Well I have a new one for Brussels. BMI regional are starting a flight from Aberdeen (ABZ) to Brussels from April 16th. Everyday except Saturdays on an ERJ 135 or 145.

Leaves ABZ 1215 - arrives in Brussels at 1500
Leaves BRU 1530 - arrives in Aberdeen at 1610

BMI Regional have a bit of a hub developing in Aberdeen and this can only help. Other international destination BMI Regional serve from ABZ are Kristiansand, Esbjerg, Groningen and Amsterdam.

Not sure who it is aimed at serving though. There is no codeshare with SN or anything but maybe it connects well with SN flights to some spots in Africa? I know it doesn't for Luanda.......

Albanian may come to BRU as well, as stated in the latest news.
The only thing I can say: they are more then welcome.
2007 will be a historic year for BRU with all those new destinations and carriers. :D
Hope every route will survive.

Hello

Indeed, BRU is good on the way getting seriously bigger (in number of flights).


The better for everyone! :D(except the people in the 'Noordrand' :roll: )
2007 will be a historic year for BRU with all those new destinations and carriers. Very Happy
Hope every route will survive.
I hope so too , because in the past we had a few unfortunate new routes wich didn't really last long. This combined with some airlines gone bankrupt (ex. Hellas Jet and Volare ) made that the former couple of years where not THAT good concerning new flights. Hope BRU will keep going on like this.


Best regards: Yannick ;)

Little correction: the Noordrand is more or less "democratic", you can negociate with them. I understand you will mean the Oostrand and Brussels.

But that's not about the topic :wink:

Ist: +1
Ank: +2

Only three more flights. But I think that they always increase their flights at the beginning of the summer season.

Brussels Airport loaded the new flights to Philadelphia: from 02.06 till 05.09 daily with a B757.

From 06.09 till 25.10 four flights a week with a mixed fleet: B757 - B767.

Somebody knows why they decrease the flights in the second period of the summer?

On their website Brussels is stated as a new future destination, as is Bari.
I wonder if the route be flown by their new Fokker 50, which has joined their fleet or by one of their 3 Bae146's.
Anyone an idea when they'll start this new service into BRU and which aircraft type it will be?
