From professional designers to students in art schools: the designers are as diverse as the designs for the Airbus A320 itself, says Brussels Airlines.

The most popular categories among the entries were cycling, art nouveau, Jean-Michel Folon and Adolphe Sax, as well as cartoon characters such as Lucky Luke and Marsupilami.

“We evaluated the designs based on some important criteria: the new Belgian Icon must be different from the previous icons, it must be about something that all Belgians can relate to to be proud of and which is also known abroad,” said marketing director Michel Moriaux in a press release.

Check out the long list of 15 candidates below:

A plane that was supposed to connect Marseille with Brussels this afternoon had to make an emergency landing this Friday, August 16. The reason? The plane hit a bird mid-flight. In this type of situation, “you must land at the nearest airport”, said the Brussels Airlines press release to our colleagues at Le Soir.

Brussels Airlines Pilots to Strike Over Pay Dispute: Grounding Flights March 23-27

Brussels Airlines Pilots to Strike Over Pay Dispute: Grounding Flights March 23-27

After the unions at Brussels Airlines threatened to strike at the beginning of this week, they are now announcing that the pilots will indeed stop work. They want to ground their aircraft from March 23 to 27.

The strike is the result of a conflict between staff and management that has been going on for years. The pilots argue that they lost wages during the corona crisis and that they want to recoup their wages now that the airline is doing better.

According to the unions, this involves an average pay cut of 14,000 euros per year for pilots and increased work pressure with working days of up to 12 hours. “Despite the fact that Brussels Airlines, part of the profitable Lufthansa Group, made a profit of 53 million euros in 2023, the surrenders remain permanent.”

Brussels Airlines pilots threaten new strikes – Company in jeopardy – Latest updates

The pilots at Brussels Airlines are threatening new strikes from March 23, for four days in a row and once or twice a month. The unions said this on Monday evening. Brussels Airlines warns that the entire company is being endangered in this way.

There is a social conflict going on at the airline about higher wages. The pilots argue that they lost wages during the corona crisis and that they want to recoup their wages now that the airline is doing better. Brussels Airlines has made a proposal, but it is not enough for the pilots.

Actions will be possible from March 23, ACV Puls secretary Jolinde Defieuw confirms. “A strike notice has been filed.” According to Didier Lebbe of the French-speaking Christian employee union CNE, passengers will be informed at least a week in advance.

The pilots at Brussels Airlines already stopped work in mid-January.

Cabin crew

There is social unrest not only among the pilots, but also among the airline’s cabin crew. They have also already taken action for higher wages and less work pressure, and “there is a real chance that the cabin crew will take action again in the near future,” said ACV secretary Defieuw. According to CNE trade unionist Lebbe, this could also involve four-day strikes, together with the pilots or alternately.

Brussels Airlines announced an operating profit of 53 million euros last week, a record. At the same time, the company warned that the situation is still fragile.

Brussels Airlines repeated this message on Monday in response to the pilots’ strike notice. “After four years of heavy losses, we were finally able to present another positive annual result last week. However, a profitable year – with a margin of just over 3 percent – is not enough to undo all the efforts of recent years. There is a major proposal on the table. More strikes will not result in a higher proposal, it will only damage the entire company. We call on the unions to take their responsibility and no longer cling to unrealistic proposals. We deeply regret this announcement from the pilot unions as it puts the entire company at risk.”

Brussels Airlines Strike Continues: Only Seven out of Ten Flights Expected to Depart – Latest News and Updates

Brussels Airlines Strike Continues: Only Seven out of Ten Flights Expected to Depart – Latest News and Updates

Only seven out of ten Brussels Airlines flights will actually depart on Thursday, the result of the second strike day in a row. Unions and management did not reach an agreement on Wednesday evening about the workload and remuneration.

Today at 8:58 PM

“We nevertheless put a very substantial proposal on the table,” Brussels Airlines spokesperson Nico Cardone regrets the failed negotiations. The airline also criticizes the strike by the Christian union, which is continuing due to the lack of an agreement. “This damages the reputation and financial situation of the company, and causes major inconvenience to our passengers.”

The social conflict revolves around more pay and better work arrangements to reduce the workload of cabin crew. “The employees want to raise the many problems with the planning system, the excessive workload and the lack of rest,” Jolinde Defieuw of ACV Puls previously explained the reasons for the social conflict to this newspaper. “The work is perceived as extremely hard, with many employees working part-time to keep the workload somewhat bearable. Yet they are also confronted with significant amounts of overtime.”

Something that the management cannot fully agree with, because Brussels Airlines openly called on the unions after the meeting last night to reflect on their position and strategy. “We have gone through an extremely difficult period due to corona, the company is gradually climbing out of the valley again. Sticking to unrealistic demands damages the entire company. We continue to strive for the best possible working environment for all employees, while at the same time remaining competitive.”

On Wednesday, one in five Brussels Airlines flights had also been canceled due to a strike by the Christian union, the smallest union at the airline. The other unions still had a wait-and-see attitude regarding strikes on Wednesday. Olivier Van Camp of BBTK then put the ball in the airline’s court. “If the management does not meet our demands, the coming tourist months could be difficult.” To be continued.

Lufthansa Resumes Limited Flights to Tel Aviv, Ticket Sales Begin Next Monday

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com
written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

Not yet the full schedule has been resumed: initially it concerns twenty flights per week, only 30 percent of the flights that the Lufthansa Group previously offered to Tel Aviv.

Lufthansa will fly four times a week from Frankfurt and three times a week from Munich, Austrian Airlines eight times a week from Vienna and SWISS five times a week from Zurich. Ticket sales start next Monday, December 18.

Brussels Airlines will not return to Tel Aviv for the time being: at least not until early February, a decision has yet to be made about the period after that.

Today, Friday December 15, the Lufthansa Group resumed all flights to Beirut in Lebanon. These were also temporarily suspended due to fears of escalation between Israel and the Lebanese terrorist organization Hezbollah and the possible consequences for air traffic.
