Thanks for finding the article!

GO LUCHTZAK

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

They are almost end of lease...
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.

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...

Any update on the arrival of the 2 additional A319's ?
On 02/08 they were still reported in Dublin in Brussels Airlines livery, wearing a UK registration :

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.

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?

Best regards,

DJK is in storage already

JL and JN first have to undergo a maintenance check (c-check + EOL check) after that they will be ferried to bucharest for storage.

According to Skyliner-aviation.de, DJO has been returned to the lessor and DJJ has left (or back in BRU) for paint in Korongo livery...
