The Jetairfly delegation (management, pilots, engineers, press) has left to Seattle to pick up the bird.

Jetairfly BRU-AGP (supposedly a 787) and Vueling AGP-BRU next Sunday prices at €140 with a few hours to enjoy Malaga. Anyone tempted?

The Jetairfly delegation (management, pilots, engineers, press) has left to Seattle to pick up the bird.

When will it arrive then?

4 or 5 December.

Maybe interesting for some on this forum: Jetairfly auctions tickets on Facebook for a promoflight BRU-OST-BRU with arrangements on the Dreamliner. The profit will go to 'Doctors without borders' for the Phillipines...More info on their facebook page

The status on the official Boeing www of OO-JDL just changed from #ready for delivery# into DELIVERED.

As per FlightRadar24, STA in BRU 11:30 CET. I wonder if she has already a valid CofA/ARC, or if she is flying under a Permit to Fly.

[Dreamflight]

Expect little delay. Currently above New Foundland

I wonder if she has already a valid CofA/ARC, or if she is flying under a Permit to Fly.

Although she is looking very sexy, I think it is a HE!

Deicing before departure (explains the delay):



Clearance received to BRU:



Or did the delay occur because the pilot forgot the key?

Thanks André !

Your fellow passenger Luc De Wilde (Travel Magazine) spoke live to VRT Radio around 09h00 this morning, so out of OO-JDL indeed.

Your fellow passenger Luc De Wilde (Travel Magazine) spoke live to VRT Radio around 09h00 this morning, so out of OO-JDL indeed.

I was not on board of the delivery flight, only at the airport to welcome it. You have to be a professional journalist working for recognised media to be invited on such flights!

And I was just wondering: how did he get a connection with the radio? There is no WiFi on board, thus not with Skype. With the pilot's radio then?

And here my video of the arrival :

Tonight in "Terzake" on Canvas = VRT2 = Flemish public television, at 20h00 (and constantly repeated during the night): "...De eerste Belgische ‘Boeing 787 Dreamliner’ landde vandaag in Zaventem. Wat is er zo speciaal aan dit nieuwe vliegtuig? En zijn de ernstige kinderziektes waar het mee kampte verholpen? Steven Decraene pikte de Dreamliner op in Seattle en vloog mee naar België..."

"The first Belgian Dreamliner landed at BRU today. What's so special about him/her? And are all technical issues now solved? Our journalist went to Seattle and came back with OO-JDL"

(also in Terzake tonight: one item about Johan Vandelanotte, one item about a new French law and one item about Obamacare)
