Re: Eurowings in 2019

Will the SN A-330's operating in Eurowings colours on Brussels Airlines routes also have the Premium Economy cabin?

Re: King Philippe in Korea

Why a white plane from Hy-Fly and not an Air Belgium with the national colours ? It's true that using the A340 with the Belgian flag colours would be a nice sight. Hi-Fly could have subleased the Air Belgium aircraft... Is the Hi-Fly A330 with the Belgian Defence livery not in service anymore? Or w...

And why did the plane stay in BRU for 3 hours?
Waiting for a new crew?

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal

With the retiring of OOSFN is the interior taken out of the plane before leaving? I guess they can still use the seats in other aircraft when one is broken? Isn't Brussels Airlines going to install an all new interior in the "new" A330's? So I guess the seats in the withdrawn aircraft wil...

You mean because of the cabin windows being tapped? As well as the flight deck window N°3.

Yes, that's the reason why I suppose this.

Re: 25-31/10/2018 Aviapartner strike at Brussels Airport

Let's hope LH buys the A220, and allocates about 10 planes to Brussels Airlines... So, exit the doomed SSJ, and enters a plane which great potential of fleet commonality within the group.

Re: Lufthansa in 2018

On the latest pictures, I notice a little yellow dot next to the left front entrance door of both planes.
Could this be a late and subtle reaction on most comments about the lack of yellow in the new livery?
I didn't see this yellow dot in the previous pictures.
Am I wrong?

Yes , the A330 will have a complete new interior.
What about the 3 remaining A330's (SFY-SFZ?) ?
Will they also get the new interior?

Both are actually in Star Alliance colours... Will they keep that livery?
Maybe only changing "Lufthansa" in "Brussels Airlines"?

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2017

There is a absolutely no added value, no gains for SN with that decision. Once again just a very dangerous open door (crew base can now be outsourced randomly). I'm very puzzled to see the lack of reaction from the unions. I guess they must have received some short term compensations to shut it up....

For the A333 it is no option. Just simply not installed.
Do you mean no option for the A333 of Brussels Airlines, or for every A333 ?

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal

The statement "no fleet expansion after 2017" was corrected later. It is still expected that one long haul aircraft will be added each year. What a disappointing result... Not one word about replacing the ageing fleet by new A330neo's or second hand LH A330/340's... Once again, a too caut...
