Which A330 next for Brussels Airlines?

[nordikcam]

And the festival continues : 2 long haul flights canceled tomorrow sunday !!! They are inviting passengers flying AF/KL...

[convair]

Very handy SN received 2 additional rights to RDC !

@ Flanker2 : Maybe they should follow your idea after all: fly A319s/A320s to AFI !

[lumumba]

Just a question what is today the number of A330 flying for Brussels Airlines?

[nordikcam]

There are 7 right now ( 5 A 330-300 and 2 A 330-200 )...the next one will arrive very soon !

[lumumba]

The new flight to IAD will depart the 18th of june. Three weeks...and the aircraft will be in BRU earlier I guess...so, very soon !

[lumumba]

[OO-ITR]

here are some A332 on storage
c/n 290 (ex Sabena SFQ)
c/n 232
c/n 300 (ex Sabena SFS)
c/n 343
c/n 874
c/n 939
c/n 946

The last three are ex Kingfisher, they are rather new but I don't know in what shape they are...

There are also some ex Malaysian A333 but these are quiet old (same age as SN's A333 fleet) so I don't think (or I hope) that SN is interested in these birds...

[nordikcam]

When will arrive from Malta the OO-SFU ?

[Bel33]

already in Brussels? OO-SFU leave Malta last week...

[Bel33]

The flights of OO-SFU on Flightradar under SN flag:
SN1234 seen @ 2013-05-28 10:16 UTC
BEL001 seen @ 2013-05-25 06:40 UTC

[SFM]

SFU is not in BRU yet. Those "flights" don't show him actually leaving Malta, he's just taxiing around.
BEL001@ 2013-05-25 06:40 UTC shows him constantly going back & forth, changing heading. Maybe they were doing a compass swing?

[nordikcam]

Thx and when do wil SFU normaly arrive here in BRU ?

ircraft c/n 290 and 300 (ex Sabena) are no longer available on the market but are reserved to Aerolineas Argentinas for entry into service next summer

and c/n 343 (HB-IQO) goes to Air Atlanta Icelandic.

[convair]

Interesting: c/n 874 (ex-Kingfisher) was seen yesterday in Zurich under registration D-ALAA (Lufthansa Technik!). LH no longer has any A332, so...any plans for LX or SN there?

[RoMax]

Not for LX and LH for sure, both have only the -300 and they'll not return back to the -200 unless they need an extra aircraft fast for temporary capacity and that's very unlikely to me. Neither for OS which has a Boeing-only long haul fleet and they'll add another 777 next year.

[brusselsairlinesfan]

That would be great as it would mean the 9th A330 for brussels airlines, coming closer to a symbolic "10" heavies!
... and a relatively "new" airplane!
