Mostly ERJ's, but today also A319 and even A320.

3 of 7 people on board did not survive the crash, others are in local hospitals.

In Amadeus' schedules, all 7 weekly flights are SN codeshared (as SN4114/5 opd HU491/2). But indeed, it is a shame it isn't mentioned anywhere in the press release.

I can follow b-west in his 'protectionism' thinking. I too find it strange that planes can fly to Portugal, but not to other "Western/European" counties e.g. Spain or France. It is the same plane, in the same condition. If it's safe for one country, than it's safe for all. Isn't that the g...

OO-JAP which was supposed to fly BRU-PUC today, is now assigned to BRU-LTN (departure 16u00 local). Some technical problems? And as said in this topic, JAF 523 is now to be operated by CS-TFT.

If they drop LGW-BRU, there will be NO connection between BRU and LHR by *A-carriers, except for the daily United flight (which doesn't offer a lot of frequency).

SN: "No plans to fly to Heathrow (yet)" (Dutch)

LGW is still loaded in the GDS, twice daily, even beyond 11 January.

Yes, 767-300 will substitute the 777-200 often. Thursday and Friday will be 763, coming week starting Saturday (for the moment) again 772. Reg today was N660UA.

Also OK-WGX as VPA9552 from PRG (landed around 2PM).

Should have been VT-JEB and VT-JEK.

They will keep one A330, but I don't know for what routes... Maybe Damascus or Riyadh, but I'm not sure.

And quoting bmi e-mail:

We will also be transferring our London Heathrow-Brussels service over to Brussels Airlines from 10 January 2010.

Does this mean SN will fly to LHR again?

Brussels Airlines A330 operations are heavily shaken... Thursday morning, there are two arrivals from Dakar, 1 A330 and 1 767. The flight from ABJ and ROB has a two hour delay.

bmi is to codeshare on extra Brussels Airlines operated flights. Following routes are involved:

• Barcelona
• Berlin Tegel
• Bilbao
• Bologna
• Geneva
• Hamburg
• Lyon
• Marseille
• Milan Malpensa
• Toulouse

Some Dutch also: http://www.flightlevel.be/412/crash-italian-c130.html

Will be CN-RNS.

According to the Aviation Herald: A Brussels Airlines Airbus A330-300, registration OO-SFN performing flight SN-359 from Kinshasa N'Djili (Democratic Republic of Congo) to Brussels (Belgium) with 125 passengers, had just about reached cruise flight, when the crew observed one of the engines exceedin...
