Re: Jet Airways out of Brussels?

Will Jet Airways leave Brussels Airport all together? No, that's not the intention. Yes, they will. Unfortunatelly. And in days max weeks all speculation can stop, after they announce. Which will be good. This is a story that was waiting to happen once Air India came to Star, Etihad invested in Jet...

I think Emirates changed CPH for BRU on this route... EK 9998

Grts
Yes, they did since start winter schedule. And correct they replace CPH by BRU.

Re: BRU pax operations: the future

Emirates: due to traffic right restrictions they can not go to a second flight without a new bilateral agreement. Expect them to go to an A380 somewhere in 2017, as the airport advised they need around 18 months to be ready for scheduled operations. Jet Airways: expect them to announce soon they wil...

As of mid October, Emirates Sky Cargo will operate via Brussels Airport twice a week. On day 1 and 5, a B777F will make a stop on the route from ORD to DXB. EK has commercial traffic rights to sell cargo on those stretches to and from BRU.

I avoid them at all cost...The train trip is hateful, double check in.. security at CDG.. the trip takes for ever..and the return is even worse, often having to wait at a damp dark drafty train station at CDG for an hour or 2 to take a train that makes a detour through Lille europe!!!

And if flights are operated out of MST, that is no competition for LGG / TNT ? Haven't read a single argument why it is competition, besides they fly to the same destination. As so many do. So how does TNT think they will get the cargo from the DHL customers ?? On the jobs: national bank of Belgium ...

It's also important not to increase the number of night flights over Brussels, especially cargo flights. They don't have that problem at Liège, so the decision of the government makes sense ET flights are day time flights, not night flights. Arriving in the morning, departure in the late afternoon....

Since liberals from both Liège and Brussels have pleaded with Galant to suspend traffic rights from BRU, I assume the night flights discussion from BRU has something to do with it? Maybe relieving tension on this dossier, on the back of hundreds of people who loose their jobs? So the Brussels bourg...

(but obviously the amount of job is a big joke...) University of Antwerp and also National Bank did this calculation before, and their outcome in general is that 100 tons of cargo equals 1 job. So 10.000 ton is good for 100 direct jobs. But that includes everything, from loaders to warehouse people...

But "BRU" is right, we can't force anyone to move to a regional airport, the risk is very big to see the trafic going outside Belgium. Well ... that's for 3,6% of cargo trafic, it doesnt sound like much, but is it enough to create a bigger move ? If it was "only" 3,6%, that woul...

That study is competely wrong and is only there to proof what they want to proof... A complete night ban will result in much more cargo and jobs being lost.
