Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal

Nice pic, thanks. So OO-SBC has grey smarties, like OO-SFH. OO-SBA has green smarties. Is it because it is the NEO lead ship and will be the only one in this colour scheme?

Indeed, that plane will be transferred in 2024 to SN. It was btw already flying for SN in the past (2019)
Yes I remember the announcement at Dakar : "The Eurowings flight with destination Brussels is now ready for boarding".

Tyre burst for sure but what was the root cause? A bit like in some countries, having an argument with a person in uniform carrying a gun may result in a "cardiac arrest". What is very likely to have occurred here is that a FOD, Foreign Object Debris, lying on the RWY, punctured the tyre, ...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2023

Just got info from Lomé that OO-SFF is due to return tonight.
Direct LFW-BRU as SN1276 without the stop over in ACC.

Problem said to have been a battery and replacement to be delivered this evening by SN277.

OO-SFE is still stuck in EBB since Tuesday evening. According to FR24 there was no flight planned for her on Wednesday 11OCT, but her unavailability led to : = cancelling SN359 to FIH yesterday, = cancelling SN277 to ACC/LFW today, = cancelling SN501 to JFK tomorrow. SN359 and 277 were cancelled sim...

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal

This time the eagle is ready to fly to his homebase. Hopefully it will not be the reverse of a saying of a steward some 20 years ago on an SN Avro RJ: "It looks like a chicken, but flies like an eagle". Well now that you say that, the new livery looks like chickenpox to me. ;) H.A.

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2023

Now this is good news ! At the end of 2016 SN had only 9 aircraft for their long haul ops. When LH took 100% of the company it was clearly mentioned that SN was the Group champion on the African market and this enabled the fleet to grow up to 9 aircraft in 2023. This growth in the last 6 years, with...
