Yes, but they fly with Thai Airways with special conditions.
Says who? And what are those 'special conditions' ?

Do you mean British Airways or Brussels Airlines? As both airlines happen to be referred to BA on this forum :)

British off course, to remplace 787s in need of maintenance, SN would rather cancel than call AB.

Says who ? :roll:
If often depends who long the aircraft is AOG.
I know that we couldn't use AB is the past as AB was not ( yet) IOSA certificated.

Air Belgium is hiring again, next to cabin crew/managers/assistants and coordinators, they are also looking for motivated pilots. With an accent on co-pilots.

And it's also showing in the BA booking tool on those days. 'Operated by:Air Belgium For British Airways'

Nice business for AB,I believe.

BA155/154 are usually or planned flown by a 788 or 789, it has:
788: 154+25+35 = 214 seats
789: 127+39+42+8 = 216 seats

AB's A340 has 264+21+18 for a total of 303 seats. Weren't there any better-suiting options, or is there maybe an increase in demand too?

I can only imagine the face of a diehard Brexit Yes voter having booked a "BA flight" and boarding an aircraft with AIR BELGIUM billboard titles !

Arrrgh .....
