Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal

[shockcooling]

Indeed, seems the BHX and MAN nightstops are gone for SN, same for LYS and PRG.
No wonder with outsourcing, SN is having too many pilots...sad though...

According to Airline routes, the following routes will be operated with Bombardier turboprop Q400:

Operated by Tyrolean/Austrian arrows

Brussels – Manchester
Brussels – Prague
Brussels – Strasbourg

Already mentioned on the previous page

With a list of routes, you don't know much.

Not all flights of these routes will be flown with the Q400 however ...

After all: the previous Q400 (on the Hannover route) + these two + eventually some additional Q400 ... are all in all marginal in the overall fleet.

Nevertheless, I would be happy to fly one sooner or later

Some remarks:
2 more q400 can be expected to replace the smaller BDregional E-jets in a later stage on BRS and NCL.
Note the absence of TLS after AF pulled away from opening a daily flight to BRU, hence one BE Q400 less on wet lease than first expected for this summer (2 iso 3)
First plane in paint shop in EMA right now according to some sources at BE.
Sadly no code share between BE an SN, which is a pitty IMHO, as it means they remain competitors on MAN (SN ironically with a wet leased BE plane, lol)

[convair]

It looks to me you need at least 3 a/c to operate the above schedule!

[DannyVDB]

That's chat they will have: the 2 from Flybe and the one already in operation ...

Luckily, the competition occurs on the same time of plane, the Q400. It would have been strange to see Flybe using an E175 for its own flights and a Q400 for the SN flights.

Don't know if they have been posted already, but here are a few pictures of ex-SN RJ85s stored at SEN.

According to airfleets.net, OO-DJQ is stored as G-CHDO. Why hasn't the registration been changed on the plane?

This happens a lot with stored aircraft. Since they are not flying, what's the point? When the aircraft are sold or leased to another operator, a new registration will have to be applied anyway.

Apparantly VEP left for Dubai as BEL9901 on the 25th of March and to Singapore as BEL9903 yesterday...exit OO-VEP???

[airbuske]

Normally OO-MJE left BRU as SN9905 to NSI.

[tolipanebas]

The first Korongo ferry flight: maybe you should post this in the Korongo topic too?

[airbuske]

Is there someone who knows when OO-SSN , OO-SND & OO-SNC will arrive in BRU?

[RoMax]

According to Skyliner:
- Delivery 28 March IST-BRU: OO-SNC, ex- D-ALTH (Air Berlin), A320-214

Normally OO-MJE left BRU as SN9905 to NSI.

And about OO-MJE they mention delivery on 27 March: BRU-ALG-FIH.

[convair]

Just saw on Skyliner: OO-SND delivered to BRU today. No news so far of OO-SSN.

[Inquirer]

That is funny: it was delivered at BRU right while talking about it in another topic.

So that makes 4 A320s now in total, right?

In the korongo topic, tolipanebas mentioned this:

OO-MJE arrived at FBM yesterday evening, after a flight BRU - ALG - TMR - KAN - NSI - BZV - FBM.

Given he seems to be a very accurate source normally, I suppose skyliner got it only half right, Mr_Boeing?

SNC has been registered on the 30th of March, nothing for SND yet...
