Re: Air Transport in Africa Outlook - 2024

Ethiopian orders 8 B777x (alongside of its B777x F order). This is version 777-9. With the A350-1000 order, it is clear that the airline will replace its fleet of B777s (200LR and 300ER) https://bnnbreaking.com/transportation/ethiopian-airlines-bolsters-fleet-with-boeing-777-9-purchase-first-in-afr...

Re: Belgian Air Force news

A400M CT-03 is currently flying towards Jordan as BAF647, with a mission to drop 6 tonnes of food and relief supplies over the Gaza strip. The Belgian aircraft will remain a few days in Jordan in order to also drop supplies delivered by allied nations.

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2024

The main reason of the CityJet wetleases going feom SN to LH is the grounding of many A320 neo with PW engines. Originally it was indeed the plan to also have cityet wetleases for SN in S24 ( they make profits ), but it was reshuffled to LH because they will have over 20 a320 grounded due to the en...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2024

If Lufthansa is getting 5 CRJ1000s on wet-lease from CityJet and is building a City Airlines A220 fleet based in Munich, it shows that, in the LH Group, small planes can be introduced where there is demand. There is also demand in Brussels for flights to secondary cities whose list was mentioned in ...

Like in ... re-registering all aircraft from OO- to OE- (except the old 737-400 OO-TNN and OO-TNP, the bare minimum to keep "Belgium" in their name).

Yesterday (22 Feb), OOSNJ was flying SN3738 from AGP to BRU. After unsuccessful trials to land at BRU (too windy?), it diverted to LGG. I guess this is the repositioning flight to BRU.

So does Brussels Airport: no other airline is filling the voids. And British Airways only flies to LHR from Brussels (they did fly to other UK destinations in the past, most notably Manchester).

I had to look it up to find out that the ASTR aircraft code refers to a Gulfstream G100. Strange association!

And in this particular case, it's a Tyrol Air ambulance aircraft. Ski accident repatriation?

I have to agree here that a few turboprops, much cheaper to operate than big jets, would be a nice addition to the SN fleet for the destinations that have been mentioned above: Bordeaux, Nantes, Billund, but also Cork, Hanover, Nuremberg, Basel and even Luxemburg. In the past, these destinations wer...
