Update: It seems the B767 has a buyer in the USA for 12 million $

Isn't this the plane parked in front of the B Cargo B747? I saw it standing there last weekend.

It should be parked in front of Lufthansa Technics

Indeed, the 767 will be sold, as I wrote in another topic.
Source: a HBA pilot, wich means credibility: good.

Btw, thats why they made an agreement with Bru.Air a few days ago, to have the possibility to sell seats on some SN flights

Cheers

Perhaps a better plane to replace OO TUC

Update: The B732 of Hewa Bora has been scrapped last month.

It is stored in HWB technics hangar in Kinshasa with a defective landing gear.

What a strange idea for Hewa Bora to sell its B767. Would it not have been better for them to bring the aircraft into the newly created airline and use it for code share flights with b.air between FIH and BRU in order to increase flight frequencies to daily flights between BRU and FIH ? But if it's sold it's too late (too bad).

Hewa Bora will cease their operations between FIH and BRU. Brussels Airlines will be the only player on that route.

If it is correct that the B767 will be sold, then HBA can use the money, in the right way

ok, let's see the positive side of things.

Checking the time table of SN, you will notice BRU-FIH will become a daily flight from December.

5 flights per week will be SN flights, 2 will 'officially' be HBA flights with an SN codeshare on them, but ALL will be flown by SN A330s.

Expect an official announcement soon.

I had checked the timetable on b.air's web site, but it doesn't (yet) show daily flights in December. But you probably have more up to date and more reliable info. b.air's web site is never up to date and is close to a disaster (but that's another topic).
However, I don't understand how Hewa Bora will operate their own flights with an A330 if b.air's fourth A330 starts to fly for b.air as they seem to have announced. Did I understand correctly that this b.air aircraft is now operating flights for Hewa Bora, too, but will it continue to do so as from December ?

That's probably correct (didn't check it myself); but the booking engine definitely shows you daily flights in December and beyond...

Yes, you've understood that correctly: Hewa Bora currently leases an SN A330 once weekly to operate their BRU-FIH route, and as from December on, it seems they will increase again to 2 weekly flights, as allowed under the bilateral. Since there will be an SN codeshare on those 2 flights, there will thus be a daily SN flight to FIH as from then...

If you carefully check the fleet utilisation of the 4th A330 under the new winter schedule as published by SN so far, you will see it wasn't scheduled yet on 4 days out of the 7, so there is room to fly the new SN flights AND the 2 Hewa Bora flights... In fact, that still leaves the 4th plane unused 2 days per week, alhough that may change is some triangular flights are split.

They will keep the aircraft grounded on those 2 days I think. In the present schedule, this is what happens as well. Only 2 aircrafts are being used on days 2 and 3.
