Re: Eurowings in 2019

I read that US routes would be a possibility too.

Eurowings in 2019

New destinations on the long haul side?
According to German media, both LH and EW confirm that EW might start long haul operations from FRA.
As both SunExpress and Brussels Airlines already operate 330 flights for EW, which of the 2 will it be from FRA?

Re: LH closing SJC

1.My bet is on EW to start this route.
2.An A346 is way langer then an A343.

Re: Eurowings changes the strategy

Not sure EW will stop flying 340´s. My friend at SN told me last week SN is still looking for A340 CPT+FO for their DUS base.

Re: Lufthansa to take charge of LCC Eurowings long haul network

I guess it’s just a rumour, my friend over at SN hasn’t heard anything. SN is the competence center of the EW-group long haul operations.

Re: Lufthansa to take charge of LCC Eurowings long haul network

And what would be the role of Lufthansa compared to SN’s role?

Re: Lufthansa to take charge of LCC Eurowings long haul network

That would not be good news for SN as they were appointed to take care of the long haul operations of the Eurowings Group.

Re: Eurowings announces Newark

Don’t forget they also announced DUS-LAS starting 07/2019 3 weekly with A343.

Re: Thomas Cook Mulling Airline Sale

It could be a nice opportunity for EW/LH to set foot in the UK after the BMI debacle.

So why is Lufthansa not just ordering new A330neos for them or maybe 787-9? Their current leased fleet is too diverse, old and unreliable to be operated at some lowcost airline.

Re: Eurowings to consolidate its core in short-haul low cost, leaving long-haul for Brussels Airlines

With all the competition OS will get in the coming period from LaudaMotion, Level and Wizz it looks as they will be the next to merge into EW.

Re: Eurowings to consolidate its core in short-haul low cost, leaving long-haul for Brussels Airlines

To do this, they should have gotten the AB 330’s as well

Re: Austrian´s old longhaul fleet

Nothing I’m mentioning in public. Etihad and Lufthansa are very close. Well founded speculation that that the 330 and 777 fleet are heading to LH group as Etihad seeks a way to dramatically scale down when LH are seeking ways to grow EW long haul into profitability. Even a plan to take the 330 airc...

The future of the OS and Eurowings fleet renewal lies in Abu Dhabi. The 332’s are heading to Lufthansa Group.

Re: Austrian restructuring longhaul network, focus on US and China

They will most probably become EW too

Re: Which European airlines do not connect their capitals to the European Capital Brussels?

Soon there will be no more real Belgian airline connecting BRU to other European capitals. SN short haul will more then likely become EW.

Re: Next Lufthansa Group longhaul destinations

And SN is getting nada!

Re: "Only a man can run an airline."

A slap in the face of Christina Foerster, CEO of Brussels Airlines. But then, is she really the CEO? Spohr put her there to let SN integrate into his baby...Eurowings! But AAB on the other really thinks he can say whatever he wants, he’s a real bully. Poor female QR staff

Re: LH Spohr: OS to postpone long-haul fleet renewal

I just wonder how SN would have looked like right now if they would have closed the deal with BA instead of LH. When they agreed with LH to be taken over xx years ago, the CEO at that time, Mayrhuber i believe, his plans with SN were totally different and better for SN then Spohr’s plans. It was to ...

Re: Qatar Airways/Air Italy decline paint job of first A330 into new livery, first 737MAX8 painting revealed

Re: Lufthansa looking to expand in Asia Pacific

The SN African destinations are separate from the DUS ops. LH recently added destinations like NBO, they separated or will do so, the FRA JED ADD flight, flying FRA ADD N/S which means that they will have additional capacity to connect with ET LH acquired SN for Africa but isn’t doing a lot with it...

Re: Lufthansa looking to expand in Asia Pacific

Spohr recently also expressed that Africa was the next continent to be expanded upon. It was looking bright for SN to finally open new African destinations but the only expansion they received is long haul operations out of DUS. If they don’t watch out others will start filling the gaps out of BRU....

Re: LH CEO: A321LR Range Not Enough

For IAG+TP+DY the A321LR is a great airplane for TATL. But once you get to interior Europe, route options would shrink to BOS, NYC, PHL, Baltimore/DC, PIT and maybe a couple others. Airlines aren’t going to use them to NYC because of slot restrictions. So does it make sense to have a subfleet of ai...

Re: Sonair ending Houston-Luanda service

Time will tell but I think this is an opportunity.

Re: Eurowings A340 ops starting March 8th, 2018

Training flights for the crew are the reason why they’re using them on european routes.

Re: Sonair ending Houston-Luanda service

Maybe an opperunity for SN to start IAH? Lufthansa stated some weeks ago that the group is expanding in Africa. Let SN start LOS, a destination that should have been started years ago. If that works out, start IAH, an unserved route from BRU which is also a star hub.

Re: Brussels Airlines ordered to cut flights to DRC

DRC wants more $$$ from Belgium and punishes SN by limiting their Operations into the DRC. It’s all about Benjamins

The A343 are better for that. They are cheaper to operate and the capacity matches the needs of SN/EW better.

Re: LH retiring most (or all?) A340-600?

Can they not stall them at BRU? SN Brussels Airlines should start to expand again imho. I know their newish 330’s are coming to replace the current fleet but nothing so far on African/American/Indian expansion out of BRU
