[redcap]

The OO-VAC ( SLR's new 737-800 ) is grounded at PFO ( Paphos , Greece ) with technical problems . Crew and passengers are sent to a hotel , cause they are waiting for a replacement piece sent from Bru .

No idea what the problem is ... any info is welcome .

The plane is now scheduled to arrive at 07.10 LT tomorrow ( 25 sept )

That is not a good start for a new aircraft. If this is the beginning of a new aircraft it could be a nightmare of an aircraft.

This is very bad !!! If you buy an aircraft, you do thrust the airplane maker to give you a good aircraft ! It is a shame that an aircraft wich is in service for only a few days allready has technical problems !

:shoot: BOEING, SHAME ON YOU !!!!!!! :pang:

call it ,, child-problems ,, . . . . . .

I remember with Constellation Int'l Airlines (do you remember this airline?) that after 1 day of operation with a brand new A320 aircraft (CIN was the first airline in the BeNeLux to operate the A320 and even some SN-pilots (under them also the VP-Flight Operations) have been line-trained by CIN), an engine change was already required. Lucky it happened at BRU.
Afterwards the aircraft operated without any further problems.

Needless to say that I am also interested to know the reason why the OO-VAC is grounded AOG.

At least the plane is still covered by warranty
Do you think Boeing will have to pay something to Sobelair for the inconvenience
Personally I think it's more of bad luck or faulty construction. The future will tell, or most propbably one of you guys

The OO-VAC ( SLR's new 737-800 ) is grounded at PFO ( Paphos , Greece ) with technical problems.

Wouldn't Paphos rather be on Cyprus?

But the problem could be totally independent from the plane itself: an encounter with birds, for example.

Has the plane finally come back to BRU? I didn't see anything on the BIAC website this morning.

I guess he meant Greek side of Cyprus

Yes, it is parked before hangar 40/41, with its engines open.

But if it's an engine problem than it's not Boeings fault...

Will it be able to fly SLR8425 at 13:00 to Sharm El Sheik via Luxor?

Well André, according to my info oo-vas will fly those destinations, this aircraft is now parked @ the old terminal buiding.

Probable next flight of oo-vac tomorrow etd 1040 as SLR6571 to CFU/ZTH.
