Jetairfly offers the only direct flights between Brussels and the Caribbean
In 2013, for the 18th consecutive year, travellers can reach the Caribbean directly from Brussels. Since last weekend, Jetairfly is the only airline to offer direct flights between Brussels Airport and the Caribbean.
The advantages of these direct flights are multiple:
• From the airport of Brussels, nonstop without additional stress
• saves time because you do not pass the registration and security control more than once
• nice flight frequencies effectively offer great flexibility in the length of the stay
• service in your language at the registration, the airport, the aircraft until the arrival at destination
• choice between Comfort and Economy Service
• All these benefits are combined with comfort at the tightest prices

Domlinican Republic:Punta Cana and Santo Domingo
Jamaica: Montego Bay
Mexico: Cancun
Cuba: Varadero
Kenya: Mombasa (From July)
Tanzania: Zanzibar (From July)

New from the past weekend: iPad in-flight entertainment on long-haul
New: with the launch of the current winter season, the entertainment system offered on flights of Jetairfly to the Caribbean, Kenya, Tanzania and Thailand has been replaced. The current PEP (Personal Entertainment Player) entertainment system has been replaced by Bluebox for iPad. Passengers thus have a wide choice of recent films, television programs, news and daily newspapers, music, children's programmes and games.

The content, containing daily news broadcasts and television programmes, was born from a collaboration with RTL-tvi and VRT. Le Soir and De Morgen / Het Nieuws Laatste newspapers are available online on the iPad.

The iPad is available free of charge for passengers travelling in Comfort Service. If you are travelling in Economy Service, you can book in advance an iPad for 10 € each way. During the flight, Economy passengers can get an iPad through 12 € per trip, subject to availability.

Starred meals on board (Jeunes Restaurateurs d'Europe)
VIP Selection passengers receive a meal prepared by a starred Belgian chef of Jeunes Restaurateurs d'Europe (JRE). This winter, the Vivendum restaurant's chef Alex Clevers of Dilsen Stokkem (1 Michelin star) created these meals.

New: next summer, this concept celebrates its 10th season, with meals prepared by starred chef Maxime Collard of restaurant La Table de Maxime in Our/Paliseul (1 Michelin star).

Further renewal of the fleet in spring 2013
In February and March, Jetairfly wilol introduce two new Embraer E190 jets with 112 seats. Thanks to them, in summer 2013 there will be more direct flights than ever.

At the same time, in February and April, three new Boeing 737-800 will be added to the fleet.

During the summer of 2013, the Jetairfly fleet will consist of 17 Boeing 737 next generation, 2 Embraer and and 2 long-haul aircraft.

The average age of the medium-haul fleet will reach only 4.8 years. Jetairfly confirms its status as the Belgian airline with the youngest fleet.

Jetairfly will receive another brand new B738 (OO-JAU) tomorrow, February 20th.
Two other brand new B738's will arrive around April.

The first Embraer 190, OO-JEM, will arrive in Brussels on Thursday February 28th.
The second one, OO-JEB, will arrive on March 16th.

There has been no information given to Jetairfly regarding the B787. It is still supposed to arrive in November 2013, although that might slip into a later date as everybody can imagine. No official info from Boeing yet on this topic.

The registrations of the two other 738s coming are OO-JAY and OO-JAV.

Who among the Luchtzak members will be the first to fly the first Belgian Embraer?

[Reg E S Potter]

"the first Belgian Embraer"

Tut, tut Andre!

Are there not Embraers flying for the Air Component? Also there used to be Embraer 120 Brasilias in the DAT fleet and there are still a couple of Xingu on the register

Something like "the first Belgian E190" or "the first Belgian commercial Embraer jet aircraft" (to exclude the ex-DAT Embraers) may be better? ;p

[sn26567]

I know. My mistake. I flew myself on the DAT Brasilias.

I should have written "First E-Jet" or "Embraer 170-190".
