Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal

Are these 2 planes also In Eurowings colours or all white? out of 45 Whatever their current look is, together with those 2 leased (and equally unpainted) regional jets it will mean more than 15% of their own fleet does not feature their own name even this summer? I understand their desire not to wa...

Re: Diversions from around the globe (medical, technical, ...) 2023

It sure is easier to accomodate the pax on alternate flights when SN's JFK flights are canceled. But it happens very often nowadays and it doesn't give the image of a serious operator. In past years, SN sometimes operated the Dakar flights with A319. Couldn't that be an alternate solution in case of...

Re: Diversions from around the globe (medical, technical, ...) 2023

Does anyone know why SN501 (OO-SFD) was diverted to Newark on tuesday 16?
Return flight SN502 was canceled and the plane returned from Newark to BRU as SN9902.
SN seems to have a lot of trouble with their JFK flights. And they seem to consider the JFK flight as dispensable.

Re: Maintenance (types &) duration

Hi Danny,

From what I noted, SFH has been in AMM for 1 month now. Before that, SFJ was there for almost 2 months. I don't know anything about the work done on them.

Re: Alitalia saved by the Government and reborn as ITA Airways

Italy’s new government, led by Georgia Meloni, has decided to maintain the sale of ITA Airways to the consortium formed by the US fund Certares, Delta Air Lines and Air France-KLM. Does Italy already have a new government? It usually takes ages to form one. Belgium is no exception in that respect.

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal

Meanwhile SFJ (so-called spare A330) went to Amman on Monday 19th. This seems to be in line with daily reduction of lh flights; eg: IAD flights have been discontinued since that day; winter season starting already?
