If you want to see their B747-8F fleet at BRU, you will have to search for AirBelgium logo's. They only have T7 and 747-400F.

Re: Air Belgium in 2023

Not to mention DEN is not a small United hub and if Air Belgium ever gets a significant foothold, there will be a 4th UA plane in BRU daily with a lot more connections to the West coast. UA has more daily connections via AMS to USA (5) than they have out of Brussels (3); i do not see them start mor...

Re: Air Belgium in 2023

Curious where the third B747-8F and the A330F will fly as most of the time the cargo flights are cancelled. In the cargo world it is normal that you have cancelled cargo flights bcs of many reasons, but that much like with KF is not OK. Even with their current 2 B748F they can't make a difference i...

Re: BRU Summer 2023: news, new routes, airlines

ANA has almost completely stopped their ops on BRU for the winter season. They will be flying some days though (e.g. december 24).
Cargo flights stopped last month. No Idea if these will ever return.

On BRU Titan is using A321P2F. But indeed they have a slower pace than before. These days they often stay on tarmac half a day whereas they went up and down twice a day not so long ago.
