Based upon the one-week history on Flightradar, they are not often delayed:
EI-EKR:
https://www.flightradar24.com/data/aircraft/ei-ekr
EI-FWE:
https://www.flightradar24.com/data/aircraft/ei-fwe
Errr.. That second list shows they ARE delayed, albeit mostly just by 15 minutes and even arriving before their STA.
That first link is weird: showing a FR plane, but mentioning a SU95... Anyway, the other CityJet SSJ flying for SN is EI-FWE:
https://www.flightradar24.com/data/aircraft/ei-fwe
Indeed: that link is a Flightradar blooper. And a world's first actually: the first Ryanair SSJ. I will tell them (I mean I will tell FR24, not FR).

Actually, I haven't really looked into into it: I saw all those green flights on FR24 so I just copy/pasted the link and posted it. I've spent about a minute to my reply, which is more then enough for a very subjective post failing relevant facts "I have noticed that the SSJ SN flights ware often delayed. What it is the reason?".

You already know the registrations of A330 purchased by SN?

I don't know if it has been already posted but the first A330-300 from the renewal will arrive in December 2018, so within 19 month

The beginning of the revolution of SN long haul fleet will take place in December 18 ... very good news...so there will be no "new" news about an amplification of the long haul fleet by then ? Thx.

I wonder if by playing with the phase in and phase out of the aircraft it couldn't be a possibility to grow the fleet to "11" A330.

Well, Eurowings has a fleet of 6 A330-200. Wouldn't they be interesting for Brussels Airlines and Thomas Cook Airlines team-up to operate flights to low-yield/leisure destinations? Also, limited risk if a route wouldn't live up to expectations.

I understood the first A330's (that are part of the fleet roll-over) will already arrive in spring 2018, and that 5 out of 7 will arrive a few months earlier than needed. This opens up some possibilities for new destination(s) or additional frequencies. Apparently, some new destinations are already in an advanced stage.

We should not forget that SQ and CX, from where SN will get its 'new' planes, are now also performing poorly.
Suffering from competition with the GULF airlines.
Revenus and Profits are down, costs are higher.

So maybe they want to get rid of a part of their fleet as soon as possible, as they also are getting new A350's etc.

Brussels Airlines will continue to fly to BMA with the RJ100 until 15 June as the SSJ100 are still not completely certified for Bromma

The Flybe contract with Brussels Airlines (wet-lease of two Q400s), which expires in October 2017, will not be extended.

I guess that the Q400-operated flights will be served by SSJ100s.

It's about time! Flying the Q400, what a nightmare !
