Kagame put an A330 for sale on eBay.
Mint condition, stewardesses included.

Poor pax... why don't they put them on an Air Kenya or Rwandair Express to NBO and then a connecting flight to Europe iso keeping them in a hotel at KGL.

No if the national authority does not allow the plane to leave. The airport people could not do a thing even if they would like to...

I the end, I think jal is right. It's political...

What do you mean with that, regi?

De Standaard says that SNBA already hired three planes.

Could somebody give us an overview of these planes and the flights they did for snba?

All I can think of is:

B763 OO-TUC of TUB

B763 of EuroAtlantic maybe ?

And the third one ????

Poor SN, it's really not what they need. I really hope for them that the situation will quickly be solved.

SNBA will continue flying to KGL after this ?
Who knows if the next plane will not be grounded too....

Hi all,

On the way home from school, I saw flight SN 239 with destination
Freetown via Abidjan taking off from runway 07R around 15:27 local.
It was a B763 from Euro Atlantic (with the new billboard titles).

Someone has the reg of that bird, and his ETA back in BRU tomorrow ?

Thanks in advance,

Robin Bamps.

to flysndotcom:
it is just a remark about a very silly situation.
What is the legal status of a government of a country where they simply steal aircrafts?
In Kinshasha they did it on a smaller scale, they just hijacked the airport material handling equipment.
In Ruanda, they simply steal the aircraft.
Kagame is fully responsable for this. Things like this happen with his consent, approval or even on his orders.

V7 = Air Senegal International

They're code-sharing on the SNBA-flights from/to Dakar since a couple of months.

Still nobody with the reg of the MMZ opf SNBA today ?

we can only hope the belgian authorities will intervene in the financial cost this incident caused .. it would be only fair to do so since in the end it's most likely a pure political question and might probably have happened with any other belgian plane that happened to be there apparently at the wrong moment in time .. i think we can all agree that would be one of the few ways we like to see our tax money spend ..
