Re: BRU Winter 2024-2025: News, new routes, airlines

Fun fact: SN will add flights on some destinations served.....by Vueling...from Brussels Alicante, Bilbao, Malaga and Valencia will get more flights. Only flights to Barcelona will be reduced. Of course! They have to fight against competition or it's a lost battle in advance... This will not bring ...

Re: BRU Winter 2024-2025: News, new routes, airlines

Nothing to do with it. But if the own airline, and it's even not a Belgian airline but a German one 😉, cannot do it, don't sit in the corner and cry. Business is business and if there are others who can fill the gap bcs there is a huge demand, why not? Why refuse them? Free market. BTW, Virgin Expr...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2024

Let's see things pragmatically - the business model fo the airline follows the customer demand. You can catch up some seasonality via maintenance, but not if peaks/lows are extreme. Thus, there are two options : - you design your own business model so that you have part time employees working mainl...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2024

Reliance on wet leases as a strategy concerns me not a little. This is not a strategy shared by the other (so-called) full-service carriers Brussels wants to compete with, and for a reason: pretty hard to maintain consistent hard/soft product standards. If wet leases are not strategically deployed,...

Re: Goedkopevliegtuigtickets.be experience & questions

Have a look on trustpilot.

I personally always avoid booking through third party websites, it’s always a mess if there is any problem with your booking, or should you require assistance for any reason.

Interview with the CFO : Brussels Airlines unable to wet-lease this summer Have you concluded any wet-lease agreements for this year? We haven't found any. Wet-lease airlines are often more interested in leasing for a whole year and not just for one season. There's a shortage of supply on the marke...

If I'm not wrong, it was already expected for last year.

Re: 2024 Liège Airport (LGG/EBLG) latest news

It is misleading because it's too shortcutted. A title is the first impression of an article. In this case, those who do not know the story would first believe there is a negative advice about the permit in general. It's not the case. The Walloon Region is behind Liege Airport and supports it, only ...

And on top of this, the Walloon government has the intention to go to the Conseil D'etat to annul the permit for Brussels Airport. The reason they give is that they were not heard during the investigation of the permit. Pure Kafka in Belgium. At the end, everybody will lose Very sad, indeed. All th...
