Some more news: De Croo states that if they bailout SN they also expect the shareholders to pump money into the company as well.

Some news about Spohr's position: https://www.tagesschau.de/wirtschaft/lufthansa-krise-101.html I have tried to summarise from a google translation as I don't know German, but here is the gist of it: Basically he saying he doesn't want to be told where to fly from by politicians.

I don't know if this means anything but Singapore Airlines in recent inventory update filed changes to its planned Singapore – Brussels service, scheduled to resume on 25OCT20. As of 0645GMT 22APR20, the Star Alliance carrier is only accepting reservation in full-fare Z / S / Y-class (Business, Prem...

OS is starting negotiations with the Austrian government. It also includes the LHG Board. Moderators - feel free to delete if this is in violation - I'm quoting a person from airliners.net The person (mxaxai) in airliners.net gives a good overview of what will be discussed. OS and LH leadership (boa...

Eurowings has abysmal results, even their shift to profitability hasn't worked.

Breaking news : Davignon quits / Smets in ! https://www.lecho.be/entreprises/aviation/davignon-passe-le-flambeau-a-la-tete-de-brussels-airlines/10221106.html Since I am not familiar with the 2 people, what does this mean for SN? Any change or is it just musical chairs with Christina going on the bo...

My take on this - it will affect everyone. SN if I am not mistaken is break-even (no profit or loss). They should be fine. OS in all honesty while 'doing better' but not really in my eyes has handful, Wizzair and Lauda + Malta Air will not stop expanding and will probably continue to do so. LH bette...

I am using LOT a lot now that I have moved to Kyiv for my BRU flights and other parts in Europe. Ukraine International is not in a good financial situation. They are planning to send back 3 737 to lessors. They stopped Amman, Riga, Krakow, Almaty, Minsk, Beijing, Bangkok (this was before the shootin...

RAM to go through a reorganisation

A new A320 NEO has been spotted in Toulouse doing test flights. A revised livery is expected. Improvements to IFE is also rumored. Normally on the 12th of December at SKG (Thessaloniki) there will be an unveiling of the new livery as well as S2020 destinations. A3 has a total of 20 A320 neos and 10 ...

They are still trying to define the reboot plan, I heard from the grapevine. Hopefully this is part of an optimisation of the network, because they could potentially earn more with better timings for different destinations. I know A3 (very different market) but it does stop some of its "year ro...

It didn't start because of the attacks and they overall did not do well in MUC.

Do we have any info about potential longhaul flights? Rumor SQ is looking at BOS, can they do a SIN-BRU-BOS like they do SIN-FRA-JFK or SIN-MAN-IAH

Lauda has also been given the go ahead to grow also to gain market share. Really bad news for OS with W6 and OE going to battle it out.

Most EU airlines don't have 'extra'security to TLV it is, it is mainly EL AL. They wanted to fly to CPH but didn't start the route as the DK government refused to grant the Israeli's their own security staff for CPH airport. I don't think there is that much demand to Africa and Dublin. Also DUB I as...

And there are now cuts in premium economy and economy. https://onemileatatime.com/lufthansa-reducing-economy-meal-service/ At this point I am happy it chose IB for my trip to MEX in February. Much cheaper 800 euros instead of 1200 in premium economy. To be honest - cost cutting only achieves so much...

Any news on potential long haul flights or is that not happening?

SN should focus on itself and not wait till Austrian is profitable to do cuts itself. OS is 'technically' doing better than SN - bigger transfer market. But their bread and butter (Balkans and Eastern Europe) is getting trashed. With Wizz Air and Lauda especially, the O&D will not necessarily pi...

I also concur that SN need better integration with other Star Alliance partners. Obviously for some partners it depends much more on LH (they also need an attitude shake up but that is just my opinion). I also wish that SN would collaborate much more with SNCB/NMBS. It would be nice to get some Euro...
