Rather unusual.

Rather unusual.

Used to a left hand turn when taking off from 25R?

The routing is unusual, not the departure itself.
Possibly for airspace restrictions (-> avoiding a CTOT).

United Airlines flight UA973 from Brussels to Chicago O'Hare (Boeing 787-10 reg. N16008) made a U-turn just after passing over London and returned to Brussels "because we need additional time to assist customers on this flight" (says United). Strange justification: did someone forget his wallet, or was some baggage still not loaded?

The first takeoff from BRU was scheduled at 10:10 (UTC+1) and effective at 10:26. Back in Brussels at 11:51 and new take-off at 13:14.

The flight is now expected to land at ORD at 14:48 (UTC-5), two and a half hours late.

Do you seriously believe this message is related to the reason of the return to BRU?

The message was posted after the return to Brussels and before the second departure.

[Lux_avi]

The message was posted after the return to Brussels and before the second departure.

So yes, this message explains the delay for the new departure.
Not anything close to the reason why they returned.

KF278 (OE-LAL) diverted back to BRU tonight, staying in hold for over 2 hours.
Any specific reason known?

I noticed it too.
Playback: https://www.flightradar24.com/data/airc ... l#342d22f6 (see also the altitude and speed graph)
Tracking log: https://www.flightaware.com/live/flight ... R/tracklog

The above data show that during the time (about half an hour) that it was out of reach over the Atlantic, it descended from 34,750ft to 10,000ft, an altitude it then maintained all the way back to Belgium where it was kept in a hold over 2 hours near Erpe-Mere at an altitude varying between 8,000 to 10,000ft, before proceeding to BRU to land.

No news yet in the Aviation Herald.

It seems OO-SFG is AOG at KGL since Saturday 16, hence the cancellation of JFK flight on Sunday 17, and of the FIH flight on Monday 18. It's supposed to fly back to BRU as a positioning flight SN9906.

On March 16, an Air Arabia Maroc Airbus A320-200 (reg. CN-NMH) was operating flight 3O851 from Oujda, Morocco, to Brussels when it experienced engine trouble. The aircraft was at FL340, around 70nm east of Malaga when the crew decided to turn around and descend to FL330. They then diverted to Casablanca, Morocco, where they landed safely about 50 minutes later. The issue was reported to be a recurring problem with one of the engines (CFM56).

On 20 March, an Air Belgium flight from Brussels to Cincinnati (Airbus A330-200F reg. OE-LAL) experienced a mid-air emergency due to a potential ventilation system malfunction, prompting the aircraft to return to Brussels Airport. The flight, identified as KF278, raised the emergency squawking code 7700 approximately 90 minutes into the journey. Despite the setback, the aircraft landed safely without incident, and maintenance crews attended to the issue upon arrival.

The aircraft eventually operated flight KF278D from Brussels to Cincinnati on 22 March.

This is rather an anomaly on Flightradar24:

Yesterday (24 March), Brussels Airlines resumed flights to Tel Aviv. Airbus A320 OO-SNJ operated flight SN3289. Flightradar24 data show that the aircraft diverted to Beirut. However, the same FR24 website shows that one hour after landing in BEY (?), the flight departed normally from Tel Aviv. Wow: teleportation!

Note: a Brussels Airlines spokesman confirmed that flight SN3289 landed normally in TLV.
