Interesting article today in De Standaard (Dutch) about Brussels Airlines wanting to 'expand': https://www.standaard.be/cnt/dmf20220823_94114336 Unfortunately it stays very vague... What SN needs is more long haul flights and destinations (Asia, South America, West Coast US,...). This is where profi...

New helicopter fleet for Belgian Defence (according to the STAR-plan of the minister of defence):

- 15 light helicopters (probably H145M) (+ same type for federal police)
- 10 heavy lift helicopters (probably Chinook)
- 4 SAR helicopters (not clear what type)

Nice. The use of the new logo looks better on vehicles and buildings than on the actual planes.....

The livery clearly looks best on larger aircraft !

According to an article in De Tijd, Air Belgium will get 3 A380?? :o Is this correct? The quote: Tegelijk met de komst van de Chinezen breidt Air Belgium zijn vloot uit. De komende maanden krijgt de maatschappij van Terzakis twee exemplaren van de Boeing 747-800 in gebruik. Later dit jaar volgen dri...

After visiting BRU last week I noticed the drop-off and bus area look as shabby as ever... So a few serious question to the BAC 'insiders': - What is the current status of the big 2040-development plan? Any real progress or still a vague fantasy vision? - Is the baggage handling system reinforced du...

Any news when the first A330 will get new colors?

According to VRT, the government will invest again in a 'white fleet' (government planes) as part of a major boost to the Defense budget. A little while ago, the Embraers were sold and 2 Falcon 7X planes were leased. Looks like they will be replaced by new government/VIP/troop transport planes. Not ...

And SFX is scheduled to return from AMM at 1915 today

Was it repainted?

Does anyone know when the first A330 will get the new livery ?

Great to see KF expanding like this! That 747 in Air Belgium livery looks awesome. It would be great to see a Belgian 747 again some day in passenger service (a man can dream)

The new tail with the LH Group family

Some people have posted videos of the new livery on youtube using Microsoft Flight Simulator, and I've noticed that the name 'brussels' is at the bottom of the plane. Is this a fantasy or actually part of the new livery? https://cdn.flightsim.to/images/20/a32nx-brussels-airlines-2021-livery-mWSwV.jp...

With the diverted JFK-flight debacle in mind, is it even possible to maintain a reliable long-haul network with only 9 planes ? (rhetoric question)

Ok, my final verdict on the logo/livery (as a part-time graphic designer) 8-) - The new logo is good and with the bigger 'brussels' better recognizable - The new livery is OK but definitely needs some tweaking: There are too many dots on the fuselage. I repeat: too many dots. https://cdn.uc.assets.p...

In GVA this morning:

The more I see it, the more I like it!

Some people need to calm down. It's not a bad logo, it's not a bad livery. Give it some time. https://cdn.aerotelegraph.com/production/uploads/2021/11/brussels_airlines_neuer_markenauftritt_01.jpg Looking good on this A319 :P (Ok, maybe I would have left out some of the grey dots at the front of the...

At what time is the presentation?

Maybe the reason why so many planes (the CX one, the EW one,...) weren't painted in SN colors, was because they knew a new livery and logo was coming? There was no point in paining these aircraft in a c/s that was going away in the near future.
