Hi all, Not so sure the number of inhabitants of the country itself is important. You need to compare catchment areas: BRU is not only the 11,5 million Belgian inhabitants (fairly well distributed around BRU), but also the Southern part of The Netherlands, Luxembourg, small part of Germany and (part...

Over the past years they also evolved towards more direct flights (instead of triangle flights). Maybe they want to do that even more if they have an additional plane? But I guess some of the additional destinations will be rather European since the new A330 is already 'claimed' for starting Nairobi...

Do we know which special livery it will get, or is this still a 'surprise'?

One of the A319 is in the paint shop: OO-SSA ... D OO-SSA is back from the paint shop in East Midlands (EMA), now OO-SSB flew there for its paintjob (yesterday). Only 3 A319 left in the old livery. A bit strange since I thought 5 would leave the fleet to be replaced by the A320neo. Why repainting s...

I love the extra large bins (experienced them when flying to Zurich on a similar A320neo).

It improves so much the boarding time ... I only hope pax will now not bring even more luggage

Danny

I don't think so. I noticed these flights were already stopped by the start of the winter season and even before.

On the one hand, many long haul did not yet return: e.g. Atlanta, Bangkok, Hong Kong, Shanghai ... or are operated at a reduced frequency, e.g. Tokyo. Other airports have a lot of tourism travel, such as the ones in Southern Europe, BRU has those a lot less. Holiday travel is booming. In general als...

It seems they start gradually ... One flight a day for at least tomorrow and the day after, if I am not wrong ....

Hi André,

When travelling through Frankfurt on Monday I also saw an AB A330 leaving the gate and starting its journey. Not sure for whom that was.

Hi all, Maybe I am living on another planet, but I never had real problems to upgrade or have a free ticket (e.g. for my wife). Only with LH, if you want to upgrade in the airport prior to leaving, you are on a waiting list since usually they have 'overbookings' or other people are also on the waiti...

Already scheduled tomorrow to Kigali-Entebbe!

Was SFB repainted?

Congratulations to Brussels Airlines and all their employees for their effort. Slowly growing and keeping costs under control made where they are now. Let the bashers behind you with all the unrealistic destinations we heard from them. Well done and hopefully LH will reward you for it. What can we ...

Is it the SN pilots that are doing the tests or rather pilots from Airbus?

If I am not wrong it is maintenance and not painting, so it will rather take 2 months or so, no? D But here above it was mentioned about paint. I know, but I just follow this site to see status of aircraft: https://sites.google.com/view/europeanairlinefleets/bel?authuser=0 I just assume this is cor...

Does anyone know how the bookings for Nairobi are doing?

We are preparing a project over there and it would be great to be able to use a direct connection ...
