Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
Just wondering, OO-SFB has been in brussels for a really long time now, is it going to be repainted soon in Brussels Airlines colors?
Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
LOL only 2 weeks, repaint is not in the pipeline yet as they need all the planes in their daily operations ... especially with SFU being grounded

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
SFY won't go out if SFU is still not in service, if I have well understood ?

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
SFD is (was?) supposed to enter ops this week with the new interior. That would make a total of 10, even without SFU and SFY.TLspotting wrote: ↑19 Apr 2019, 23:19SFY won't go out if SFU is still not in service, if I have well understood ?
Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
SFD will replace SFE or SFG, both already started operating with ex-SIA interior to ensure an 'on-time' phase-out of SFM/N/O, but were originally never intended to operate for SN with their old cabins. They are next up for the retrofit (1 by 1) as these cabins are the worst for customer experience (no lie-flat C class, limited spare parts of the SIA interior/IFE, etc.).

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
Question,
Will OO-SFF be with the new cabin outfit when it joins the fleet in June, or will it start flying and then be transformed at a later stage?

Why not about all the flemish/belgian Masters painters : from Brueghel and Rubens to Ensor and Permeke ?!cathay belgium wrote: ↑24 Apr 2019, 15:36 Then it when he brueghel , wasn't this year thé year if Brueghel with special exhibitions and so on

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
I must admit that I am à bit lost :
. What will be the A330 SN fleet after the replacement?
. Which aircrafts are flying for brussels airlines and Eurowings ?
. Which birds are painted in the EW c/s or SN c/s ?

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
Interesting. That would mean an overall increase from 10 to 11 aircraft, if they all operatie for SN. So while being silent about it, they would have expanded! Is that correct? And they would have used this for additional frequencies to Africa. Or would they still have room for more flights?Airbus2016 wrote: ↑27 Apr 2019, 01:43 Sn fleet will be: 8 a330-300

Unless OO-SNB is operating only for EW.
Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
If you look at
https://sites.google.com/site/lhgroupfleet/brussels
you'll see that OO-SFU will leave the fleet also, but only in one year (March 2020) ...
So for the time being it will be still at 10 planes from then onwards ... unless some of the A330 additional aircraft planned by LH are for SN (see their annual report).
How this will work operationally, I don't know. I made a simulation for the number of flights when Kinshasa will be back at 7 flights a week. Don't know if the following schema is correct though (and that is a summer scheme):
1 Dakar 3
2 Dakar Banjul 4
3 Banjul Conakry 3
4 Freetown Monrovia 5
5 Accra Lomé 7
6 Abidjan Cotonou 4
7 Abidjan Ougadougou 3
8 Douala Yaounde 6
9 Douala Kinshasa 1
10 Kinshasa Luanda 3
11 Kinshasa 3
12 Bujumbura Entebbe 1
13 Kigali Entebbe 6
14 Toronto 5
15 New York 7
16 Washington 7
