On June 12 at 10:00 sharp, Brussels Airlines’ Airbus A320, registered as OO-SNO and adorned with the iconic Trident livery featuring the Red Devils and the Red Flames, pushed back from a remote position on the tarmac of Brussels Airport. Flight SN1163 departed for Stuttgart, where the Belgian national football team has established its base camp for the UEFA Euro 2024 competition.
Under partly cloudy skies, the team was warmly welcomed at the foot of the plane by a group of Brussels Airlines crew members.
