For the moment it's still in HG41, engine nr.1 off.
Thanks for the information, Bird, and welcome to Aviation 24.
So the first "new" one A330 will not arrive in december 2018...as said supra !Bird wrote: ↑04 Nov 2017, 13:58 Brussels Airlines A330 reservations Are : 00 - SFB expected januari 2018, 00 - SFC expected maart 2018, 00 - SFD expected april 2018, 00 - SFE expected september 2018, 00 - SFF expected juni 2019, 00 - SFG expected oktober 2018, 00 - SFH expected oktober 2019
Brussels Airlines A320 reservations Are 00 - SNK, SNL,SNM and SNJ ( this one is coming from Alitalia)
It depends on what's agreed on in the contract, without seeing the contract that's something hard to know.
I guess you mean NL and NM from Air Berlin.
The first one will enter service before the 2018 summer season as an ops spare aircraft. It will not yet get a new interior straight away as the others will. The interior of the first one will be done after the last one has entered service early 2020.DannyVDB wrote: ↑04 Nov 2017, 16:55 Please always read carefull what is written
I my original post (which came from Airliners.net) it was not said that the first 'new' A330 would enter in service early 2018, but that they would arrive in BRU in January, March 2018 .... In any case they would need new interiors, etc. So entrance into service can only be beginning of April or so ... But airplanes arriving and airplanes entering into service are two different things.
So the only discussion/confusion (and as far as I am concerned no clear answer from anyone yet) is when the first of the 7 'new' A330 would enter into service: is it already in Summer 2018 or only late 2018?
In case it would be e.g. late Spring then they can add more frequencies and/or new routes in Summer 2018. Since they announced already additional flights to Eastern Africa (+2/w) I thought this was the confirmation of the Summer 2018 scenario. However, it is perfectly possible that they are too busy with the launch of two daily connections from Dusseldorf and that the additional flight from BRU have to wait a bit, e.g. start only in Autumn 2018.
In both case we still have to be patient I am afraid
And if we want the full picture we need also when the leasing contract of each of their current birds expire. Does anyone have these? If we have this information we can start defining many scenarios

Why not? An A330 in an all-economy configuration could be useful: today there were 2 SN flights to Marsa Alam and 2 to Hurghada; surely no business class pax on those.
Look's like the new narrow bodies joing the fleet are A320 only so my guess is they'll only aquire A320 or even A321 from AB for the busy summer routes while they can use it for TLV during winterInquirer wrote: ↑04 Nov 2017, 18:32 Interesting discussion: any news on what bru.air entends to do with 4 additional A320 next year, because that's a serious capacity increase, taking into account there are no more AVRO jets to replace?
Or are they going to replace older/smaller A319 with them?
Thank you.
