Brussels Airlines

This is what I have noticed in one GDS - earlier this week BHX was five daily for summer 2012 in the week using the RJ85 (default setting) and with the usual reductions in school holidays.

Today GDS shows five daily but 2 x RJ100 and 1 x RJ85 and 2 x Q400!!!!

The Q400 is on the 11.35/12.05 and 15.30/16.00 services and this is a new
listing this week.

However Brussels Airlines website changes to three flights daily with a mix of RJ100's and RJ85's.

Have they yet to load the Q400 flights or has the agreement with Austrian terminated?

Looking at the times listed for the three flights, it makes little sense

I would say it is not a bright idea to have nothing arriving in BHX between 09.00 and 19.50 if you want to maintain your business traffic and if you want to maximise your hub connections I don't think a gap of 9.45 to 20.20 ex BHX is very bright either.

I hope for some more changes before late March.

The two daily Q400's would be quite a significant change in their own right and to be honest it would be a logical one but three a day at the wrong times would be a disaster for business.
