This has nothing to do with 747 news.
No indeed, it is about the 747-8, so I would clearly post it in the 'Brussels Airlines Fleet Renewal' topic instead of in the Boeing 747-8 topic :roll:

SEAGLE - Belgian Canadair Replacement?

Hi all! I was wondering if any of you have heard, and have more information about the Seagle-project. The Seagle is an aircraft that is meant to be the replacement of the well-known Canadair firefighting planes. It is an aircraft that will possibly built in Ostend, Belgium. It is obvious that the ai...

Re: LOT Polish Airlines / PLL LOT news thread

My best guess would be that LOT plans to use one type of the aircraft, let's say the A220 to operate from their biggest base in Warsaw, whilst the E-Jets can be stationed in the other bases, like Budapest for example, thus operating both fleets next to each other. This would of course mean a big exp...

Re: Ukraine crisis 2022 affecting civilian aviation

Question is how you define a "plane from Russia." As Acid-drop pointed out, registration is not very useful. Even Aeroflot operates planes on non-Russian register. Banning Russian airlines is more effective, but what of airlines owned by Russian shareholders and domiciled outside of Russi...

Now the UK has banned all Russian aircraft are banned from its airspace. This is for all aircraft that are "owned, chartered or operated by a person connected with russia, or which are registered in russia."

Although there were some rumours that the An-225 Mriya had been damaged during the Russian attacks on Hostomel Airport a captain from Antonov Airlines has stated that this is NOT the case. The airport has been seized by Russian Forces, but the aircraft is intact. https://www.airlive.net/breaking-ukr...

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal

Repainting an A320x costs approx. $50-60,000 per American Airlines. Deadheading a crew is a marginal cost by comparison. If the goal was to maximize savings, Brussels Airlines would schedule the next aircraft to be painted on the evening BRU-LHR, then ferry the plane empty to EMA overnight, and bri...

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal

Trident is scheduled to fly to Saint-Petersburg tomorrow. My best guess is that Brussels Airlines and the KBVB decided that OO-SNA will be flying the fans to/from the cities where the Red Devils will be playing their games.
