Then it would be wise to cancel the IAD route and to keep or increase the capacity on Africa. Too many competitors are flying to Africa and it would be not good to decrease overthere.

I don't think they increased the Afi flights compared to S14, only compared to W13/14. The IAD flights were not daily and they have permanently a plane in C-check during winter. So, full capacity will be back in S15, allowing increase in Afi flights, even if IAD resumes.

Any news on the arrival dates of those 2 planes which went for a repaint in Ireland?
One was a new plane even I think, the other would get 'something special'?
I am curious. :-)

SSU returned to BRU yesterday, has already returned to service. I'm curious about the paint as well.
SSI (the 'new' one) is still in SNN, I think.

Luchtvaartnieuws.nl mentions that 3 A330-200s will leave the KLM fleet in 2015 (end of lease).
Will those become available on the market?
If so, maybe they could be a good addition to Brussels Airlines' fleet?
Best regards,

Duke

Surprising...as their oldest ones are only 10 years old! Maybe a good opportunity indeed, if only for partial renewal, but probably not cheap.

A new guess about the special livery... A livery for the 185th anniversary of Belgium :?:

We still have SSI in the hangar right ;)
When in doubt, hold on to your altitude. No-one has ever collided with the sky.

And DWA will come back at SN, if I am not mistaken?

I've passed through M&E at B32 a few weeks ago and if I remember well I saw boxes with titles as "OO-SSP Recaro seats" so my guess is that's SSP is just undergoing a C-check and a modification of it's seats (and hopefully the galleys too) but I'm not 100% sure about that :)

If they change the interior of the OO-SSP, it will mean that it will stay on the fleet for a couple of years more, but I'm quite surprise about this information, the new recaro seat are not the one for the OO-SSI coming shortly?
