This has been discussed already - see previous page. Flights are no longer on sale for the Summer season, but are back on sale from October. It's possibly something to do with the RJ100s being retired before the Cityjet SSJ contract begins.

My experience with alot of employees at airports is that although they do have alot of knowledge, it can often be slightly off, for example, cancelled could well be cancelled for the summer.
Generally only the people in the management area will be able to tell you the real story.

I agree. The RJ100s are being retired at a faster rate than the A319s, A320s and SSJ100s are being delivered. Though I must admit it's strange that SN would retire its RJs before having the capacity to operate a full schedule, especially during the summer season.
The fact that flights are on sale for the winter season would strongly suggest that the route's not being scrapped completely.

Many changes and operational reviews coming at Zaventem over the next few months.

The BHD figures have to be taken in context. For one thing around 17,000 less pax that were using LGW. Several key routes BHX, MAN and the Scottish ones have grown nicely, despite EZY. LPL is core EZY territory and despite BE doing well for a while EZY will guard it well, especially with FR on the scene.
Confirmed. City to Brussels flight is cancelled. Happy belated Christmas DC_7493837 and BFS Watcher (who won't have noticed as they watch BFS.....apparently).
Brussels was always going to be a hard sell as the terrorism that Belgium has experienced would (ironically) put a lot of people in Northern Ireland off.

Pity to see any European route go, but Brussels airport incident probably put a lot of people off. However I thought it would have bounced back, just like Paris
Wonder if any other airline will try

KLM have changed the times for the Sunday flight from Amsterdam, now scheduled to arrive in Belfast at 10:10 and away again 10:40. Not quite early enough to catch the third departure wave from Schiphol, though, but should be fine for the fourth at ~ 14:00.
