For about a year Kalitta 747s had been operating IAH-ORD-BRU-DXB flights on behalf of Emirates. It looks like this contract has come to an end, as EK 77Ls are now operating on this route again.

ULS cargo who is flying at BRU will take into its cargo fleet 2 A330-300 P2F aircraft as from August 2024. It can be that we will see them to from time to time at Brucargo

Maybe I am reading way too much into it but I’m wondering if the new lufthansa cargo is a sign for things to come - apart from the press release itself about the growing partnership between LH, UA and SN

I wouldn’t call two flights a week a “sign”.

Why not?
That's exactly a sign or the beginning of something maybe,If the project really comes to fruition, adding a few more cargo flights makes perfect sense.
Hasta la victoria siempre.

At the Indermodal South America, LATAM Cargo announced 2 new destinations to Europe: Florianopolis in Brazil and Montevideo in Uruguay. Both routes will begin operating in April 2024 and year round.

It will be again between AMS and BRU, because of the slot restrictions at AMS but also BRU didn't confirmed the slots. It's not yet decided which will be the origin of those services. The decision will be made in a few weeks.

Both destinations will be served twice weekly. Especially Florianopolis will be special as it is not served at all from Europe. Montevideo is already served with a stop in Miami. Soon it will be connected directly.

Main cargo on top of the list is pharmaceutical products. And here we see BRU as the only one in the picture. And main cargo from Europe.

I am afraid LGG will pick up the BRU flights, as they did before and as they are doing now with some of the MSR( ex OST) flights too..They are very agressive and try to take flights from BRU/OST/HHN and others with very cheap landing and handling fares there..

It reminds me years ago of the Korean Air Cargo flights from Canada to BRU with only salmon on board. Those were a few flights per week around December. It was for a few years in a row.

Btw, do we have any progress with Latam Cargo or is it still on hold ?
I saw that they're back to BRU with another type of flight but for how long...

They are back indeed but it was a very short break. They will announce it this month. But it's also looking at the slot coordinator of BRU bcs they didn't confirmed the slots yet
