Re: Brussels Airlines in 2023

The first A320Neo for Brussels Airlines has been spotted at Airbus Toulouse: F-WWIJ c/n 11600 to become OO-SBA. (I believe it’s the 3rd time that this reg is used on a Belgian Airplane) OO-JFP Indeed, the registry was first used for a C-47 and then an A321 which was used by VLM in all-white livery ...

Re: Air Belgium in 2023

Frequencies have temporarily further reduced in May and June. Cape Town is axed for 4 weeks and Johannesburg and Mauritius reduced to one weekly rotation. It's a pity: planning a trip to ZA, I was seriously considering KF as they would have offered convenient non-stop flights to both CPT and JNB. B...

Any reason known for this strange path?
I can't think of anything else than sightseeing?
After having discovered something (most probably a technical glitch) that made them turned around, they had to either burn or dump fuel to avoid an overweight landing back into BRU.

Re: Austrian Airlines in 2023

Regarding the google lufthansa group fleet website, Austrian seems to phase in 9 boeing 787-900 as a replacement for 767-300 and 777-200 Currently that is even less than a rumor. I doubt that LH will allocate 9 of its new 789 to OS - Spohr never liked OS, even less so as a longhaul competitor withi...

I guess ex- OE-LDE, since most of the ex-OS A319s are already painted in LH livery and flying: OE-LDA --> D-AIBK (LH Cityline - repainted and in service) OE-LDB --> D-AIBL (LH Cityline - repainted and in service) OE-L...

Re: Austrian Airlines in 2022

Austrian's first 320neo was AOG with an issue of the electronic engine control system for about 24hrs. Since then, it flew only one rotation to BCN and is still under maintenance until possibly 26.10.
