Has the CityJet SSJ contract already been expanded with a fourth aircraft? Because checking fr24, it appears all three SSJ's in SN colors, plus EI-FWC have all been flying pretty full schedules in the past week.

The Lufthansa Group is one of the biggest airline groups in the world. They have means. At this moment they have about 200(!) new planes on oder. Why couldn't they just reserve some of these planes for SN, or order 10 extra? Because: -none of the planes currently on order are suitable replacements ...

To some people, the glass really is always half empty, isn't it?

And still, mixed ops means higher capacity. You can't compare single rwy throughput with mixed ops on parallel runways. With mixed ops you have arrivals on 25L & R. These have to be staggered, except when in Simultaneous Independent Arrivals mode (only for ILS approach, RNP approach (recent add...

The number of heavies is largely irrelevant in the way LHR operates: thy bundle heavies together for both take-offs and landings, meaning they only lose capacity when a heavy is followed by a smaller plane. This isn't realy somehing that's up for debate you know: mixed ops means larger capacity. I ...

LHR has a lot more heavies than LGW. Landing and take off roll are longer so reduced capacity. If alternating TO/LDG would create extra capacity LHR would be dong it on both runways. The number of heavies is largely irrelevant in the way LHR operates: thy bundle heavies together for both take-offs ...

Teach, I think you misunderstood HUE, landing capacity can be increased by using the two runways, but it makes you loose more in take off capacity, so the overall capacity decreases. Using 25L for take off would considerably reduce landing capacity. You could use it occasionally for departures in t...

relocating the RWY25L threshold will alleviate the problem especially because, thanks to the necessary parallel TWY to be built also, this will enable spreading the departures over two runways. But even this is not an "easy solution". 1 runway for arrivals and 1 runway for departures is s...

what does 'walking very hard' mean?

It doesn't. First 30 minutes is 2 Euros, unless you get a free Pcard+ from Interparking, then the first 30 minutes are free.

Does anyone know if and when they will start expanding the parking facilities? It was mentioned here a while back that Front Park 3 would be expanded, but so far nothing has happened. On the news this morning it was said that people were advised to come to BRU by public transport because pretty much...

Allow me to say such is a little bit superficial, since those people clearly haven't thought the 2 options over and are just being guided by the adrenaline they'd love to finally feel when they'd read up on a significant new order being placed by Brussels Airlines in the international press. Let's ...

brussels airlines expands leased SuperJet service from June 2017 brussels airlines last week extended planned Sukhoi SuperJet SSJ100 aircraft operation into October 2017. The leased aircraft from CityJet entered operation with SN on 26MAR17. SSJ100 aircraft will gradually enter operations on follow...

Milan center to malpenza : 50min Brussels center to LGG : 55min And just like in milan, BRU will stay a business airport like linate :) And nobody in Milan likes Malpensa and Linate is still open... and remains the airport of choice when you have to be in Milan City Center and they even build a sub...

Lufthansa doesn't need to 'open their purses' for this fleet renewal if the planes are leased, which they almost certainly will be, so that's not really relevant. Although the initial investment of a lease is much lower, in the end you are still paying off a brand new aircraft in your monthly rates...

Let's hope they FINALLY get some factory new aircraft. They deserve it. The three SSJ100s (on wet-lease from CityJet) will be factory new. Other than that, I highly doubt that Muttie Luftie will open its purse for new aircraft for SN. Lufthansa doesn't need to 'open their purses' for this fleet ren...

It is indeed an A330-competition, but that still leaves us some options... I am also a little bit excited about it. :) There are already a couple of things known, eg that it will have dedicated Y+ class and wifi. Didn't you write here a while ago that they would be new-builds? Because if that's the...

Will be less of an issue when the border screening gets done in Brussels as that will be a much shorter queue

Don't count on that happening as long as The Orange One is in charge in the US.
