It will keep the Swiss registration for the moment. They will dry lease it from Swiss.
(Brussels Airlines pilots will fly it)
After the cabins of the FV,FW,FM,FN and FO are changed then they will change this machine
and lease it from a leasing company.

This A330, HB-IQA will be in Brussels for SN the next month. (begin october). HB-IQC will be the second.Begin next year? IQA will be reconfigured ( cabin ) after all the others ( FV,FW,FO,FM,FN ) have been reconfigured.

I was told that 2 A320's will come from Air Berlin.

OO-SFV is expected to arrive today ( 28th ) at 16.00 zulu. That was according plan yesterday ( 27th ), if the testflights went well.............

It's MSN 082 , ex Air Madrid ( EC-JTB) and flew till april 2006 with LTU.
It is a charter configuration and has about 350 seats.
Very small Galley's and no overheadbins in the middle. Also no construction to simply hang new ones. So they have to open the ceiling and make the construction. So its ...

The cause of the return to BRU was not a birdstike or flameout but an engine stall. This causes flames too. The engine was never shut down but you have to take power back to try to get rid off the stall.
