Re: Abnormalities in BRU-ANR-CRL-LGG-OST in 2015

Any news about OO-SFY, the A33O from SN that was hit by that bagage trolley on it's RH engine in Washington on the 14th of august? Must be a quite demanding repair if it takes that long. Any insights?

Re: BRU 30/06/2015

The one and only B737-700 of Ryanair made a visit to BRU yesterday. Picture by Matthijs Clottens: I heard somebody saying this a/c will be used for crew training. This way they could keep the little more expensive -800 flying and the tail clearance would be higher then the -800 too so a little bit ...

the jetairfly hangar very soon :) Could this be on of the future EC air planes?

Re: BRU 29/04/2015

All early B787's have quite some maintenance to do, they are working fine but Boeing launches SB's to upgrade and improve them even more. The thing with OO-JDL is that it's the only B787 in the fleets so it gets noticed very fast when it's not flying, contrary to airlines who have multiple aircraft ...

The A330 is not for the B-Fast team only... Members of the German and Luxemburg response team will join them on the flight to Kathmandu. They can use all the help over there! Good luck guys!
