Brussels Airlines

Anybody heard any rumours about Brussels Airlines?

My neighbour flys regularly to Dakar with them. Last time he was greeted with a LH plane at Brussels for the trip .... next week he has been re-booked on Maroc via RAK.

One wonders .....

Well long time this thread was posted, but I'd like to point out that we had a moment where one of our A330's had to go into maintenance for a week and Lufthansa was kind enough to immediately lend us an aircraft to keep our roster operating normally. That's all there was to it.
