Flightradar shows flight details for all other RJ1H's today. OO-DWD's last revenue flight on Flightradar was yesterday.

Who knows when will arrive the next A319 orA320 ? Thx.
Hi,

If you are referring to my post about OO-DWD: I'm not sure - it's only based upon Flightradar data.
OO-DWD presently on its way to Milan LIN as SN3147. (source: FR24)

60 what? 46 what? What do you mean by "in the 300"? Can you reformulate your question?

Lumumba says maybe 46 rows of seats in an A330-300?

In which case your next trip is scheduled on our latest A330-300, OO-SFX, which has retained its seat row numbering from its previous user Singapore Airlines for now, until the cabin will be reconfigured to our latest standard.

Of course there aren't 17 more rows on that plane!
SQ starts counting from row 11 on the A330 (single digit seat row numbers are reserved for F class configured planes) and skipped the 20s too (maybe used for economy plus or something else by them?)

How is the inflight entertainment?

SN is currently using an Avro 146-300 (D-ABWA) from WDL Aviation. Why? Is it a wet-lease? For how long?

I see lots of Southern Destinations
And London Heathrow

I was wondering, with 202 seats, isn't this plane a bit too big?
Or is demand so high at the moment?

I get job offers from SN on an almost daily basis, so Titan must be covering a crew shortage.

Seems to me that it is used to cover for the delayed delivery of SNH...
Remember, that one was supposed to be the Trident plane, so should have been flying for several months allready...

Fueling a 757 iso an A320 in destinations where the competition either flies an A320 or a B738 with MORE seats. Auch ... that's gonna hurt

I don't think there is an ongoing crew shortage. This Titan 757 (G-ZAPX) is flying for Brussels Airlines since Friday 10th June, with Barcelona, Malaga, Nice. Today: Rome, Nice and perhaps another one tonight (edited: the third flight is a second time Nice). And as DeltaWiskey reported: the 757 is only flying for SN till Monday 13th June.

What I think: sales for Turkey are down 50-75% with all Belgian touroperators. And every report about a new bomb blast in Istanbul means another 100 last minutes lost for the Turkish riviera. Those Turkey-clients are now looking for another destination, and winners are Morocco, Spain & Canary Islands, Southern France and Italy (and even Eastern Europe).

Most Belgian charter flights to Turkey are/were done by Turkish charters like Tailwind, SunExpress, Pegasus, Onur Air. However, flights to Morocco and Southern Europe are done by the Belgian airlines themselves, with Brussels Airlines flying a lot for Thomas Cook Airlines Belgium. My guess: the rest of June, and July and August will be very good months for all Belgian airlines.

(edited: third flight 11th June added)
