Anomalies in BRU-ANR-CRL-LGG-OST in 2019

[sn26567]

It is strange that Het Laatste Nieuws talks about 350 passengers when the capacity of TUI's 787 is 300 passengers.

Nope, it's 305 -)

TUI fly BE website ("our fleet") says 300. But I guess insiders know better...

Isn’t there a difference in configuration between JDL and LOE?

Indeed, according to Airfleets.net :
OO-JDL
W : 25
Y : 280

OO-LOE
W : 47
Y : 253

I will not return to the festival of cancellations that seems to start again at SN. Only 7 long-haul planes in the air and no possibility to find a replacement plane. No Toronto as usual. That said, all flights to Africa usually leave daily with significant delays. What can justify it? Zero anticipation or permanent problem of last minute. Douala 1h30 late, Dakar 1h today. If the connecting passengers are expected, as there will soon be no connection, the problem will resolve itself ...

Diversion ? Flight AA 204 PHL AMS arrived @ BRU around 11 AM. B767-3 N344AN

[KriVa]

Correct. AUA3EM diverted as well.

[TLspotting]

Both due to fog and unusual long holding time.
AA is the first time since 2016, if I'm not wrong.

Welcome to Aviation24.be, John.

Sorry to have approved your first post too late for the fly-by. But you can enjoy my picture of the fly-by in the BRU spotting forum of 2/12/2019: viewtopic.php?f=21&t=67660&p=389754#p389754

Hear! Hear! Did I miss something?

OO-SSI is AOG in AGP, Málaga.

She landed there yesterday but the SN3736 AGP-BRU she was to operate at 13:05 was cancelled.

On BRU web site, an SN1956 (?!) to arrive today from AGP at 1745 is cancelled.

SFU stretching her wings this morning.

About to perform the SN201 to Dakar.
This flight was to be operated by SFG but yesterday afternoon Uniform was put in line instead.
This morning some more time was requested to dust off the lady and the 11:25 departure has been postponed till 16:00, for the moment.

Fly SN, fly !

So we replaced a plane able to fly by a plane that was not ... beautiful management!

[Homo Aeroportus]

According to flightstats.com, a 332 (unidentified) was planned to operate SN243 to FNA-ROB.
It got replaced by Golf yesterday early afternoon, at the same time the swap to Uniform was made on SN201.
Maybe a 333 was needed to run Freetown-Monrovia, or Ops felt that Uniform needed a bit more time to be ready today.

SFU got towed to Pier B around 12:40. Long boarding it seems but now finally proceeding for RWY 25R.
So take-off should be +5 hours late.

SFU's life has been quite hectic recently: engine stall due to contaminated fuel a few months ago and last week a bloody nose during a push-back in BRU. I hope she'll survive until her retirement apparently foreseen for March next year .

There is Airbus A 330 of Aer Lingus on the tarmac at BRU?!

EI-EIM Resting on stand 518 at BRU. Came in on delivery from TLS, and is here for mx at LH Technics for WiFi installation, will be delivered to Aer Lingus in December 2019. Quoted from jetphoto.

MS546 - CAI-OST - SU-GCE diverted to BRU due to fog, probably.
