BM currently operate flights from BRU to HAJ, NTE and SXB on behalf of SN. I have checked and all flights to these destinations are now showing as being operated by a RJ85, as is the BM BRU to NUE. Does BM’s lease agreement end at the end of the W18 schedule?.
Brussels have told CityJet that they are wanting to give back the SSJ100s soon as they are just riddled with issues meaning that they will need to find a replacement within their fleet (reported widely as a CRJ900 but that will be impossible at this stage due to the SAS lease contract.) Its also a BRU based airframe that operates BRS-BRU at the moment so this could be a wider consolidation operators being carried out by Brussels.
