Re: SN dirt cheap to TLV, time to open up BEY?

Quite often when I work on the A330 there are always a few pax asking when SN will consider flying to BEY...(Africa--BEY via BRU) However those pax also know the competition (Etihad, Emirates, RAM and Afriqiya) with very smooth connections, so I've been told. And AF goes there with B773 and A332 eve...

Re: Ligte vliegtuig stort neer; insittendes nie beseer

Dankzy de Afrikaners praat ons alle bymekaar in Suid-Afrika, Vlaandere en Nederland een Wereldtaal: het West-Germaans.

(Om nog maar te zwijgen over Namibië, Suriname en de Caraiben, en een beetje in Indonesië). Weet iemand over hoeveel mensen het gaat in tot ongeveer?

Re: Stored Swiss A332 HB-IQR

This A/C started his career at Sabena as OO-SFU , maybe it will receive again an OO- registration http://www.ch-aviation.ch/aircraft.php Check out the Swiss fleet, they have 2 former Sabena A332 HB-IQQ and HB-IQR. These are the only 2 A332's who didn't find a new operator yet, almost all other A332'...

Re: Sabena or not...

There is no need to rebrand the name of Brussels Airlines, because nowadays Africans don't use the name sabena any longer. I never heared the name sabena popping up in the last 14 months that I fly to Africa 2/4 times a month. You can only spot the name on your invoice of a former sabena hotel (beca...

Re: american flight attendants

On United Airlines, it is not difficult to spot those who have started their carreer with Pan Am and through acquisitions are still working today with United. I rather have them on board than those who have started their carreer with Virgin and are now working on Brussels Airlines. How do you recog...

Re: The future of Brussels Airlines with Lufthansa

And no Combi's. Only true at first glance. Originally, 7 frames D-ABTA..F+H have been built and deliverd as 747-430M. They have been flying around in all-passenger configurations for some years now, but actually they are combis. OK, thanks for that info; I was not aware of this ... but would it be ...

Ofcourse I will still fly Kenya Airways. They seem perfectly safe to me and I find them even better than most European carriers.

Re: Long haul plans at Brussels Airport by 2011

LH flies to Accra, Abuja, Lagos, Port Hacourt, Malabo, Luanda, Karthoum,Asmara, Addis Abeba and Cairo with A333's and also to Capetown and J'bourg with other equipment.

I put my bet on Accra and Nigerian destinations.

There are also rumours about SN going to YUL and BOS, any more news about that?

Re: 'Only Four Airlines Will Survive'

How on earth is it possible that AZ still flies around, as the CAI investors haven't invested yet. A month ago there was no money left for keeping the company flying, so where do they get the money from to bridge this period before CAI take over.

Re: Brussels Airlines in new partnership with bmi

Why is SN not code sharing with BD to LHR, BD's main base in the UK. This does not make any sence at all.
