Re: Which A330 next for Brussels Airlines?

For those who like to look around for future additions to the fleet next year, maybe have a look for A319 and A320 too... ;) Of course it would be nice to see a few more A319s and A320s joining SN's fleet. However they urgently need l/h aircraft as the A330s seem to be struggling again. And SN seem...
