Or kerosene price/shortage?

Well. It’s quite simple. A turn radius is a function of bank angle and the speed^2. It’s got nothing to do with it being a 787 or an A350. They both would use around the same angle of bank for a departing turn (FDs typically initially limit 25 degrees of bank).

I agree, same for passenger comfort, very bad planes and in addition the curve after takeoff means that it flies over the centre of Brussels when turning to the left.


The curve after take-off??? :?: :?: :?:


Exactly, if you look closely after takeoff, Boeing 787s have a much wider ...

Massive expansion for Etihad in Africa for 2027 with new routes to Kinshasa, Lubumbashi, Harare, Accra and Amsara (for Nov26) :shock: . They will resume flights to Lagos.

We used to see here SN fans (like me) crying for more A333s.

For the time being, though, SN is only operating 8 l/h flights per day, including the 4 IAD flights/week whose return was once considered to be postponed to the 2027 Summer season!
Given that SFD is in HK for maintenance, this means that ...

And only for a very short time, 1 week.
No idea neither

On the EAF site it says Paint. We'll see...

Come back to Luanda!

Would mother Lufty let us?

It's not the first time SN is confronted with competition from the RDC and every time they survive.

All ready for a very busy SS26.

Any A333 repainting foreseen before SS26 gets into full swing?

Nice development for this dynamic belgian company!

OK, no problem; E had a 3 or 4 weeks MX at WOE in July apparently.

SFB was in HKG for 2 months in October and November. C-check?

2 flights to DSS yesterday: SN201 by SFH, and SN1201 by SFE. Special occasion?

Not "renewal" related, but still concerning the fleet: SFB has been in HK for more than 2 months now. Any hint on its return date?

OO-SFE was not deployed to Africa today. Even less to the US. The A330 was indeed carrying the Red Devils to Astana, Kazakhstan, a 7-hour trip.

Note that the return Saturday night will be to Liège Airport, since the next game of the Red Devils will be at Standard stadium.

I'm wondering what eqv HC will use:their complete fleet is allmost grounded all the time, they lease a 772 from MYWAY Georgie ( for CDG service)and have 3 A320leased from Getjet for regional services...Don't know if these can make it to BRU!


Indeed, it is an Airbus A320 that will operate the ...

That's what I proposed for years already that SN use the A321LR to Luanda for example but a lot of people where mocking me then.

World cycling championship perhaps.
