Any chance of a flight from Cork, Ireland to Brussels? What are the odds?
...erm... not meaning to state the b****ing obvious but it IS an "airline flying from Brussels"!!
I had the opportunity to be at the launch on Tuesday where the newly painted aircraft was rolled out (note it is NOT in hiding! It flew to LGW yesterday!). The 'b' on the tail represents both Belgium and Brussels, however, Brussels is perceived to be more important on the world radar than Belgium given it's political heritage and that's why the name was chosen. The red inthe scheme is an allusion to the VEX heritage, while the blue reminds us of the old SN Brussels. Thankfully, the 'link' with the defunct Belgiun carrier is finally severed.
Good luck brussels airlines....
