On Friday, EI-FWD broke down in Zadar, the subsequent flight to Brussels was cancelled. Instead, the aircraft was flown to Venice, where the European base of Sukhoi is located. Only two Superjets are currently operational instead of the five normally devoted to Brussels Airlines flights: EI-FWF and EI-FWC.
Brussels Airlines confirmed to Aviation24.be that Sukhoi has very few spare parts available in Europe, which means that aircraft can remain AOG (Aircraft On Ground) for a long time. The airline is assisting passengers to get to their final destination as swiftly as possible, with the help of its Star Alliance partners.
In the past, CityJet could operate some flights with its Avro RJ85 fleet, but this has become impossible nowadays.
The trouble started as early as 17 May, when somebody informed Aviation24.be that his flight SN2313 to Göteborg had been cancelled three days in a row. Brussels Airlines then explained to Aviation24.be that the lack of spare parts for the SSJ100 in Europe was the reason for the cancellations. Brussels Airlines also said it would pay the EU261 compensations for passengers arriving at destination later than 3 hours after their first scheduled arrival time.
