Is any aircraft AOG? That flight was delayed >5 hours and generally TB had lots of delays yesterday

737MAX rings a bell?

Well I thought that they somehow resolved this by getting all the white planes from Smartlynx etc.

Don't think so. I just received a notification that my flight to Palermo at the end of June is being rescheduled. I leave at 6am now instead of around noon, and instead of a direct flight, we will make a stopover in Naples.

737MAX troubles was the first that came to my mind as the reason for this...

It seems so. I guess spotting-wise this is going to be an interesting summer but passenger-wise not so much.

The availability of 320/737 should be so scarce that airlines were not able to recover from the MAX disaster. If I find time I will try to do a mapping of how airlines handled that (wetleasing etc.)

There is one all white A320, with red TUI titles and the red TUI smile on its tail AOG in front of the satellite building.

I didn't know the E190 had the legs to do BRU-TFS non-stop?
Also, just 15 minutes turnaround time in TFS seems very short, no?

My guess, a very uneducated one, is that those are "placeholders" to be filled in with 737NG or 737MAX when they have a schedule for the return to service of the MAX.
I don't see them operating the E-Jet to TFS, certainly not profitably.
