Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal

[lenain258]

The flight Brussels-Mumbai flight will bring the number SN 601
The Mumbai-Brussels flight SN602

[Airbus A330]

The flight Brussels-Mumbai flight will bring the number SN 601
The Mumbai-Brussels flight SN602

So, the 600-699 range for Asia.
Was it the same for Sabena?

[CTBke]

Sabena had 200-299 for Asia .. Chennai was 225/226 and Tokyo 207/208

[Bralo20]

SN601/602 was a BRU-LHR in the Sabena days, no idea if the flight continued after LHR.
(found some records of flights with a B707 and a DC-10)

Yes, we know. Since it is not related to fleet renewal, it has been published in this thread: https://www.aviation24.be/forums/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=58705

Why OO-SFX flies very little to the USA? Somebody knows ? Thanks

Why OO-SFX flies very little to the USA? Somebody knows ? Thanks

Maybe because it's still has the Singapore outfit...

It's very dirty and very poor inflight entertainment!

It is not very dirty. Just like all other European aircraft, the aircraft from Brussels Airlines are clean upon boarding. However, depending on the route, some aircraft are dirty indeed when pax deboard, because some passengers use the floor as garbage bin.

... ... and very poor inflight entertainment!

Well, it seems that Brussels Airlines has to admit they cannot satisfy you at all (just like your repeated complaints about Brussels Airport). Maybe you shouldn't use neither of them anymore? You will thus avoid having to use a dirty aircraft with poor entertainment at a third world airport in a what-country-is-this with too much police and army presence.

SFX is newer than the other A330 and can carry more cargo. The ship is very imprtant on some African destinations (Dakar, Kin...)

[OO-ITR]

OO-SSX is getting prepared in OSR.

That's not true Brussels Airlines is a good airline with a good product.
But this particularly airplane has not the same standard than the other A330 from Brussels.

If you book a Bussiness and you fly the SFX you are not happy.
And yes the entertainment system is also poor in SFX.(not much movies,no flight map etc...)

Maybe because the strong competition on the North American routes it's why they don't put SFX that's all.

And I repeat I love flying Brussels Airlines for multiple reasons but one is for the food,I think that's one of the best airline in the world on that matter sure if you fly out of FIH.

And my criticism against Brussels Airport are with a good argument and also to save Brussels Airlines because Brussels need a smooth and easy airport!

A nice addition to the fleet!

Potentiel next additions to the brussels airlines fleet :
. Airbus A319 ex-Frontier as OO-SSO?
or
. Airbus A330(-200) ex-Swiss & ex-Hedelweiss Air as OO-SFT?

[RTM]

if I remember correctly, SFX was delivered sooner than originally planned to facilitate the Toronto ops. Due to this, there was not enough time to obtain and install the SN interior. This upgrade was to be done after the summer season. If my info is correct, it will be done in november.
It is true that this aircraft has a higher payload, and is therefore mainly used on heavy cargo routes.

Nice thx...

OO-SSX has apparently joined the fleet. In a facebook group I saw a post from someone who heard the SSX perform the Rat-test. He checked FR24 after and it was the SSX.
Secondly, it seems to me that the OO-DWI has left the fleet. He didn't perform any flights since 26/9 and was planned to leave this month.
