I really don't know why some people keep coming up with a A340, let alone a -600. SN doesn't need such a big bird at the moment. The A340 really is an aircraft of the past, it's already out of production for 7 years.
If you like to dream about a bigger aircraft for SN, start with the A350. It's unlikely in the next 5 years, but maybe thereafter

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
This was already known.
That is very comfortable! Any idea of the seat width? 18 inch?

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
Some of Aer Lingus's Dublin - Gatwick rotations will use a leased Cityjet SSJ instead of one of their own A320's.as an extra? because they're already using their A320 on the route
In particular, the following rotation will definitely be using the SSJ:
Dublin - Gatwick
Gatwick - Knock
Knock - Gatwick
Gatwick - Dublin
Certainly a downgrade for Knock.
Possibly part of Dublin - London capacity review with BA.
Or simply a chance to redeploy the bigger A320 on profitable summer routes.
PS: Sorry to go off topic. Just wanted to add that Aer Lingus would, like Brussels Airlines, be leasing a Cityjet SSJ
Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
Looks like some good time ahead for Cityjet

So IAG is another wetlease customer of theirs then? Interesting indeed.sn26567 wrote: ↑22 Jan 2017, 23:23No problem: interesting news anyway!Charlie Roy wrote: ↑22 Jan 2017, 21:24 PS: Sorry to go off topic. Just wanted to add that Aer Lingus would, like Brussels Airlines, be leasing a Cityjet SSJ
It seems lke Cityjet is quickly building a business model on providing network airlines with an affordable solution to operate (new or additional) flights which are too thinly booked to fly their bigger mainline airplanes on, thus allowing them to cut their (self-)operating costs without cutting the flight itself.
It's a bit the BMI business model too, but then in a differently sized market segment.
It's something which has been quite commonly seen in the USA since years, but so far it wasn't in the EU: that seems to have chanced now.
Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
Avro OODWA left Brussels Airport today at 14:00LT as a ferry flight from a hangar destination Southend. Never to return again..?
Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
It's already going on for years here too... Just here at Brussels alone, Schreiner Airways operated Dash 8's and ATR's for Sabena for well over 10 years...Inquirer wrote: ↑23 Jan 2017, 14:04 So IAG is another wetlease customer of theirs then? Interesting indeed.

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
About the w/b fleet renewal/extension ..
American Airlines are expected to retire their entire A333 fleet (9 copies) from next year .. I don't know the exact status of these aircrafts, could it be of interest for SN 's purpose ?

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
Those planes are all 16 - 17 years old at the moment. Not much of a 'renewal'...sn-remember wrote: ↑24 Jan 2017, 01:13 About the w/b fleet renewal/extension ..

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
Indeed, the last joined A330 (OO-SFX) is only 7 years old. I guess they'll go more to those type of A330 rather than taking 15 years old aircrafts.
