Re: Brussels Airlines in 2023

I completely understand and agree with longwing's point about the inconsistency of SN when it comes to their (long haul) aircraft. It's a "potpourri" of different liveries, interiors,... I understand that a new livery or interior can't be applied immediately and that it can wait until a sc...

Re: Brussels Airport (BRU) infrastructure: future

It would be great if they could remove that low ceiling. Or even a part of it, and make the roof gradually lower like this for example: https://npr.brightspotcdn.com/legacy/sites/wfae/files/201910/new_clt_lobby.jpg Curved lines are always more pleasing to the eye ;) Possibilities are endless, exciti...

Re: Brussels Airport (BRU) infrastructure: future

What exactly do you want them to change inside? The options in the 90's-terminal are very limited. On the contrary. The possibilities are endless. Within the existing structures, you can change literally everything (floors, ceilings, position/design of checkin counters, shops,...) The terminal coul...

Re: Brussels Airport (BRU) infrastructure: future

So yes. The airport represents this kind of cacaphony that is Belgium. A mix of new and old, not sticking to 1 style (I think it's ugly as **** but that's another story ) Point taken :lol: And where the hell you will go with all the passengers if you want to start from 0 again?? Easy to say from an...

Re: Brussels Airport (BRU) infrastructure: future

One more thing about the architecture of the new developments at BRU. I hope they realize these new structures will be here for decades to come, so the architecture should be interesting, remarkable, pleasing to the eye. Not like the bland, boring "design" of the new Compass building for e...

Re: Brussels Airport (BRU) infrastructure: future

A week or 2 ago we had the presentation of the new development around the terminal. It will be a huge project which contains the extention of the terminal, a second hotel on the site and a few new office buildings. In front of it will be a huge square. The reason why building 1 of DHL is still not ...

Re: Brussels Airport (BRU) infrastructure: future

Arrived at the B Pier yesterday. Oh my, the overall 'look' of this pier looks terribly dated. Knowing BRU, I was expecting some old fashioned 'infrastructure' at B-Pier, but even I was surprised... Seriously BAC, you have to accelerate the renovation of your old fashioned airport! Practically all Eu...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2023

Is it correct that, after more than a year that the new livery was introduced, only 2 A330's are repainted in the new livery? Hi, That's + , less work to repaint them... After a year the livery stays very ugly, horrific.... We can only hope on a new logo, little adaption .... There still is nothing...

This is bad! Josh Cahill is one of the most popular and most watched airline reviewers on Youtube....

And the interview continues: Gerber says SN makes no money on the short haul.
.... then why SN has so few long haul routes...?


Really don't understand why they don't invest more in long haul (routes).... especially towards Asia.

I guess that is "we fly you" is more like a personal message ! ;) I'm sure this would be the explanation of the marketing agency ;) Still, doesn't sound good to me. “Flying you to the home of …” Ah, the perfect compromise :P OO-SFJ seems to have problems getting home... AMM BRU canceled o...

Ok, lol :P Small note: " we fly you to the home of the Belgian Red Devils & Red Flames " is a very long text! :shock: I've always wondered why they didn't go for the simpler (and easier to read) " Flying to the home of Tintin/Tomorrowland/..." Anyway, it's nice to see the tai...
