And OO-SSQ will arrive this week on friday where it will go into hanger 117 untill +- 20/02.

Any idea what time this bird will arrive? I might go and watch it land.

New A319 for SN, ex Mexicana :

I'm surprised not to see a Star Alliance sticker on that jet, is it added later in Brussels? I haven't really paid attention to this, does SN's fleet sport the Star Alliance logo?

Yes, they do, as you can see here http://www.planespotters.net/Aviation_P ... ?id=162874 or here http://www.planespotters.net/Aviation_P ... ?id=145953 for example. So I guess it is indeed just a sticker which will be added once the plane is in Brussels.

[Airbus A330]

Just a short message to say that I saw OO-SSM flying in full SN colours on Monday !

Sorry if it is off-topic.

Info apparently OO-DJK will go into C-check next month march for face out of the aircraft.

all 319's are repainted into the brussels airlines livery, at the moment the 330's are beeing done.

correct, to be done in BCM

[diminbru]

If I'm not mistaken, there will be two additional A319's joining the fleet (in addition to SSQ and SSR)
Any details when they will arrive or where they will come from?

I flew in from KGL on a freshly painted 330 (OO-SFN) today.

Not that I know of... Only 2 A320's (OO-SNA and OO-SNB, both Air Berlin).

he's right though another 2 319's coming aswell this year.

[sdbelgium]

I don't know that, when was this communicated or is this a new 'fact'?

Already quite some time ago SN said 4 A319's would replace Avro's during 2011, together with two A320's.
Searched an article were it's mentionned (in Dutch):
http://www.tijd.be/nieuws/archief/Lange ... 20Airlines (12 oktober 2010)

Op het Europese netwerk komen volgend jaar vier extra Airbus A319’s in de vloot. Allicht verdwijnen dan vier Avro’s, maar dat is nog niet zeker. Zoals steeds huurt Brussels Airlines die vliegtuigen.

[dsa330]

indeed, i think one of the 2 has been identified already aswell. at least i only know of one

hmm curious where it will come from

[Ricard]

Does anybody know if the 320's that will be added, have any kind of IFE ( airshow ), latest 319's OO-SSC and OO-SSD haven't.

Those who have been wondering how on earth SN is going to fill the extra capacity from swapping RJs for A319s, here's the first result of the LH promoted more agressive sales tactics, which last year yielded great results at OS too:
