The OO-TCW still is in repair by belgian engineers to try to solve to problem but because end of vacation they couldn't risk to hope that the 320 is repaired by tomorrow.
Thanks stragke.
OO-TCT is on her way to Munich at this very moment, as scheduled Condor flight DE-1600. Landing at MUC is expected for 20h34 (ETA 21h05). So probably OO-TCT will fly empty to Heraklion later tonight (average flying time HER-MUC is 2h25min).
...A United Boeing 777-200, registration N781UA performing flight UA-999 from Newark,NJ (USA) to Brussels (Belgium) with 246 people on board, was enroute at FL380 over the Atlantic Ocean about 580nm east of Gander,NL (Canada), when cabin crew noticed fumes in the cabin and informed the flight deck. An examination showed the odour was basically confined to the first class inboard lavatory...

maybe this was the best possible solution to return to EWR in stead of arriving with a huge delay at BRU Airport .. or it can be their company procedure to return to the airport of origin.

Flight 515 to Washington was previously cancelled today
SFX back to Brussels from Abidjan with more than 24hrs delayed as SN1256
That's three A330s (or 33% of the sub-fleet) in trouble simultaneously! That can hurt

"Only" 2 apparently had problems (SFU and SFX) but with domino effect on flights (cancellations) of course.

A lot of mistakes by the Ukrainian pilots apparently. Their license should be removed.
Interesting also to see the comments of readers of AvHerald (including that of the ATCO in charge of that flight).
