Brussels Airlines in 2026

A livery related to the Belgian astronaut candidate Raphaël Liégeois, i suppose.

That was my first thought as well, but the suits in a video I saw passing by are exactly the same as in Tintin, and there are 2 of them, which would also make more sense in the context of Tintin.

Exactly in my opinion it's going to be very beautiful.

I believe so. From the bottom till the middle of the fuselage the moon surface, in the background the earth. Kuifje, kapitein Haddock and the dog flying and in the whole tale the beautiful rocket.

That would be something.

No it is not. Why highlight Liégeois while Frimout has been way more popular?

Only if such a livery is confirmed with this specific topic, I would be glad to see a reference to the rocket. But I guess that a red-white livery would be absolutely terrible, only if the hypothesis gets confirmed.

Concerning OO-SNB, VRT writes that she will leave the fleet in 2027. So, for a year, we will have 2 Tintin 'icons'.

Was in the press release. Gravity should stay for 5 years, at least it is the goal.

Will another one follow for maintenance or maybe for repainting?

I know, but I'm saying this because I don't understand his question.

SFC seems still in Hong-Kong. No ferry flight yet scheduled. Probably a mistake in the scheduled flights to Dakar this saturday 14th.

When are SFD, SFF and SFG scheduled for repaint? Those three are last wearing the old livery

According to flightlevel.be, Algeria and Belgium made a new agreement for air traffic between the two countries (increasing possible flights). Now we have Air Algeria and TUI flying between the two countries.

Maybe SN can start a new market here? Would be nice to see them flying to these destinations.

Unfortunately Algeria isn't a touristic country (yet).
There were rumours to make visa more easy for foreigners, but since COVID nothing happened.
So I guess opening a route there, would be especially used by the people from Algerian descent.
Don't know how business between the two countries is.
