Today. But the GAF data is wrong: 15+04 is NOT a C-130, but an A321ceo.

This week I was for the first time on one of the leased A222-300 of Air Baltic ... Nice experience, very professional crew, announcements (recorded) also in French and Dutch (véry Dutch :D ).

Cheers,

Indeed, my experience with BT wetlease flights is always a pleasant one. My only ...

I am not so sure all this will happen..Don't forget the objections from neighbours and other groups..On another subject, nobody thought about our spotting community...Nothing foreseen......Where are the good times when terraces where here, and now more and more foreign airports are helping this ...

Belgium in a nutshell. I would have been surprised if this one went down without small-minded regionalist tantrums...

I think we are not far away from each other
Neither do I think. I just merely clarified/corrected some historical facts.

- with tiny routes i was thinking of useless approaches eg flying into Baia Mare or not fucntioning JV's eg, not being able to fill together an AT42 on various regional ...

I usually agree with your analyses and find them well-reasoned - however, I have to correct some factual (historical) errors:
In the trial to build a national champion they acquired the already struggling Lauda Air , a company focused more on long haul leisure at that time (the 767 and 777 long ...

No matter who would get them, that brand has the chance of getting 40 brand new aircraft over 5 years. Additional upscaling of the order not considered.

Likely a decison would be taken in May 2025 just before the Annual General Meeting.

In other words: we will have to keep looking into the ...

Not really.
Typically not dedicated fleet is allocated 2 years in advance - so as an educated guess there would be a decision for 2026/27 max.

As approx 3/year are already planned for Swiss and Austrian shall become replacement for it's own six A321, if staying with Airbus. So around 5-7 ...

And it seems that the dumping of the Dash-8 "paid off" so much that OS is wetleasing two ATR72 from Braathens for the season... ;)


Which means nothing.
SN using the CRJ from a wet-lease airline this summer doesn't mean they regret their small(er) jumbolino's...

Maybe not and they are in ...

And the last tutboprops of OS were exchanged with 6 A320. For them it seems to pay off.


Sorry to correct a factual error: the 6 A320 were not meant as a replacement for the Dash-8, but for the phasing out of the A319 sub-fleet. The Dash-8 routes are mainly flown by the E195 - which is also much ...

As Aviation24 reported yesterday , one of Austrian Airlines' A320neo aircraft sustained severe damage in a ground incident. The aircraft OE-LZQ (MSN 11467) returned from a flight to LHR as OS456 on the evening of 6 April 2024 and was subsequently towed to a remote parking position. According to ...

Like Lux_avi rightly pointed it out : how sure can you be that workers from ground staff to pilots at other airlines will not go on strike (even at Ryanair) ? Without even mentioning ATC (and not in Belgium only). Perhaps the best option is to go on holidays somewhere reachable by car ?


Workers ...

.... and as expected the strike will go ahead.

I think I'll book my summer trip to Spain with Iberia or Vueling. I want peace of mind without the constant threat of strikes with SN. (it's really disastrous for their image but they don't seem to care, so be it)


Exactly. Now now it goes about ...

Austrian's first pair of Dreamliners to appear soon

Austrian Airlines is expecting its first Dreamliner to touch down at its homebase in the coming days. The aircraft, a former Bamboo Airways B787-9and currently stored in Tarbes, is already wearing its new registry OE-LPM and is due to be ferried ...

Austrian to receive its first two Dreamliners in 2024, plans first transatlantic routes with new type

The process of transforming Austrian's longhaul fleet from the ageing B767/777 fleet to a new single-type one is taking shape: Contrary to initial plans, the new fleet should consist of 11 Boeing ...

Any news on OO-SBC? I'm under the impression deliveries at SN seem to take longer than other airlines, but for sure I'm not an expert and probably wrong.

It was spotted end of January at TLS, already painted in the new "measles" livery of SN, however still wearing the test registration F-WWBP ...

A journalist from Brazzanews reports that "a source" told him that ECair's HB-JJE (Privatair 757-200) will soon take the sky:

I call that rumor "BS": the aircraft mentioned is certainly NOT the HB-JJE, as they would need to fly in those ...

Indeed, the aircraft will be painted at a point later this year at BTS.

Self-declared "civil disobedience movement" Code Rouge is planning disruptions at airports in Belgium between 15-17 December 2023, probably peaking on 17 December. It's one of the groups showing little respect to laws, regulations, foreign property or aviation safety, recklessly pushing their agenda ...

Aviation24.be will be on-site to cover the event.


Will Aviation24.be also provide information about the timing so that others will get the chance of catching the new plane as well?


Flightradar24 will do, no worry


LOL. It's just that FR24 and Brussels Airport's Instagram quite ...
