On my last longhaul trip with a B 777-300 I noticed that the cruise level of the plane in the early stages of the flight never passed above 31-33.000 feet. Only about halfway the plane climbed to around 36.000 feet, and only in the final stage to 38.000 feet. On FR24, I see the "newer" generation ai...

OO-SFF, newest A333, is being delivered from Singapore.

According to FR24, OO-SFF arrived on July 23 at 18:40.
Any pictures available of the plane in Brussels?

But some people will pretend that everything at AMS is better than BRU... Well, to be honest, I had a very good experience with AMS. On July 20, a very busy day at AMS, our flight (GA 88 from Jakarta) landed at 7.28 am. At 8.10 am we were already in our car on our way home (luggage delivery, custom...

Those aren’t available second hand. LH didn’t retract that only profitable airlines receive new equipment. That applies to ‘network airlines’ as well. OS getting second hand airplanes, while LX and LH receive new ones. Maybe more efficient planes are exactly what SN needs to become a profitable net...

Maybe we can start dreaming about A330-neo's?
And A220's for the European routes, to replace the older A319's?
Let's keep fingers crossed!

I didn't know the E190 had the legs to do BRU-TFS non-stop?
Also, just 15 minutes turnaround time in TFS seems very short, no?

On Emirates, a zone is mentioned on the boarding pass.
Boarding calls are made using the different zones (passengers seating in the back of the plane board first).
This seems to be working quite well, I'm surprised that this is not standard procedure with other carriers...

According to FR24, it did KJK-LIS today.
Special charter?
Is the runway at KJK long enough for such a take-off?
About 10 years ago, there was a special 737 flight from KJK to Jersey; return flight the same day... I was happy to be one of the passengers then.

There are many complaints about the interior of ex-SIA and ex-CX aircraft. It was never the plan to fly so extensively with these birds with the old cabin. The delay of refitting the new cabin of the 7 SIA/CX aircraft (due to certification issues) has forced SN to start operating with the newer bir...

Not sure but i think SFB still has is Cathay cabin.

What happens then to passengers that booked a flight in the Premium Economy cabin?
Must be quite confusing...

Will the SN A-330's operating in Eurowings colours on Brussels Airlines routes also have the Premium Economy cabin?

Why a white plane from Hy-Fly and not an Air Belgium with the national colours ? It's true that using the A340 with the Belgian flag colours would be a nice sight. Hi-Fly could have subleased the Air Belgium aircraft... Is the Hi-Fly A330 with the Belgian Defence livery not in service anymore? Or w...

And why did the plane stay in BRU for 3 hours?
Waiting for a new crew?

With the retiring of OOSFN is the interior taken out of the plane before leaving? I guess they can still use the seats in other aircraft when one is broken? Isn't Brussels Airlines going to install an all new interior in the "new" A330's? So I guess the seats in the withdrawn aircraft will not be v...

You mean because of the cabin windows being tapped? As well as the flight deck window N°3.


H.A.

Yes, that's the reason why I suppose this.

OO-SFE is prepared for action!

To me, this looks more like OO-SFE is prepared for a (temporary?) storage...
Or am I wrong?

As much as I understand the bad situation of the Aviapartner employees, I do not understand the blindness of the consequences of the strikes. I booked a (very) short trip of 4 days with Tui from Ostend for my wife, 3 of my children and myself, on November 1st, and paid about € 2.500,00 to Tui. I boo...

More important news! “Big brother” Betty has left the building... "Big sister" ? At the risk of sounding stupid, I do not understand ... does anyone have a decoder? I don't understand either. I know a lot of you are working for Brussels Airlines or the airport, but please use different channels to ...

I'd rather go for a simple airband receiver than for a sophisticated camera.

With the flightradar24 app on a smartphone, you can already have a very good idea of the planes coming in to land... and this is perfectly legal!

Let's hope LH buys the A220, and allocates about 10 planes to Brussels Airlines... So, exit the doomed SSJ, and enters a plane which great potential of fleet commonality within the group. Can't wait to see the A220 in Brussels Airlines colours. I recently flew BRU-ZRH in a Swiss CS100. I was impress...
