TNT Airways Passenger Services From BRU

[airmemphis]

I was just browzing the schedules and noticed that TNT Airways are operating passenger charter flight from BRU

I noticed flight TAY711 (BRU-LXR) and according to BRU's website the flight will be with a B734, but TNT only operate the B733 varriant (I'm assuming they are the convertable type). Anyone know where that B734 came from? is it leased or owned? and are they planning to get more?

For the moment we fly our own Boeing 737 but we have also a contract with Islandflug for the charters. Islandflug is also our partner for freight.
For the moment we have one aircraft for charterflights but in a few months we receive a new Boeing 737 quick change. This airplane will be used for charters on daytime, then it flies to Liege for the quick change and at nighttime we used it for cargo. So we gona operate 2 aircraft for charterflights.

Spotters Database says it's the TF-ELV:

TF-ELV
B737-4S3 Islandsflug

But I thought TNT and Islandflug only have 733s and not 734s?

LX-LGX, just read your post. Thanks

Where do they get their cabin crew from????

Islandsflug does not fly for TNT out of EBBR anymore.
TNT has now a contract with HOLA Airlines for the summer charter season

But Hola don't have B734s, so where are they coming from?

[airbuske]

Hola Airlines has 3 B737-300s and 1 757

This one http://www.airliners.net/open.file/819191/M/
is a B733 and not a B734!

Hola Airlines has subleased EC-IOR past year to Olympic Airways and
if I'm correct EC-IOR is an ex TAP.

We have our own Belgian cabin crew.
Where did they get the information that TNT had a contract with HOLA Airways for the summer season? It's always possible that we have a backup airplane from an other airline, but our main airline besides TNT is Islandflug.

So this is becoming a pattern for holiday travel from BRU:

You book your package vacations with Jetair or VIP Selection and you might end up on a Futura plane iso TUI Airlines...
You book with Thomas Cook or Pegase and you could find yourself on board Martinair or EuroAtlantic iso their own planes or BelgiumExcel (RIP)...
You book with Club Med' and you might fly Hola or Islandsflug rather than the advertised TNT...

Am I the only one here to think this is wrong?

Certainly not. It is the same situation in France, by the way. That's why the EU (despite some people who want to vote NO to its constitution) wants to act and oblige tour operators to tell their customers with which airline they will actually be flying (except force majeure).

I apologise for repeating my question but where are they getting the 737-400 from?

TNT only has B733s and the airlines they have agreements with only have B737-300s

Islandsflug also have B737-400:

To get things straight: on 01/05 TNT operated 733 EC-IOR and OO-TNE. No sign of a 734, so possible a fault on BIACs site.
