Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
It will be a wet lease indeed but still will give more flexibility in ops without taking too much risk
Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
Meanwhile, OO-SNA made its final flight today...

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
They are really slow at repainting their A330s... The new livery was introduced about 1 year ago... and only 2 A330 are repainted, right?BigJets wrote: ↑26 Oct 2022, 16:09Finally, what an improvement to the hybrid Cathay, as if a new aircraft has just joined the fleet. Now to repaint the Eurowings aircraft A.S.A.P.. Thanks for the link lenain258
Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
Indeed ...
See for those that are being repainted and those that are in maintenance (type of maintenance - A, B, C ... not indicated though):
https://sites.google.com/view/europeanairlinefleets/bel
For those that do not have enough patience ( ): you should take into account they needed all the planes in summer time.
Moreover, maintenance and repainting is usually more focused in winter time (if possible of course). Also I think they maintain and repaint according to a more or less fixed scheme (after x years a plane needs to be repainted anyway, etc.). So it not just a question of doing it as soon as possible.
See also the other airlines of the LH-group in the same site ...
Just my two cents,
Danny

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
So finally the first batch of A320neo will be delivered to SN as well?

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
Yes A320neo are joining in 2023 but there will be 2 aircrafts under 100pax on wetlease too.
Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
This was long overdue for thinner routes, like formerly with wet-leases from CityJet (SSJ100), Flybe (Dash 8-400) and bmi (ERJ145). Could it be CityJet, which has currently 19 CRJ-900s (outfitted with 90 seats), of which only a part is operating for SAS?

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
Will we see Nantes, Hannover, Billund and Nuremberg come back then?
Would be nice to see more of these destinations.
Also, now that Blue Air doesn't fly anymore, why doesn't SN open a route to Bucharest?

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
SN has shown a small preview of the new 'Trident' on social media...

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
Oops, JCDecaux revealed the livery too early!
Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
Ok, lol
Small note: "we fly you to the home of the Belgian Red Devils & Red Flames" is a very long text!
I've always wondered why they didn't go for the simpler (and easier to read) "Flying to the home of Tintin/Tomorrowland/..."
Anyway, it's nice to see the tail logo/dots with a dark background. Will the other icon-liveries get an update aswel?

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
OO-SFJ seems to have problems getting home... AMM BRU canceled on November 7 and then November 10...

I'm sure this would be the explanation of the marketing agency Still, doesn't sound good to me.TLspotting wrote: ↑09 Nov 2022, 20:40

Ah, the perfect compromise
Is it repainted?
