about that ...
I also do not know whether there is a big capacity difference between the current A320 and the A320neo. Anyone insights on that?
Sorry if these questions have been answered already somewhere else, you can redirect to other threads.

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
Regarding the capacity A320 vs A320neo in term of pax this will be the same 180 pax. There is not such a big difference from the pax side. Just some feature like a better lighting, more quiet environnement and some more space for the cabin bag.
The main difference is in term of operation as those aircraft use less fuel and are more quiet (noise restriction at airports). This will make this aircraft much cheaper to operate.
Also the fact it use less fuel will give the opportunity to fly longer flight with no restriction. An exemple is Cabo Verde. When SN was operating the flight, as it was a long one, there were weight restriction, it was then not possible to take 180pax on the flight. Should SN reintroduce those flight, we could fly with a full load to those destination.

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
Lots of people are leaving the company for other airlines, like Air France or KLM. Or they seek jobs elsewhere outside aviation.
It's a good sign that they hire new people, but I am afraid that the understaffing will remain throughout Summer 2023.

So it's better to avoid Brussel Airlines this summer to avoid cancelations?luchtzak wrote: ↑23 Apr 2023, 09:55Lots of people are leaving the company for other airlines, like Air France or KLM. Or they seek jobs elsewhere outside aviation.

Hasta la victoria siempre.

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
It’s a problem in pretty much every airline right now… far from being an issue at SN only, very far.lumumba wrote: ↑23 Apr 2023, 12:29So it's better to avoid Brussel Airlines this summer to avoid cancelations?
