Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
Is LH leasing the aircrafts or SN?

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
They are being bought from a lessor so no leasing.
(well maybe SN will lease them from LH or EW if SN don't buy the planes themselfs, but they will be LH-group owned, not owned by a leasing company)
Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
LH buys the aircraft from the lessors and leases them to SN.

It's a pity some people shamelessly use this forum not for information nor for discussion but for their own advertising!Stij wrote: ↑24 May 2017, 09:38Thanks airsrilanka, but we it's kind of old news on the forum: it as already announced 2 days ago, and thoroughly discussed!airsrilanka wrote: ↑24 May 2017, 09:12 7 used A330-300 are going to replace ageing A330s in Brussels Airlines fleet

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
They say that they will replace some A333's and some A332's by seven A333's. So they are going for an increase of seat capacity on their long-haul fleet.

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
To answer Lucas' question: extra capacity because some 200s are replaced by bigger 300s. No extra frames for the time being.convair wrote: ↑24 May 2017, 16:08tolipanebas wrote: ↑22 May 2017, 12:45 SN officially announces the purchase of 7 A330-300 to replace older A332 and A333 nearing their end of lease with, thus upgrading the longhaul fleet and adding additional capacity to the markets served.

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
Talking about paint... why is OO-SSC the only one in Star Alliance livery? With the new equipment coming in, one could think of another Star Alliance logojet, no?luchtzak wrote: ↑26 May 2017, 11:47 EI-FWF painted in Brussels Airlines livery

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
Small airlines (and big(ger) ones with a 'big ego') usually don't like to have too many alliance-logojets in their fleet as although it links them to a global group, it is usually not that well know by the big public (and those that understand the benefits of an alliance from a customer point of view, don't need a logojet to know that) and they already have enough work on maintaining and strengthening their own brand image.skumfiduse wrote: ↑26 May 2017, 12:33 Talking about paint... why is OO-SSC the only one in Star Alliance livery?

I'm quite sure SN prefers putting it's money in additional Belgian Icon paints over additional Star Alliance paints. Although I'm not saying they are not thinking about a second one, I have no clue.
Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
I have noticed that the SSJ SN flights are often delayed. What is the reason? Tx
Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
I agree, but isn't there an obligation to have a certain number of aircraft painted in the Alliance livery, e.g.1 out of 20 or 25?

Based upon the one-week history on Flightradar, they are not often delayed:

Errr.. That second list shows they ARE delayed, albeit mostly just by 15 minutes and even arriving before their STA.Passenger wrote: ↑30 May 2017, 12:43Based upon the one-week history on Flightradar, they are not often delayed:

That first link is weird: showing a FR plane, but mentioning a SU95... Anyway, the other CityJet SSJ flying for SN is EI-FWE:
