Just found out that the A330 which is sitting grounded and heavily damaged in Cameroon is out till the end of next week and as the 'spare' A330 is 'unavailable' as well, SN will once more have to wet-lease a Tristar... :roll:
leasing a Tristar or a 767 from Euro Atlantic Airways :wink:

OO-SFW is having a C-check in Madrid now. Interior, galleys and baggage bins will also be renewed.

edited after posting by author : C-check is done in ZRH, not in MAD.

Does this mean this one is also leased?

Gasp :?

update: luchtvaartnieuws says: De vierde A330 (ex-Air Madrid) werd de afgelopen zomermaanden al ingezet op chartervluchten en ondergaat momenteel een C-check in Zürich

So what ? Brussels Airlines is not the only airline in the world to lease planes:

LX-LGX, I think you misunderstood the article. The A330 is at the moment in Zurich.
On airliners.net you can find a picture of it in the LX hangar.

There you go, this plane is bought, not leased.
If it were leased from some Spanish entity who leased it first to Air-madrid it would not have been abnormal that the airplane would have had its C-check in Madrid.

Read what other people write before outing critics.
