Bluewings and the A332

Airliner_World · Post by **Airliner_World** » 10 Jan 2006, 00:00

I understand that Bluewings took on three Airbus A330-200 aircraft but have never used them and are currently stored at CGN. Is this true and where did they lease the aircraft from?

D-AXEL was previously D-AIMA with LH (and before that HB-IQL with Swissair, Novelair and Flightlease)

D-ARND was previously D-AIMB with LH (and before that HB-IQM with Swissair)

D-ARNO was previously D-AIMC with LH (and before that HB-IQN with Swissair)

I guess that Bluewings has not taken up (ntu) the planes and so they went back to lessor...

Trust me, you do NOT want to see SN fly with D-ARND 8O 8O 8O
It's an total outrage that BlueWings let this plane so pine away, it's now stored for over a year...

I think it's such ashame that they're still on the ground ...
I wonder what the future will bring for those 3 A330s.

- go to another airline
- stand there for some other years
- or being scraped ...

Regards Tim

Ow and btw ... a paintjob and a mechanic can do allot
soo if one day SNBA can afford another 330 there they are ...

All most be going to TAP.....If these are ILFC A330 they are for sure heading to TAP!

SN Bigbirdy, take a look at Sn's A330's before making such a statement. Luckily, starting march the interior will be renewed

Surely the weather did not help in that picture, BTW, i agree with burner737 that planes can look really better after a new paintjob and a tour to the mecanic! still, very sad to see that plane stored there!

What is the registration of this bird now ?

AntonioJoseAvelar · Post by **AntonioJoseAvelar** » 10 Mar 2006, 22:11

CS-TOF

The next to arrive in late March is CS-TOE and the one coming in April is CS-TOG. This 1st one will be named "Infante D. Henrique".

Any chance to see it at BRU too then during the summer season ?

Don't think so...

Just landed!

Are they going to operate on the LIS-FNC route? to replace the older A310s?

Hi!

I don't think they will in the first phase, with these three. The shedulled routes for CS-TOE and TOF are ORY, FOR and SSA. CS-TOG has not programmed flights so far.

When the A332 start arriving directly from Toulouse, the CCS service will certainly be upgraded to the new equipment, but for now, I'm guessing they will fly the A330's mainly to Northeastern Brazil and EWR.
