2nd daily BRU-EWR rotation from S16
Today Brussels Airlines announced the opening of the BRU-YYZ route in response to the withdrawal of 9W out of BRU.
SN also announced that UA (as a A++ partner) will start a second daily BRU-EWR rotation in response to 9W leaving. The second rotation will be operated by a Boeing 767 in addition to the daily Boeing 777.
No schedule has been released yet (nor if it will be PMUA or PMCO metal), flights should be loaded next week.
To be continued

For whatever reason, I've had exceptional luck upgrading with GPUs through BRU so I welcome the additional capacity.

EDIT: I read the PR too fast - didn't see it's going to be a 763 most of the summer.
Even still, would like to see more 757 on domestic instead of TATL flying. Less dependance across the pond the better.

Ugh you should read the whole thing it's a 75B 5-5 - 5-24; 9-6 - 10-28. 76E operates the flight between 5-25 & 9-6.
The 75B was never really going to be pulled from TATL flying entirely.

This 2nd daily flight is basically filling up the capacity void of 9W quitting the TATL market. Probably the right size, I'm assuming 9W had light flight loads on their A330.
