Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal

[DeltaWiskey]

Maybe the aircraft is in 20C/162Y Config ?

No, it's in a 202Y config.

No, it's in a 202Y config.

Thanks. So maybe the "max 180 seats to be sold" is set to keep some middle seats empty for Business Class passengers, like on some other aircraft (example no one sitting on B in ABC).

Seems to me that it is used to cover for the delayed delivery of SNH...
Remember, that one was supposed to be the Trident plane, so should have been flying for several months allready...

Does anyone have more info about that?

It is indeed due the late delivery of SNH.

Capacity is indeed 202Y but limited to sales capacity of 180.

On my next trip with Brussels Airlines the seat map goes till more than 60?!?!
I thought it was till 46 in the 300????

In which case your next trip is scheduled on our latest A330-300, OO-SFX, which has retained its seat row numbering from its previous user Singapore Airlines for now, until the cabin will be reconfigured to our latest standard.

Of course there aren't 17 more rows on that plane!
SQ starts counting from row 11 on the A330 (single digit seat row numbers are reserved for F class configured planes) and skipped the 20s too (maybe used for economy plus or something else by them?)

THX...very happy
Hope the windows are clear in this one
How is the inflight entertainment?

Nice and clean windows on this one

Any news regarding brussels airlines long-haul fleet :
- 10th A330 still evaluated? Did they take a firm decision on the matter or not? If positive, when will this one enter the fleet?
- What about the replacement of the oldest A330's SN frames?
Thx

Do you know when it is expected now?

The 10th A330 is still scheduled to arrive later this year (Mumbai is still on the planning board).
Replacement of the oldest A330 will start by the end of 2018, a decision for which type is expected towards the end of this year.

SSJ will start commercial flights today

When will they retrofit oo-sfx to Brussels standard?

looks like the WDL BAE146 is back for Brussels Airlines D-AWBA https://www.flightradar24.com/data/aircraft/d-awba

[Bapt']

Flight to Birmingham operated for the first time with an A319 today

[convair]

A319s and A320s are serving occasionally more and more estinations like Marseille, Toulouse, Bologna, Birmingham...
But it's certainly not the first time Birmingham receives an A319 as insiders could confirm; it is not (yet) systematically the case but BHX has received A319s since at least 1 or 2 weeks.

SN was supposed to receive 2 more A319 and 1 more A320 for the summer season but they seem to be somewhat delayed. Anyone knows the reason?

[CTBke]

you'll see that more and more Avro destinations are becoming airbus destinations. on one side because the demand is higher and on the other side becuase they avro's are leaving the company

SSS and SSX are about to be deliverd as well as the SNH (finally)

Not exactly fleet renewal, but FR24 often shows 3 ERJ145 flying for SN at the same time, serving Nantes, Strasbourg, Nurenberg, Bremen, and sometimes Hamburg and even Torino, as well as Bristol of course.

Not quite correct... Yes, SSS is on schedule, and should arrive this month. SNH was delayed severely, but is now being converted to 180 pax, and should be delivered as soon as that is completed. Bur SSX was never scheduled to be delivered before the summer. I think it will be sep or oct...

Converted to 180 pax? It was already 180 pax when flying for Vueling.

I'm just quoting what Airfleets publishes on their website

True André but if it was the old config with the toilets in the cabin like Thomas Cook has they need to convert it into the new 180 with the toilets in the galley
