According to luchtvaartnieuws.nl and other international media Scoot (the LCC of Singapore Airlines) is planning to fly to 3-4 European cities in 2017. One of it's managers claims it won't be a 'traditional European destination'... Could Brussels be a possibility? The first European destination for...

Re: Brussels Airlines future and financial perspective

300 Eur or even 400 Eur on lite, is not cheap.. Compare it with what you get on LX or even LH ... I have never found this 39 Eur or 69 Eur o.w. Fare.. That's cheap.. But paying 400 Eur return In lite.. Well.. One pays LX fares and gets inferior to easyjet service. I have found it a few times. Flyin...

Re: Brussels Airlines introduces Economy Plus on longhaul flights

Back on topic: if one looks at the amount of the surcharge, Brussels Airlines Economy Plus has to be compared to KLM Economy Comfort (surcharge 90€ to 150€), and not to British Airways Premium Economy (example BA World Traveller Plus). British Airways Premium Economy is indeed a lot better, but the...

Re: Reopening Brussels Airport after the 22/03/2016 terror attacks

Maybe slightly off topic, since it's a bit of a personal question. This Friday I have a flight at 18:50 to Oslo. (Normally it would have been after 7pm) The earliest I can be in the airport is at 17:20. So I have about 1hour and a half if everything goes well. Do you guys think I will make the fligh...

Re: BRU Summer 2016: news, new routes, airlines

Hi all, 3) I think Beirut is still an option. I think that quite a number of people flying to Tel Aviv are heading to Beirut. Plus the current service is relatively limited (and is BRU not combined with AMS?). I don't have figures, but think the demand is there. Danny I don't think this is possible...

Re: Cancelled services and discontinued routes in 2016

KLM have cancelled or postponed Tehran resumption in May. KLM and Eurowings cancelling Tehran, that's strange considering the potential all the economists and media are talking about... and I can tell you Iran has a huge touristic potential, wonderful sights and people!

Re: Interview of CEO Gustin: Brussels Airlines renamed Eurowings? ...and other topics

There's an article on deredactie.be where it says that the employees and unions are worried for the future.
The spokesman Sciot says that SN won't become a classic low cost airline.
