Hi,

Goed nieuws! SN Brussels Airlines verwacht in 2004 een nettowinst van ongeveer 5 miljoen euro. Dat verscheen vandaag in De TIJD.

Ook op de website van Het Laatste Nieuwsvindt je hierover een (heel) kort artikel.

Greetzzz,
Kristof

In vrij slechte tijden gaat het goed met SN BA... Tof om dat te mogen horen! Hopelijk gaat het management nu niet zweven, maar blijft het met z'n voeten op de grond staan. Men is goed begonnen, laat men die trend dan voor jaren (eeuwen

) doortrekken...
Lang leve SN BA!!!

Het is goed te horen dat er eindelijk een winstgevende maatschappij is. Je ziet, als het geld van de grote Belgische bedrijven er mee gemoeid is, dan heeft men een goed mangement. Hopelijk kunnen ze nog jaren lang winst blijven aankondigen.

Good news! According to De Tijd, SN Brussels Airlines aims to achieve a net profit of 5 million € in 2004.

END of translation.

I also think that this would be great thing, but let's stay with our feets on earth. The year has just begun, and there will still be a lot of hard work to be done to achieve this goal. What makes me more happier is to hear that SNBA might have had a small profit in 2003 8)

That's great news!!!! Let's wait for the annual report to learn more on this financial results.

But finaly it seems that Mr Davis have reached his promise of a break even or profit for this year.

It's good to hear positive news from belgian aviation sometimes...

Let's wish a great year 2004 to SNBA.

Rgds,

Dorf'

In het artikel in de krant was er ook sprake van een fusie tussen SNBA en VEX.
Ik citeer :" Intussen voeren de aandeelhouders van SNBA nog steeds gesprekken met Virgin Express over een fusie. Begin april wordt daarover uitsluitsel verwacht.Volgens een bron dichtbij het dossier maakt een fusie ditmaal meer kans dan bij een eerdere poging.Het gaat niet goed met Virgin Express, en dat vergemakkelijkt de dicussie over de prijs."
Zullen de geruchten toch werkelijkheid worden ?

Greetings

Thanks Chris.

sabena4ever has earlier published a forum topic and I had already posted an article in the latest news stating that SN BA would break even in 2003, as announced by management to the staff at a breakfast meeting.

How can De Tijd already forecast a profit of € 5m in 2004? The year has just started!

Because it makes people want to buy their paper

Perhaps some analyst extrapolated that if many if's were to apply they may have a certain profit

Hey guys,

I think there is a misunderstanding! Not De TIJD, but SN Brussels Airlines expects 5 million euro profit. De TIJD only wrote the article. The optimism is based on the reservations for the next months. At the end of January, SNBA received more than 130 000 bookings for February. That's 23 percent more than the same month in 2003.

That is reckoning without any unforeseen events like Sept. 11 or SARS. I would not dare making such forecasts, even if the situation looks good at present.

André: 100% certainty is of course impossible, but I guess that this prediction is based on extrapolation?

Nice to hear they are doing so well SNBA! I am sure if they keep up the high standards they have a good future ahead!

Maybe they will make more profits over a 3y term then SN did over their whole history!!!!
