Re: Diversions from around the globe (medical, technical, ...) 2020

TUI flight TB1551 from Brussels (BRU) to Gran Canaria (LPA) returned to Brussels when the flight was already above Spain. The aircraft flew three and a half hours, with landing at the airport of departure!
Yesterday's flight diverted to Faro (FAO).

Re: Boeing 777(X) news

Saw it live and saw it afterwards a few times again, nice aircraft btw. But it has a strange take off position, probably it has something to do with length and avoiding a tailstrike. When you look close, the rightmaingear (first row of wheels) is already of the ground and then the nosegear. Just lo...

The past days, I've seen Iberia coming to Brussels with A330 and A340-600 aircraft. Is this for a charter, or are they coming to brussels with these larger aircraft regularly?

This month we can see also a very nice upgrade of Etihad. They will fly with their brand new B787-10 to BRU. BRU is the first destination they will fly with it. The livery on it is also great. Indeed, the 'Greenliner' (reg: A6-BMH), the livery is simply stunning! One of the most beautiful aircraft ...

Iran has invited the USA and Canada to take part in the investigation. Both the NTSB and the TSB have confirmed this. CNN reports that Boeing has also been invited.

Iran will NOT give the black boxes to Boeing! Seems pretty strange to me, some might say they shot the aircraft down, but there were Iranians on board, so that doesn't seem logical to me.

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2020

Yesterday FR24 showed a flight from SN from DUB to GVA. Are these charter flights for a Swiss or an Irish Tour operator? Brussels Airlines is operating LX410/LX411 between BRU-GVA-BRU on behalf of Swiss. It was a DUB-GVA flight. A little research on FR24 shows that it was OO-SSS operating LX410/LX4...

D4-CCG, a B757 of Cabo Verde Airlines flying from Espargos (SID) to Washington (IAD) diverted to Santa Maria (SMA) in the Azores.

Edit: The aircraft is again on its way to Washington, so it was probably a medical diversion.

TAP A330 NEO performing Lisbon (LIS) to New York (JFK) just landed at Lajes Airfield (TER) in the Azores after diversion. Reason unknown. The aircraft was almost three hours into flight when it turned towards TER.
