Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal

According to the open jobs on the company's website and some press rumours, it seems that SN would get the A321F fleet flying for LH cargo, from Cityline. The company's website advertised open jobs for A32F pilots. German webzine aero.de misinterpreted this as being as A320F or A321F pilots and ded...

Why would AA come to BRU with only one route to a smaller destination like PHL? In the past, they also flew to BRU from JFK and ORD.

I don't think the runway is blocked by the unions: business aircraft are taking off and landing. Of course, their terminal is on the opposite side of the airport compared to the passenger terminal.

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal

There is nothing wrong in having a spare aircraft. This does not mean 1 non working aircraft, but optimising rotations, as critical mass of the fleet is achieved. Depends what you mean by "optimizing rotation." If it is keeping an aircraft idle and ready to fly every morning, that's a hot...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2024

Any idea which aircraft will get this livery? I think OO-SBC, OO-SBD or OO-SBE Those are brand new paintjobs, so I actually already excluded those. For me, the candidates are: OO-SNB OO-SNJ OO-SNK OO-SNM OO-SNN OO-SNN with its Eurowings livery is long overdue! My favourite for the new iconic livery.
