BRU 01/02/2020

According to Frederik Ureel, an Airbus A380 should be expected at Brussels Airport, with passengers from China...

[TLspotting]

It should be 9H-MIP, for Melsbroek. We should get more info by tomorrow.

It would be nice 25L.

It would be nice 25L.
If 25's are in use : I suppose aircraft will use the 25R because every passenger will be transported to Military Hospital in Neder-Over-Heembeek. Just a guess.....

[modeS]

9H-MIP to Brussels is not impossible, but it seems far from confirmed, knowing that

• there are several inconsistencies between the currently available news items

• several Hi Fly aircraft will be operating repatriation flights (including CS-TQY A343 that departed in BRU this morning and according to the Portugese website Publico also another aircraft departing from France today)

• according to the AIP the military apron at Melsbroek and the taxiways connecting it to runway 07L/25R are not suitable for A388 aircraft

• the minister mentioned that 'the passengers will come to Europe with a French aircraft', a statement open for interpretation.

In case of 9H-MIP it will be difficult to anticipate the landing runway without additional info. Unless they deviate from AIP the only possible parking positions are 233L (25L likely) and 951/954 (25R likely).

No A380 is expected

The arrival of the aircraft from Wuhan is expected on Sunday evening, 02/02/2020

First, the flight will land near Marseille, France.

I have my doubts about 9H-MIP making it to BRU. According to FR24, it's still in CDG now. Ferrying it to Wuhan, loading all passengers etc., flying back to BRU, I don't see all of that happening in 24 hours.
Other sources talk about an A320, quite a significant "downgrade".

CS-TQY is flying to Hanoi from Bru, I guess it will do like the A380 is planned, fuel stop in Hanoi, continue to Wuhan and then fly back.

9H-MIP is on the way to Hanoi. It can be expected for tomorrow but we have a lack of info about..

[KriVa]

EBMB is not suitable for the A380, don’t expect it to come to Brussels, since the pax in question will have to be offloaded at EBMB.
