Nope, they have been sending them for about a week now IIRC. (Edit: looked it up and think first day of CO 777 ops into BRU was April 22nd)

Can add an Atlantic Airways BAe 146-200 operating for SAS again on the SK597 (ETA from CPH at 19.40).

Can we KE call a visitor? They fly scheduled cargo flights to BRU, so I would not call them a visitor although they reduced their capacity.

North-America routes:

So we will see tomorrow three B777: UA, CO and AA
Three B767: DL, AA and US
One B757: DL
One A310: TSC

And of course the three A330 of Jet Airways.

The Air Transat departure is delayed, and I saw the A310 3 times (and maybe missed it once or twice) lining up for landing.
Anybody knows why? I guess they had some test flights but i do not know why.

Thanks,

Also flight RJ261 from Amman is an upgrade with an A310 (according to Brussels Airport website).

[sdbelgium]

No upgrade, a fuel stop enroute AMM-JFK. Apparently the A340(s) are in heavy maintenance, therefore a 310 is being deployed, but it has to make a fuel stop. Terminator flights to BRU are RJ105/6.

[airtrotter]

you can't have enough A310s visiting ...well, before they'll all be gone.
this small widebody, one of my favorites. It was the first widebody I flew on, TUN-BRU, it was huge then

And a low level go aroud from a B747 cargo all white with blue tail around 11.50 local due to aborted take off of A330 on 25R

OK, thanks for the info. I knew this happened last week or 2 weeks ago too, but didn't know it was still the case

There was one flyby, one atempt to land and the third time it succeeded to land.
There was a problem with the left rear landing gear. There was a struth-bar broken that locks the gears.
This was confirmed to me by the 2 technicians flown in from canada, a delegation from airbus is expected on monday, first time ever it happened with an airbus a310.

Passengers were deboarded on rwy, one person on board suffered from an anxiety attack.

grtz,
