On 11,12,13 June 4 flights in total will be operated from BRU to LED. Flights are classified as "Charter Flights". Do they transport supporters? Possible or not. On the 12th there is also another SN BRU-LED flight but as a passenger and not charter this time !

SN1041 for Friday(OOSSX)
SN1035 for saturday (OOSNA :lol:)
....

So it's not like planes are missing or OOSNA isn't available..

Samuel,
Maybe the reason is simple: that fans club had booked OOSNA quite some time in advance and offered SN a better deal in order to fly the "iconic" Red Devils plane.

Piet Erauw, team manager of the Red Devils, confirmed in an interview that extra comfort was the only reason.

Brussels Airlines offered to fly with a dedicated A330 with full flat bed in business class, while the the 30 years old 737-300 from klasjet, does not offer that. Confort he said?

I m not even sure it s about money, marketing-wise, it would be a very good advertisment for brussels airlines to fly them, I don't think they ask too much to the federation

Why would you need full flat beds for the short distances the Devils fly to?

Apparently it has more to do with CRL, which offered them a sweet deal. Bus on the tarmac, directly to their plane, no hassle through security, border control, luggage,...

CRL much more convenient and accessible than BRU. This has been their moto for more than a decade to attract new companies.

CRL much more convenient and accessible than BRU (at least by car). This has been their moto for more than a decade to attract new companies.

"CRL much more convenient and accessible than BRU." It depends from where and who you are. If you take me, living in Brussels, BRU is an interesting point where you can catch many trains & many bus lines. CRL, nearly nothing. I'm at BRU in 30 minutes and CRL if I don't take Flibco in more than a hour. It depends for who exactly.

The main reason why they attract here is more for low prices that CRL can give and not BRU.

Surely more accessible due to the works on R0. It was simple to bring the SN bird to CRL....

Fortunately they had a spare and LY-FLT took them to BUD.

It looks like more and more teams want a luxury jet to bring them to the Euro2020 cities. The Dutch team went to Bucarest on a specially equipped Titan Airways A321. Are there other examples besides Belgium the Netherlands and the Czech republic?

The Swedish have been using 2Excel B733, I think the Germans are using the KlasJet B735 tomorrow for their travel to London as well. The Portuguese and Spanish have used an Horizont B734, although I’m not sure which configuration that’s in at the moment.

Frenchies are using Air Horizont and Czechs with KLH as well.

Wasn't one of the arguments of Brussels Airlines after they lost the contract; "Can you imagine the French team travelling on another airline than Air France?"

Yeah. Another "stupid" reason.
