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

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.
