Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal

[viennafly]

Are any more of the old A330 scheduled to leave the fleet soon besides SFN?

[KriVa]

SFM and SFO should be leaving relatively soon, but I have no clue as to the exact dates.

SFN - 31.10.18
SFM - 30.12.18
SFO - 28.02.19
SFY - 30.04.19
SFV - 31.05.19
SFW - 30.09.19
SFU - 31.03.20

Us usual this is preliminary and subject to change.

What about SFT and SFZ? There seems to be no replacement provided for them at this moment since only 7 "new" planes have been announced (besides SFX which is "new" too). Fleet downsizing?

OO-SFT Airbus A330-223 entered the SN fleet recently on 31/01/2017 from WK. Age 19,3 years.

OO-SFZ Airbus A330-223 entered the SN fleet on 19/03/2012 from LX. Age 19,9 years.

These birds are the last two A330-200 remaining in the fleet.
Probably that their relatively recent entry into the fleet also states that they will stay into it for a while.

SFO seems to be at the holding point for a positioning flight to DUS, any idea as to the reason why?
C-Check?

OO-SFE is prepared for action!

And a busy parking apron including ... 5 Sukhoi's

To me, this looks more like OO-SFE is prepared for a (temporary?) storage...
Or am I wrong?

You mean because of the cabin windows being tapped? As well as the flight deck window N°3.

BTW, isn't it the first time at SN that the A/C reg on the nose is abbreviated to two (2) letters instead of the usual single?

Yes, that's the reason why I suppose this.

regarding the reg on the nose, they did the same on the A320's with 2 letters and some A319's even have 3 on the nose gear door (SSW had it for sure)

SFE is indeed the next one to be activated but only when SFM / O are being withdrawn from the fleet
