In Het Laatste Nieuws, TUI told that there was a technical problem (brakes issue), and that the long delay is caused because it's quite difficult to get spare parts to Montego Bay.
TUI said that a new take off was planned for 14h local time on Thursday. But at this verry moment it's 17h local time, and no departure yet.

TUI fly Belgium to lease a B737-800 from AirExplore of Slovakia for the summer 2020 season.
Is that the one which will get the livery designed through a public competition?
Maybe. OM-HEX arrived at Brussels in the evening.
2 other aircraft being leased which arrived earlier today : YL-LCL and ES-SAS (as related by tangolima), ES-SAV is to join the Summer fleet as well from tomorrow.

OM-HEX is the only 737-800 in the new leased aircraft, and the TUI competition was especially aiming at this type of aircraft.
TUI fly Belgium is currently leasing:
AirExplore Boeing 737-81Q OM-HEX
SmartLynx Airbus A320-214 YL-LCL
SmartLynx Airbus A320-214 ES-SAV
SmartLynx Airbus A320-214 ES-SAK
SmartLynx Airbus A320-214 ES-SAO (CRL based)
SmartLynx Airbus A320-232 YL-LCP
The above article says that the 787 continued from Bonaire to Curacao, and that a replacement 767-300 from TUI Belgium has been sent from Amsterdam to Curacao. Seems to be not OO-JNL?

Our article also said that the 787 continued from Bonaire to Curaçao and that the passengers were rebooked on another flight to Amsterdam. But I was not aware it was on another TUI aircraft.
OM-FEX to fly for TUI, maybe for a while, still from AirExplore.
And now TUI fly Belgium unveiled the 2 finalists of its contest... Creatures and birds...

Many are complaining, including me because there were better draws or Photoshops. I'm disappointed. Mine was a draw, highlighting the summer holidays.
