The ufthansa 343 are Planet to be replaced with 789, Swiss seem to be with 359, Edelweiss likely few years later with ???

SN is already upgauged from 332 to 333 thus there would be likely only punctual expansion with additional 333 and a replacement of the long haul fleet would be due around the end of this decade.
Indeed DLH/SWR A343 are due to leave but still can be used as a back-up solution before a full renewal for Austrian 777
I doubt that there will be crew training for 2-3 years on an exiting model.

OS is targeting a one model fleet, somewhere in between the 767 and the 772. The 789 would be ideal, but they can't afford it (yet). The 333 fits in the same size, but most of the models can't serve all current destinations.

So they are somehow stuck in the middle but would need in approx 2 years a decision. With the current delays in production and delivery of the 789 for LH the situation is even from that angle not better, as there were rumors that the 5 789 with GE engines would land somewhere else in the group once enough 789 are in FRA.

MSN 5635 and MSN 5658 (both A320's) are going to join the fleet.

Any idea here if MSN 5601 also joining the SN fleet?

OO-SSH A319-100 has left the fleet after 8 years. OO-SSY ex-Austrian is coming at the begin of JAN23 !
Incorrect, SSH is still in the fleet.
I'm sorry RTM but my info is correct. Last flight of SSH was the past Monday between Geneva and Brussels. The aircraft is phase out at BRU ;)

Can't find it anymore, I know it was a 330 in full old colours (so no new livery or eurowings)

What happen with the "new" A319 OO-SSY Star Alliance livery ? No sign of movement, the plane is parked in front of the SN maintenance building, and has been since the beginning of the year...

Just a kind reminder it's low season in European aviation. I'd think they prepare the aircraft now to become operational with the start of the summer season, i.e. March 2023, just as they maximize the maintenance of aircraft this time around.

Are you sure it’s the lefthand winglet? Currently OO-SFE is flying around with the righthand winglet missing. BEL may have had some bad luck and have/had two stricken birds, of course.
Update: I spoke with some people at SN. Apparently SFE is a really unlucky bird. Two weeks ago the lefthand winglet was indeed damaged. After repairs, the righthand winglet was damaged as well.

By the way, will it keep entirely the OS cabin or will at least the color of the seats changed to SN's dark blue?
