Re: RwandAir & Rwandan Aviation News 2024

Forgot to publish a few days ago, why RwandAir has ended flights to Mumbai. Unsurprisingly, the type of aircraft is not suitable, in terms of comfort (probably also for cargo) or routing (technical stopover in Kenya). The airline will apparently try to find the right device. Apart from the Max or A3...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2024

It's not the...

Ethiopian orders 8 B777x (alongside of its B777x F order). This is version 777-9. With the A350-1000 order, it is clear that the airline will replace its fleet of B777s (200LR and 300ER) https://bnnbreaking.com/transportation/ethiopian-airlines-bolsters-fleet-with-boeing-777-9-purchase-first-in-africa

Re: ASL Airlines Belgium & ASL Aviation Holdings news 2024

They changed a lot, like in... renewing its fleet? Like in ... re-registering all aircraft from OO- to OE- (except the old 737-400 OO-TNN and OO-TNP, the bare minimum to keep "Belgium" in their name). I think ASL Belgium are not the most to complain in the group. ASL France has really cha...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2024

Agree with Lux Avi. I think that if SN was with IAG or AF KLM the situation would be probably the same that with Lufthansa : the market demand They are not even great synergies between SN and Turkish Airlines / Egytpair / Ethiopian Airlines to and from Africa while they are in the same alliance (i d...

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal

Interesting article on Luchtvaartnieuws today. SN would like to receive more A320neo's in the future. They are also looking for the replacement of the A330. The A330neo and B787-9 are in the picture. The A330neo is however not in the current LH group fleet. More chance for the B787-9 I think I woul...
