BRU Winter 2016-2017: news, new routes, airlines

[Av24.be]

Cityjet will deploy a base at Brussels Airport in 2017: https://www.aviation24.be/airlines/cityjet ... s-airport/

And for me, flying frequently to BOD, SN could fly BOD year around

As from May, SN will also fly on Tuesdays to Bordeaux (one additional weekly rotation).

Cityjet will operate flights for Brussels Airlines through a wetlease agreement. Avro's will be replaced by new A319/320 and by two SSJ operated by Cityjet.

Will there be Brussels Airlines stickers on these ssj100's like they did with the D-AWBA?

[sn26567]

Or will they be painted in full SN colours like the Flybe Q400s? Cityjet is becoming a specialist in wet leases: their CRJ900s are painted in SAS colours.

D-AWBA was a short term wet-lease... it's normal that she has ever been painted in the SN colour

[CTBke]

BMI's G-RJXI flying for SN isn't painted in their colors either .. its also with a small sticker and that's a long term lease ..

[Airbus A330]

Hello,
I see several NH 231/NH 232 upgraded to 789 these days.
Is it due to a higher PAX? / cargo? demand or replacement of some 788 in maintenance?

[JOVAN]

Rwandair has received their second A330.

Any chance that they start up connection with Brussels ?

Competition for SN ? Or Codesharing ??

They codeshare with SN on BRU-KGL. They currently use their two A330s (a -200 and a -300) on African routes (NBO, JNB,...) and to Dubai. In Europe the idea is to serve London Gatwick first (around end January 2017), with Paris CDG and Frankfurt added at a later date.

While looking at the announced flights for today on FR24, I came across EY 059 from AUH STA 1635 /
EY 060 back to AUH STD 1725.

A mistake in the Flightradar data base or something new to expect

[sn26567]

Is it the 32A (Airbus A320 with sharklets) that bothers you? That should indeed be an error.

But also the flight numbers do not correspond to anything coming regularly to BRU... The BRU website timetable also shows these flights, but when you click on the airplane image to find out the type of aircraft, nothing appears.

Thus: error!
