The difference isn't between Brussels and Amsterdam, the difference is in Belgian market.fcw wrote: 09 Sep 2026, 19:49With all due respect, Patrice, what you wrote is completely incomprehensible.
What on earth does Ryanair have to do with the difference in taxes between AMS and BRU and the fleet renewal of BruAir?

For Ryanair, the price difference is already much greater as a percentage, but more importantly, the public is much more price-sensitive than the Brussels Airlines public.

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
It seems clear to me, though. If we adopt the same policy as the Netherlands, it would work to Brussels Airlines' advantage in the Belgian market.fcw wrote: 11 Sep 2026, 14:30lumumba wrote: 10 Sep 2026, 23:40 The difference isn't between Brussels and Amsterdam, the difference is in Belgian market.Now you’re just confusing me even more!lumumba wrote: 05 Sep 2026, 12:49 It is also clear that if we followed the Dutch tax policy, it would be a definite advantage for Brussels Airlines
It would be even better if it were done at the European level, but unfortunately, we're not there yet.

Luckily, it all makes perfect sense to you. Imagine if you didn’t even understand what you’d written yourself…lumumba wrote: 11 Sep 2026, 16:14

The rest of us are still trying to figure out what the hell you’re talking about.

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
Any info about the realisation of the installation of Starlink into the Brussels Airliens fleet?
Seems like only 1 A320 of LH is equipped by now...
Not one Brussels Airlines aircraft..
Meanwhile all SAS short haul planes have got the equipment...
Disappointing...

Target for the whole group fleet is 2029.
Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
Lufthansa firmed the options of 20 B737-10. It's not yet decided where they will be allocated. Deliveries will begin as from 2030.
As we know already, the 40 B737-10 are fully for Eurowings.
Maybe something for SN to replace the older A319 and A320?

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
IMHO, the 737 MAX 10s will also go for Eurowings. The last thing that SN wants is a mixed short-haul fleet.Atlantis wrote: 18 Sep 2026, 22:40 Lufthansa firmed the options of 20 B737-10. It's not yet decided where they will be allocated. Deliveries will begin as from 2030.

Small correction on my previous post, Eurowings Europe will receive the B737-8 and not -10.Atlantis wrote: 18 Sep 2026, 22:40 Lufthansa firmed the options of 20 B737-10. It's not yet decided where they will be allocated. Deliveries will begin as from 2030.

We can see now that the options of the 20 B737-10 are now placed under Eurowings
Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
The A320 and A320neo will be upgraded with a very nice feature to be gradually installed as from October. Stay tuned

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
Don't want to poke or my intention is not negative, just an honest question. What makes this such good news? Again: honest question, I simply don't know...
