Yesterday, the first of three Embraer E195-E2s for TUI fly Belgium arrived at Brussels Airport, Belgium. Previously, the aircraft operated for Belavia, a Belarusian airline. TUI intends to schedule the aircraft from Antwerp. As a replacement for the Embraer 190, the new aircraft has a longer range and a bigger capacity, allowing it to fly to Crete, Antalya and the Canary Islands.
The aircraft has temporarily been registered EI-GYW but will be entered into the Belgian registry as OO-ETB.
