Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal

[luchtzak]

We can now see some flights operated by cityjet, it looks like the cityjet aircrafts will come back at night in Brussels (no night stop abroad).

In the destinations, I saw some flights to Berlin (first flight of the day), Basel (afternoon flight), Genève (last flight), Bordeaux, Milan, Copenhague and Vienne (first flight).

Also regarding flightradar, OO-SFM went to Abu Dhabi on 3rd march and OO-SFO haven't flown for a while (why?)

And the very first flight ?

[crew1990]

The first flight to Geneve is on 26th march, Berlin on 27th, so it should be around that date.

What about Stockholm-Bromma? Can the A319 land there?

[cathay belgium]

Hi,

No A319 for BMA ... yet...

Will be the dedicated ARJ100 line for SN until the real end ???

( My BHX booking is switched also from ARJ100 to SSJ )

The SSJ isn't approved for Bromma yet.

BMA is the place where you should organise the Avro goodbye flight for avgeeks!

Strange, since Gothenburg, Milan (both) and Nice are now 100% on Airbus; and they won't be able to cover that whole list of 12 destinations with 3 SSJs!

What about Hannover, Nantes, Florence, Bremen, Nurenberg, Turin, Bristol, Basle, Strasbourg, Marseille? Still Avros (aren't they supposed to return some during the summer?) or wet-leased Flybe and bmi aircraft for all of them?
That's a total of 4 types of aircraft for "regional" flights on top of the 2 Airbus types!

SFO is also in Abu Dhabi since 3 weeks
SSC is stored during winter season

I thought 3 SSJ's were scheduled, but when I see the number of destinations, it looks like they will need more examples...
Are those destinations meant to be exclusively operated by the SSJ?
Or will it be a mix of SSJ and A319?

A mix.

From ch-aviation today:

As it stands, Brussels Airlines will deploy the first two Sukhoi Civil Aircraft twinjets into service from Brussels beginning March 26. One of the aircraft will serve Berlin Tegel, Basle/Mulhouse/Freiburg, CH, and Copenhagen Kastrup with the other taking care of Vienna and Geneva. Weekend operations will cover service to Prague, Nice, Venice Marco Polo, and Bologna.

Thereafter, the SuperJet will be gradually deployed on flights to Edinburgh, Milan Malpensa, Birmingham Int'l, Hamburg Helmut Schmidt, Kraków, Bordeaux, Gothenburg Landvetter, Milan Linate, and Warsaw Chopin.

Thank you very much for this information! Will it take place @ the Diegem brussels airlines HQ? What can we expect from it? Is it an african network oriented board meeting only?
