Re: Brussels Airlines in 2023

It seems OO-SFH is stuck in CKY since yesterday evening and SN206, CKY-DSS-BRU, is cancelled.
Flight 205, BRU-DSS-CKY, had left BRU yesterday morning with 1.5h delay.

This morning OO-SFE due to operate SN241, BRU-FNA-ROB, with STD 12:10 is announced as boarding from B Pier. No a good outlook.
