Re: BRU Summer 2024: news, new routes, airlines
Dear Atlantis, i understand your comments and efforts to try to justify BRU and SN weaknesses...
But it becomes pathetic.
You, like BRU and SN loose all credibilty.
It is just sad to see poor performance.

They can cancel flights on IAD route definitely...no one will see it.
They will have a plane for plan B ...

Re: BRU Summer 2024: news, new routes, airlines
Not sure if that’s the best option.
There’s a lot of political unrest in Africa lately with a coup somewhere every two to three months for the last three years. Often countries which are not deemed newsworthy, but these coups will certainly have an influence on investments in and travel to/from these countries specifically and maybe even Africa in general..
Re: BRU Summer 2024: news, new routes, airlines
that's the strength of Brussels Airlines, it's precisely having the experience of being able to continue to fly to Africa otherwise it would be too easy and the competition would come quickly people anyway will continue to fly ....fcw wrote: ↑17 Sep 2023, 22:13Not sure if that’s the best option.

Re: BRU Summer 2024: news, new routes, airlines
Even if it means cancelling LAD now and then? (Sorry Patrice, couldn’t resist. )
Re: BRU Summer 2024: news, new routes, airlines
But don't take me wrongly Brussels Airlines is my Airline but all the more reason to be critical when things don't work well.
Hasta la victoria siempre.
Re: BRU Summer 2024: news, new routes, airlines
Transavia will keep growing.
Next summer, more aircraft will be based at BRU (according to one source, 2 extra aircraft → 4) due to limited capacity at Eindhoven and Rotterdam, contraction at Schiphol (-8% for HV) and a record success in Belgium. Around 20% of their BRU passengers are Dutch, and this will also increase thanks to better fares.

*New destinations have not yet been revealed, but some of their 2020 plans may return (Thessaloniki is on their website, but still not bookable), bringing the total number of routes to +/- 20 (now 11).

Transavia will add a third plane to their BRU base and add 3 destinations to their portfolio from BRU: Bari, Marrakech and Thessaloniki
Re: BRU Summer 2024: news, new routes, airlines
Transavia will increase Alicante (6 > 7), Heraklion (3 > 4), Ibiza (4 > 5), Malaga (6 > 7) and Tenerife (2 > 3)
In total, 45 weekly flights (compared to 31 this year) with the addition of BRI, RAK, SKG
Other summer destinations will arrive in due time

Re: BRU Summer 2024: news, new routes, airlines
Next year still no ATL with Delta to Brussels. Question is if it ever will come back.
Also Dusseldorf is losing this connection.

Re: BRU Summer 2024: news, new routes, airlines
Actually they are lacking aircraft at the moment, I guess they had priorities on other routes. Maybe next time will be the one who knows
Re: BRU Summer 2024: news, new routes, airlines
Re: BRU Summer 2024: news, new routes, airlines
Another reason they gave was that the route to Dusseldorf had lack of potential and the prices were too low to make it profitable.
Re: BRU Summer 2024: news, new routes, airlines
Air Transat will increase its frequency to Montreal to 4 weekly instead of 3 and will end its flights 2 weeks later than this year, on October 25
Re: BRU Summer 2024: news, new routes, airlines
Qatar Airways increases its frequency from 7 to 10, like this winter, operated by 787

Seems like SN is resuming Krakow 4 weekly every 1-3-5-7 from 31 of March.
I just checked on SN’s website flights level BRU at 09:35 and land at 11:30 departure from Krakow at 12:20 and land at BRU 14:15

Re: BRU Summer 2024: news, new routes, airlines
Very good if will confirmed also. Took the flight in the past a few times. Was always full. OK, full means not profitable but it's the second biggest capital in Polandtheeuropean wrote: ↑17 Oct 2023, 17:25 Seems like SN is resuming Krakow 4 weekly every 1-3-5-7 from 31 of March.

Re: BRU Summer 2024: news, new routes, airlines
Happy about that! Would also be nice if they can something from SFO or IAH. Pity JetBlue didn’t maybe try at least seasonal flights to BRU from BOS
Re: BRU Summer 2024: news, new routes, airlines
I think that second daily was made possible with a small 752 due to the 77W being removed from EWR in S24 (-32 seats vs 78X) and the constant delays with XLR (at least S25) + I wouldn't be surprised if IAD also gets doubled in the future. For the new destinations, hopefully next year as new 787 will arrive but as you can see in the press release, there is only one real new route (Faro) announced for S24, most likely due to lack of aircraft.theeuropean wrote: ↑26 Oct 2023, 15:42 Happy about that!

About JetBlue, only time (really soon) will tell if they lose their slots at AMS but chances are high. If so, I'm pretty sure they'll transfer their ops to BRU.
