Their tenth A330 is an A330-200 so I guess they will use the -200 on the BOM flight?

Re: Brussels Airlines will start Mumbai from March 2017
The route is postponed until 30 March. Does anyone knows the reason?
Re: Brussels Airlines will start Mumbai from March 2017
Its only 3 weeks delay, sn26567 said in another topic it could be for "Indian bureaucracy" and SN announced "operationnel reasons". So...I wonder if the reservation are good ...fbruno wrote:The route is postponed until 30 March. Does anyone knows the reason?
Re: Brussels Airlines will start Mumbai from March 2017
End of March is the start of the "Northern Summer Season". Thus a lot easier to start a new route as from 30th March regarding time tables, booking engines, slots, ...

For sure *A will organize the flight for those passengers via FRA, MUC or ZRH... I continue to fly on LH or AF although sometimes the flight is canceled for various reasonssean1982 wrote:That's 3 weeks of booked customers that will never come back.airbuske wrote:Reason is administration and aircraft not ready on time.fbruno wrote:The route is postponed until 30 March.

That will be a 330-200 flight only, unless SFX is available for the rotation.
The (very) ageing A333s cannot fly BOM-BRU without penalties, moreover, there are too many no-fly zones (or potential ones) on this route.

There were only between 700 and 800 passengers for BOM for the 3 cancelled weeks, i think that's also a reason in addition with operational issues...
