In a few days also a Brittania 763 will arrive at GPA Expressair (paintshop). They are very busy for the moment.
It's very nice to have a company like GPA (MAAS) @ MST, so we have nice, sometimes exotic visitors :dance:

Will all Britania planes get the new colours in MST or will the planes be painted in different places to gain some time :?:

Anyway, sounds like nice visitors to MST :P

Flight of Thomas Cook tomorrow (24/02) to Punta Cana & Varadero will be operated as HXL371 by a B767. This ICAO code is unknown to me, but i guess it will be a plane of Holland Exel.
The least we can say is that finally the TC traveller will have a more comfortable ride to the Caribbean & African destinations :) .

Hello Guys,

First B767-300 with Belgium Exel titles did leave EHBK today 23.02 at 1620 lt. Reg = PH-AHY. Another B767 (PH-AHQ) arrived for repainting.

Greetz,

Too white in my opinion, compare with ArubaExel and BonairExel.

I thought that there would have been much more colours on the fuselage !!! At least that's what the picture on VRT news showed a few days ago :roll:

Or could it be that this one is just a temporary paint, due to a lack of time for paintig the entire plane ??

SpottingEHBK,

the website shows this text: "The web site you are trying to access has exceeded its allocated data transfer."

Is it possible to upload the picture in the Aviation Picture-gallery or via the Picture Upload ?

News from Kanaal-Z:

Belgium Exel is negotiating with other tour operators for operating flights to upgrade the efficiency of the aircraft. They also are planning to put a Belgian registration on the aircraft.
