Situation is seriously worsening at SN. With such a financial slope, they won’t make it until the end of August. And this comes from a very good and highly ranked source inside SN. The “fake bookings” aren’t a long term treasury solution and they even play with fire in keeping it on that way. Many B...

According to https://sites.google.com/site/lhgroupfleet/brussels , they are preparing 7 A319 (5) & 320 (2) for entrance into service from 15/06 onwards. The same source states there are already 3 A330 active ... Cheers Danny Those three have been kept active for some AFI flights (CKY, ABJ, FIH....

The "new" intercontinental schedule is now published: https://www.routesonline.com/news/38/airlineroute/291659/brussels-airlines-june-august-2020-intercontinental-operations-as-of-04jun20/ It seems like it's the end of the road for both of their A330-200s. OO-SFT/Z will be probably returne...

I'm not flying anymore at the moment as i'm studying, but when I was flying full time on the long haul as a cabin crew, I was reaching almost each month 3000 euros. I really would like to know what is you definition of "poor wages and working condition" in your humble opinion. I flown for...

Imho, CS's plan B (which could actually be his plan A) is to let go bust both LH ans SN (and OS ?) and replace LH's and SN's intra-European flights by EW. Now, what about the intercontinental flights ? New collective agreement, inferior remuneration and working conditions. I doubt trade unions woul...

Regarding what was written in La Libre and other press articles: - SN needs A330s. The version they used right now is an HGW version of the A330-300 and thus ideal for cargo. Cargo is an extremely important revenue source for SN. Both for AFI and NA. The A321LR thing is pure BS as far as SN is conce...

Flights are further suspended until June 1st. No surprise here, there are just no bookings to justify a restart.

Some cargo-only flights might take place towards Africa as from next week.

If the ten aircrafts include OO-SFJ/K/L/P and the Cityjet CRJs, it would be rather good news. But I fear that CRJs are considered as outsourced production. And the four ex-Lufthansa's A333, despite being OO-registered, still in Lufthansa's books as Lufthansa mainline assets... I rather fear that the...

Negociations LH/"BeGov" are paused at the moment amidst mutual tensions.

Tomorrow is D-Day for Brussels Airlines. Possibly large number of layoffs for a much smaller but viable carrier. Curious. Tomorrow is today. Something happened ? For as far as we know, no big announcement (like e.g. Austrian 's press release) made at today's "virtual meeting". But maybe a...

I won't resume the discussion on refunds, but it's now very clear that SN is in deep need of cash. Ryanair is very responsive on refunds it seems, this won't help SN commercially either. Yesterday I could grab some info thanks to a friend working there: - May 15th is the earliest date to restart SOM...

I was due to fly BRU-Montreal in June, outbound on SN, inbound on AC... and my outbound leg is now rebooked on Air Canada (seemingly on a Dreamliner). :( It wasn't an SN award fare but well a Star Alliance business fare I was booked on Lufthansa site. I'm not sure they're going to start Montreal ops...

I was talking to a good friend TRI/TRE flying for Brussels Airlines and the future looks very dark. Lufthansa Group will give financial priority to Lufthansa FIRST and nothing is sure about a Belgian State Aid, cash situation is critical at SN as we speak (type...). The current situation is that SN ...

Finally some time to write here something after a very hectic time. Sorry if the question was already but I had no time to read everything On our Brucargo it is now busier than ever. Really a lot of cargo flights and even more to come. There is even lack of capacity as belly cargo felt away. Would ...

Note that this will be the very last A330-300 “CEO” ever built.

Does this one have the full new cabin C-W and Y ? :?: As for the paint scheme, I trust SN's brains creativity at b.house to issue a drawing contest and a scheme that will be stickered to stay on the "reboot" scope and frame (with the internal moto "da moet niks kosten hé"). Jokes...

What I read here is utter BS. The situation where there is only one F.A in the aft galley is when the duty free sales are in progress or the inventory and sales are being completed in the front / mid galley by the rest of the F.A. That might take up to 3 (!!) hours on a december or july Kinshasa fli...

The remaining lease contract on SFX and uncertain future of that specific plane afterwards doesn't make a 10 million Euro investment in all new seats, galleys, lighting,... - like on the 7 'new' purchased (by LH) A333s - worth it. A pity yes in product consistency, but same issue as on the 2 remain...

OO-SFX was indeed the first "new" A333 of the renewal project, when they received it, it had the SQ Regional interior. During its previous C-check it received the standard SN interior (I think in MLA) but this was done before the newest product was introduced. Hence, I assume they wanted t...

Does flight number SN9908 has a special meaning ?
Alain.

"Callsign 99xx" is generally a technical flight / maintenance check or positioning flight.
