Seemed like a sort of test flight ; came from / returned to ? BRU ?
Maybe a BRU local may confirm this ?

It departed to Bordeaux !

EI-DIP indeed

The EI-DIP regi points to a leasing company, so maybe not that awkward that all it flies around in our regions ...
even though it might be in the clrs of UAE airline...
It might be soon handed over, can't find any pics on the net of this particular aircraft.
