When VEX in Brussels Airlines colours?

For OO-VEG: spotters have to be fast to get it in Virgin colors and with winglets. Should enter service to & from Valencia on the 26th.

Nevertheless, they are the first aircraft to be repainted in the new Brussels Airlines livery. Can anybody explain me how the order of repainting is determined? Does it have something to do with B-, C- or D-checks?

Nope

Has to do with which airplane they can miss for a week.... (taking schedule into account)

I guess OO-VEN must be ready... Anyone has seen the bird already? I'm curious to see the result on OO-VEG!

It arrived on November 27 and went operational the next day.

I saw it yesterday when leaving for Prague. It looks strange at distance and better on the 737-400. But that is only at first sight.

to PRG ? Virgin 737's usually don't fly to PRG.

ok understood, you guys went to PRG...

I saw the VEN also yesterdayevening at B-pier probably for a GVA flight the next morning.

Ever seen a B763 in the new Brussels brand, somebody did a very nice job :

Does anyone know if the wings are "white" on top just like the A319, avro and A330?

Any sign yet of the first Brussels Airlines 737 with winglets?

By the way, nailed her myself yesterday on approach to runway 25R.

Btw, notice they added a ball to their "B" logo on the latest 737's... 14 instead of 13, I guess you heard why...

Because of the superstition concerning the number 13 :

So the planes left with 13 are going to be "fitted" with an extra "ball" ?
