Air Bourbon A-340 F-OITN appeared through the fog on saturdaymorning dec. 5th at the SN-technics-apron. Does anybody know how long it's going to stay in Brussels and what the next assignment will be for this beautifull bird ?

Air Bourbon being bankrupt, it could stay here for some time. The time to find a new operator for that bird...

I've just read on a french website that AirBouron has an unpaid invoice with Sabena Flight academy...
So I guess SFA is in right to request the grounding of that Airbus until they are paid.

Hello everybody, this is my first message on Luchtzak Aviation
According to
ATDB , F-OITN should be transfered to Eurofly. It would be the first italian A340 !

The A340 is still here in BRU. The only thing she did was an enginetest around noon

I was sad to see F-OITN in the chilly rain this morning. Its nr 4 engine was scrapped.
She flew all around the world in the most exotic destinations (LAX, KIX, NRT, PPT, RUN,...) and ends up so saddly...

So sadly??
This airplane will fly in a couple of weeks. Now they will set the airplane in a good fly condition.

Hi FB,
Where did you see F-OITN this morning? Seeing F-OITN was the main purpose of my BRU-visit a week ago, and even after walking to Aviapartner behind SN Technics, I didn't get to see the aircraft...
