Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
I agree. But the Big Boss never had good intentions with SN. Past or recent declarations were just a smoke screen. His "sergeants" will never disagree with him. If you see the expansion plans of EasyJet it is again obvious to me that SN needs A321 long range to increase destinations and fr...

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
Thank you for having taken the time to write such a long explication (to a layman). And thank you to aviation24 and this forum for making this possible.

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
Tell us when approximately please. 2030 ? In the meantime the airline does not make the profits it could make if it had less fuel consuming aircraft.oldblueeyes wrote: ↑27 Apr 2024, 06:38 Who says this?
It is a first allocation from group deliveries.
There is more to come with the phase out of the 319.

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
It is not that I don't believe you, obe, but I find it fantastical from IAG to include Air Europa in their list of "member" airlines when they own 20 % only of Air Europa and unethical to do so when the full acquisition is still under investigation. I hope, for competition reasons that thi...

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
Isn't the acquisition of Air Europa still under investigation by the European competition authorities ?

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
I agree with Jovan2. Whenever I may/can fly business class, I avoid SN (and perhaps also LX). There is indeed a holiday airline mindset among most SN cabin crew (maybe due to management and training). @Duke : you must have been luckier than me or the service has improved. One can always hope. It's b...

Re: Brussels Airport (BRU) infrastructure: future
Reopening the Satellite for aircraft and dis&embarking pax could be done in two ways imho. Either a minor renovation and dedicate it to low cost carriers ? Or a stylish renovation for full service airlines. Hey, Mr CEO ! Think of the return on investment from the rentals of the shops and food ou...

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
The absence of a divider curtain is not justifiable. As said by another member, all other non low cost airlines have it. It cannot be a major/expensive investment. It is, in my opinion, a question of respect towards high yield customers. SN's business class on the A319/320 is also far below average ...

Re: Brussels Airport (BRU) infrastructure: future
So, building a large office building and an extra hotel are BRU's priorities ? I must have missed something or is BRU no longer a real airport (but a Business District) ? In the end, BRU will become like LIS, a nightmare due to a lack a of political and commercial vision. We will end up taking the T...

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
Sorry, I don't understand what you mean.
If you have time to explain it to a layman... (thx).
In any case, will Boeing still exist in five years from know ? They are in dire straits.

Talking about harmonization... Just out of curiosity, does anyone have an idea why SN and Eurowings are getting different engines than LH, LX and OS ?

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
OK, I understood that SN is last in line when it comes to the Group's priorities. Hopefully, LH Group will not (be allowed to) acquire ITA. Otherwise, SN wil become N° 5 instead of N° 4. If OS got Embraers and LX A220's, there would be a business model (imho) for the E175-E2 or the A220-100 to fly t...

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
It remains strange that Spohr launches news about Brussels to become a hub for USA to Africa traffic. UA.AC and SN have hardly 7 or 8 flights a day. SN flies mostly to french speaking countries in Africa. Not hot spots for US citizens... At the same time SN has to downsize European network, cancell...

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
That is all long haul. I understand (correct me if I ma wrong) that allocating new or additional aircraft to airlines of the LH Group is a "Group" decision. My conclusion is, again, that the top managers of LH Group and SN do not see SN as a priority and do not recognize SN's needs both l...

Re: Brussels Airport (BRU) infrastructure: future
Difficult to understand why basic road maintenance works are not being done. (Would the commune of Zaventem or the Flemish Region be in charge of this ?).
And difficult to understand that there still is no proper drop off area and no upgrading of the arrivals taxis stand. Minor investments, I think.
