But wasn't it written in the stars wasn't it when the lease-dates comes near their end ..
They did their job,now something more up-to-date ( altough I liked their seats - 300/400 series are really classic ones )

So the 3 737's leasing costs will pay for one 330...
The strategy goes as far as march 2012 and then the plan is to sghµé"§'!çetfi%*¨%%££%.?////..LM
Lets just hope this all goes well...

They are almost end of lease...diminbru wrote:airbuske wrote:I suppose OO-VEG, OO - VEP and OO- VEX?

It has nothing to do with the age but with the end of lease.
They will replace a part of the end of leases with A319/A320.
I suppose other A320 will be for next summer?
They are also looking for a turboprop because it uses less fuel.
They will reduce temporarily the medium haul fleet this winter.
I think they are suffering very hard from the high fuel prices.

Re: Replacement of SN's Avro RJ and B737 fleet
Yes I suppose they really suffer these high fuel prices. Their short haul fleet exists of 8 B737 Classic's and more than 20 Avro's. These are quit fuel consuming and they count for half the fleet...airbuske wrote: I think they are suffering very hard from the high fuel prices.

Re: Replacement of SN's Avro RJ and B737 fleet
In the orders and deliveries sheets of Airbus, Brussels Airlines is said to operate 9 A319 and 2 A320. They changed from 8 to 9 A319 in between early July and early August. Don't know when they put the numbers, but I think it is quite reliable.

Re: Replacement of SN's Avro RJ and B737 fleet
According to http://data.flight24.com/airplanes/oo-djn/ OO-DJN did a late TRN flight on August 9th, and afterwards did not fly anymore .
Since DJK & DJL are already stored, is this the next one already in storage?
