Does not explain why not take a bigger part of the market if it exist... Barcelona is a good example why not fly more if there is the potential to do so! Short answer, finite resources. Planes = more frequencies to BCN means less frequencies elsewhere, what city would you downgrade, and why? Staff ...

Confirms my point; no ambition, happy to be an underdog. How sad for our national airline. Let us give everything to our competitors. Which competitors? Low-cost airlines? Pinky-swear you won't complain about the inevitable decline in service if Brussels goes full low-cost? This for a business rout...

Lufthansa will fight tooth and nail to keep Brussels Airlines, not because it is so valuable (though it is, to a point), but because giving it up would be inviting IAG to their backyard.

UA and AC are using from time to time the older ones but this bcs of demand and availability. With a slot request they have to stipulate which type of planes they will use, with the side note that it can change due to demand and availability. United stayed with the 787 for the summer season not bec...

On a side note, SN contributes around 36,5% of the Brussels airport traffic at this moment. This is a surprisingly low number. Is that about average? Lufthansa, Air France, and British Airways all have about ten percentage points more in their respective home airports (and these are the only three ...

To claim otherwise is folly. This is obviously not about a few pictograms pointing passengers to the train station. If this is all you retained, no wonder you can't understand how unfriendly to non-locals the public transport options are. It would be foolish to think anyone would land unprepared. I...

Badly connected, not well connected. Public transport at BRU is designed solely for passengers from Brussels and its immediate vicinity and employees. Badly connected? There's from STIB line 12 which is very frequent ( minimum 4 per hour from Schuman) There's De Lijn all around, even a night line c...

First question BRU is well connected with public transportation!? Badly connected, not well connected. Public transport at BRU is designed solely for passengers from Brussels and its immediate vicinity and employees. The other question I'm not sure you will find another space in Belgium far enough ...

Perhaps BBL should read this: https://luchtvaartnieuws.nl/nieuws/categorie/3/airports/onderzoek-bijdrage-luchtvaart-aan-luchtvervuiling-blijkt-nihil?fbclid=IwAR1ZN1HMNsoRUYUwMDOBqHIlHExJaGNylP7VXNBzK2XwLcMC74_uuQzJf8Q The argument that another source pollutes more as an excuse for inaction is only ...

Well, I can't remember whether a CEO is group 2 or 3 at CDG. If 3, then a NEO gets a deeper discount in MAD, and that's one of the most expensive airports (save for LHR, a class of its own). Even if the CEO is group 2, the NEO does get a bigger noise discount in CDG but it is offset in less than an ...

Why has OO-SBA been deployed on short routes till now (CDG, LHR, MUC, FRA,..., mostly routes less than 1 hour..; except BCN)? Is this for crew familiarisation? As the engines on the 320neo are more economic than those on the 320ceo, I would have expected to see the neo on longer routes of 2 hours a...

What was the AOG? Engine swap?

For some reasons, no BRU on their list at all while here is no competition on certain routes. In LIS e.g. they have a lot of competition Sometimes there is no competition because there is not enough demand to have competition. JetBlue has less than 10 A321LRs and they're all based in BOS or JFK. Mo...

Ryanair are certainly very vocal about new destinations, but silent in all languages when a destination is dropped (but maybe that's true for all airlines). I've seen other airlines bury the announcements in one-sentence statements at the end of press releases about happier events such as new desti...

Of course they shoud have the right to wear a hijab. But passengers have the right to regret that, after so many years when it was forbidden, they feel the desire, the need, or maybe the social obligation to wear it. What passenger would "regret" that flight attendants have the right to a...

You can compare. As long as you compare airports with around the same number of annual pax. What you can't compare are the inhabitants. Poland is indeed much bigger but much poorer in the huge country side they have. Population size is relevant. As economic standards improve throughout the country ...

O/D to overseas territories on which AF/KL now have a (near)monopoly? Can't speak for The Netherlands. O/D travel to French overseas territories includes a large portion of government-funded travel that will not go to Brussels Airlines, however. Brussels Airlines would fight for the VFR/leisure mar...

What a lack of ambition from SN and/or LH. BRU and SN could easily take away market-share and PAX from AMS and CDG. And how would they accomplish that easily? Leisure travelers are first and foremost price sensitive. Business travelers focus on frequencies, preferably daily if not more often than t...

Third, what happened in AMS is a clear sign for all those action groups around BRU who want the same for BRU as what was happening at AMS. Now they are faced that you cannot stop an industry like this. This is a blessing for BRU too bcs the new environment permit has to be requested as from next ye...

Even on same type and series, you can’t compare an airline to another, because each operator gets to choose what equipment it will install in-house vs having it installed at the factory. A previous poster mentioned Brussels is installing a cabin communication system, a little more complex than loadi...
