The fans of the "Red Devils" (Belgian national football team) have launched a challenge : to gather 10.000 fans at Brussels airport to see the team departing to Craotia for an important match, on 10 october.
The Brussels Airport security is not happy, it seems.

They already got 1, checked and cleared

Difficult to make this one work I think

Coach Marc Wilmots said on twitter he has seen a sketch of a SN plane painted in special Belgian/Red Devils colors.

His tweets:

Marc Wilmots ‏@WilmotsMarc
Schets gezien v/h Belgische getinte vliegtuig voor Zagreb. Knap! Fier dat we vanaf nu met Belgische maatschappij @FlyingBrussels vliegen!

Marc Wilmots ‏@WilmotsMarc
J'ai vu les plans de l'avion aux couleurs belges pour Zagreb. Joli! Fier de pouvoir désormais voler avec la société belge @FlyingBrussels!

Does anybody know more about this?

Didn't know that Thomas Cook Belgium was a foreign airline.....

He didn't say that! Read carefully his statement. TCAB is another Belgian airline..... (owned by a foreign company)

Isn't sn 45% of Lufthansa ?

And 55% (a majority) of Belgian investors.

So? SN will always be a Belgian airline, even if it's part of an international group.

Just like KLM will always be a Dutch airline, even if it's part of Air France.

The A320 with the red devils colors is OO-SNC, pictured here :

A320 OO-SND has also the same decoration as the SNC.

HLN is speaking of a couple of hundreds people at BRU to say the Red Devils goodbye, Nieuwsblad is sticking to the 3.000 figure, I wonder how many people really went to BRU. According to the pictures at the internet it seems to be a couple of hundred at most and no where near 3.000 let alone 10.000 like originally foreseen. What happened? To strict security measures? I wouldn't call it a "flop" but you can't call it a success either...

Anyway, hope we will win in Croatia and qualify for Brazil 2014.

[jan_olieslagers]

Who cares, anyway?

[travellover]

Aviation fans, that's for sure !
Pretty decoration ! Less classical than the (nice) SN one.

Nice decoration... Good to see brussels airlines teaming up with the red devils! Success to these true belgian ambassadors!

No thanks to the supporters??

Its a disgrace that not half of the players greets their fans
