Maybe they can do a special flight(s) above Belgium with a Korongo airlines BAe146 for aviation lovers.
Fingers crossed!

Destination is not so important for me.
Thanks.
You can always ask themselve on their Facebook or Twitter-page. I think they'll be more than happy to sell you a ticket! :lol:

OO-MJE will be scheduled on a daily base to operate the MRS and PRG flights out of BRU. (not confirmed (yet) but most probably)

MJE is loaded in the systems for MRS and PRG as from 2nd of Feb indeed.

The flights selected will be the morning flight to MRS (SN3597/3598) and the afternoon flight to PRG (SN2811/2812), but as always nothing is for sure: the plane can be swapped shortly before departure, so don't book you're flights yet.

Indeed correct. IATA/ICAO code will be:

ZC KGO 557 Korongo Airlines

MJE left BRU for the paint shop only the day before yesterday, Shanti, so some more patience will be needed.

BTW, I doubt it will be back on time to do the flights on 2 FEB as currently loaded in the GDS.

Hi,

Just looked for a ticket to MRS, indeed the morning flight is loaded with Bae146, but
if I see ticket prices for a day/2day return I think I better wait till I ever go to Kinshasa ...
Damn, so high ticket prices.. :(
But if SN organise a kind of roundflight-trip I will be in, maybe as a goodbye to belgium flight or so just before leaving for AFI, but I don't think it will happen as they not used anymore for doing these flights for any reason...

As expected. I suppose PRG isn't cheaper?
If you book short notice, you're booking flights at peak pricing.

However, since the plane will be flying on the EU network for some time, you might want to book a flight for date deep in February, although you have a big risk the flight schedule has been changed back to normal by then...

Anyway, I don't know what is so special about being on MJE: on the inside, you don't see the Korongo paintjob: all the rest will be regular SN service really.

Thanks for the IATA/ICAO codes!

Another question:
Are the planes going to remain on Belgian registration or DRC registration?

Thx ;)

That's some good cash management... I would let it tour accross Europe as it is on my regional network to all the bug airports of my netork to let the business men get to know it.

and what do you think how many businessmen will understand that and make the link to a new airline about to start operations somewhere in central africa with one or two planes managed by Brussels Airlines?? I guess most people would rather complain about this and say: look, now they even start wet leasing cheap african aircraft in order to save some more money, people might even be afraid about security :oops:
