SN Brussels Airlines adds 9 new destinations to its winter service

In comparison with last year SN Brussels Airlines is offering 7 new direct destinations this winter. Sofia, Malta, Oviedo, Moscow, New York, Istanbul, Riga, Tallinn and Vilnius appear for the first time in SN’s just published winter schedule.

SN Brussels Airlines crosses the symbolic milestone of one hundred flight destinations this winter. From Sunday 31 October, SN customers can fly to no fewer than 103 destinations served directly by SN Brussels Airlines or by SN partners.

SN’s European network now comprises 57 destinations of which 41 are served by SN Brussels Airlines aircraft and 16 by partner airlines. On the African continent, SN is flying to 14 destinations this winter with its own Airbus 330 aircraft. This winter, 32 American destinations will be flown with our partner American Airlines. The 2 daily direct flights from Brussels to Chicago and Brussels to New York JFK offer easy connections to thirty cities on the American continent.

Scandinavia: Thanks to a new partnership with Malmoe Aviation, SN customers can fly directly between the European capital and Sweden no fewer than ten times a day. On working days Stockholm is the destination five times per day (2 rotations performed by SN, 3 by Malmoe Aviation) and Gothenburg five times per day (four flights by SN, 1 by Malmoe Aviation). Customers can enjoy a full service (business and economy, meals and drinks, newspapers) on the SN Brussels Airlines and Malmoe Aviation aircraft.

From 5 December SN is also replacing Stockholm’s ‘Arlanda’ airport with ‘Bromma’ city airport. Bromma, which is close to the centre of Stockholm, offers many advantages over Arlanda, which is a good 45 kilometres away from Stockholm. For example, check-in is possible up to fifteen minutes before departure and a taxi or bus trip to the centre is significantly cheaper. Thanks to this new cooperation with Malmoe Aviation, SN Brussels Airlines has the most extensive range of flights available between Brussels and Sweden.

SN’s new partner Sun Air is connecting the important business region of Billund (Jutland) in Denmark with Brussels twice per day from this winter. The schedule makes day trips possible.

Eastern Europe: Thanks to a new codeshare agreement with Bulgaria Air, which makes all the flights, SN customers can fly four times a week between the European capital and Sofia from now on. Bulgaria is a candidate for EU accession and this is leading to increased business travel between Bulgaria and Brussels. Moreover, tourism in Bulgaria is expanding (city-trips to Sofia, skiing holidays, beach holidays on the Black Sea, etc). The flight schedule also allows quick transfers for anyone who wishes to travel further on SN’s European, African and American network.

Together with Finnair and Lithuanian Airlines SN is now making travel to the new Baltic EU States possible. Easy travel to Riga and Tallin is possible with the help of a stopover in Helsinki and Lithuania’s capital can even be reached directly due to a direct Brussels-Vilnius connection.

The flight frequency to Moscow Domodedovo, a destination that has appeared in SN’s network since April and which is attractive an ever increasing number of passengers, is being increased to six per week. From this winter on SN customers can also check in at Moscow railway station for scheduled flights departing from Domodedovo.

Departure flexibility for anyone wanting to fly between Brussels and Warsaw is also being increased significantly. SN Brussels Airlines and LOT are renewing their cooperation and from now on offer 4 flights per day between Poland and Belgium.

Malta: The new European Member State Malta appears for the first time in the SN Brussels Airlines network. A partnership with Air Malta makes it possible to travel to the group of islands in the Mediterranean Sea up to four times a week from Brussels. Thanks to its many sights, the mild winter climate and good hotel infrastructure Malta is an interesting mini-trip destination.

Spain and Portugal: SN is offering four flights a week to Oviedo in the Asturias region of Spain from this winter season with the help of a partnership with Iberia.

Anyone looking for the Spanish winter sun will also to manage this with SN thanks to scheduled flights to Seville in the heart of Andalusia. This winter SN will fly to Seville daily: four times directly with SN and three times via Madrid with Iberia. Trips to the Spanish Basque Country will be easier thanks to the increased frequency of SN flights to Bilbao. SN flies to Bilbao twice a day almost every day.

SN’s own flights to Porto which the airline has operated very successfully since spring will be continued this winter.

Turkey: Istanbul, a destination that SN has included in its flight schedule since last summer season, is also being flown directly three times per week this winter. The schedule is very suitable for city or shopping trips but also enables business people to spend a few working days in Istanbul or Brussels.

US: Since May of this year American Airlines and SN Brussels Airlines jointly provide daily scheduled flights between Brussels and New York JFK. The flights were quick to find approval. The inexpensive dollar is making flying to the States more attractive than ever and as a result a daily flight is also being offered this winter. A wide range of other destinations in the US and the Caribbean can be reached via a stopover in JFK thanks to partner American Airlines.

Africa: In barely two and half years SN Brussels Airlines has developed a solid position on the African continent. In comparison with last winter, SN is now flying twice weekly to Liberia (Monrovia) instead of once and an SN Airbus 330-300 is also landing in Abidjan four times a week instead of three this winter.

Premiere for a new trade fair with a focus on business travel: Messe Berlin expands the ITB Berlin to include the Corporate Marketplace and its own Business Travel Lounge, plus seminars
The world’s leading tourism trade fair is set to expand. With its “ITB Corporate Marketplace“ and its own exclusive Business Travel Lounge Messe Berlin plans to add a new segment of the business travel sector to the International Tourism Exchange ITB Berlin in March of next year. On Tuesday, Dr. Martin Buck, Director KompetenzCenter Travel & Logistics at Messe Berlin, announced that the new ITB Corporate Marketplace would be held at the Berlin Exhibition Grounds from Sunday, 13 March to Tuesday, 15 March 2005. This new trade fair segment has the needs of travel managers in mind and is aimed at the leading organisers of business travel in Germany and Europe.

Martin Buck: “For years the economic potential of the business travel market has been underestimated.“ According to the latest figures issued by the Verband Deutsches Reisemanagement (VDR), last year in Germany 8.1 million business travellers undertook 147.4 million business trips worth 54.1 billion euros. Dr. Martin Buck: “By organising the ITB Corporate Marketplace and a programme of papers on business travel, we as Messe Berlin will in the future take the demands of the business travel segment fully into account.“ The organisers have succeeded in obtaining among others the VDR Akademie as participants in the programme of papers.

David Ruetz, Project Manager, ITB Berlin: “By catering for this segment we are aiming directly at the market for organisers of business travel. Combining the Marketplace and Business Lounge gives exhibitors the opportunity to address customers on a one-to-one basis without mediators, to establish new contacts and hold individual talks in the attractive lounge.“ According to David Ruetz exhibitors also save money and time if they invite their business partners to the lounge. In addition a diverse programme of seminars and papers aims at providing travel managers with useful ways of assisting their daily jobs.

SWISS’s last MD-11 bows out
The sole remaining SWISS Boeing MD-11 performed its last commercial flight in SWISS colours yesterday from Chicago to Zurich, concluding a further chapter in Swiss aviation history. SWISS has replaced its MD-11s with the state-of-the-art Airbus A340.

The Boeing MD-11 provided sterling service linking Switzerland with the world for over 13 years. The trijet was principally deployed on long-haul services, carrying the Swiss cross to destinations such as Tokyo, São Paulo and Johannesburg. SWISS had assigned its last remaining MD-11 - registration HB-IWE - to the Zurich-Chicago route in the 2004 summer schedules, which have now come to an end. Following its withdrawal, the carrier will operate an all-Airbus A330/A340 long-haul aircraft fleet.

The Airbus A340 is a state-of-the-art aircraft which is far easier on the environment in noise and pollutant emission terms. On Zurich-Chicago services, for example, it consumes between 12 and 15 per cent less kerosene than its predecessor.
