New Belgian airline to be started: TUI Airlines Belgium

The greenish colour is primer (except for composites parts). If they want a metallic looking scheme, either they’ll strip it, ans put a clear varnish, or they paint a metallic looking colour.

Is the bare metal still possible? I tought the new materials are greenish. AA have a 757 painted in the 60ies livery.

Good news.
I wish they will spawn a nice c/s.

I doubt it. Count on that awful light blue. Lots of colorful schemes have disappeared in the past years, everything gets uniform again. Now they should think to let the bottom of their planes in bare metal, the top in white, and ass a single color line across the fuselage, like in the 1970’s… Dull.

Een nieuwe luchtvaartmaatschappij is geboren

do 18/03/04 – Op de luchthaven van Zaventem is een nieuwe luchtvaartmaatschappij boven de doopvont gehouden. TUI Airlines Belgium zal voor rekening van de touroperator Jet Air vliegen met zes eigen vliegtuigen. De nieuwe maatschappij heeft 300 mensen in dienst genomen.

TUI Airlines Belgium zal per jaar zo’n 800.000 vakantiegangers voor rekening van Jet Air naar hun vakantiebestemming brengen. De nieuwe maatschappij is voor 100% een Belgische onderneming.

Ze heeft ruim 300 mensen in dienst genomen, van wie zowat de helft afkomstig is van het failliete Sobelair.

TUI gaat vliegen met zes eigen toestellen en niet met twee, zoals eerder was aangekondigd. Met vijf Boeings zullen bestemmingen rond de Middellandse Zee worden aangevlogen; een zesde Boeing zal worden ingezet naar bestemmingen in de Caraïben. Tijdens de zomer worden er nog eens drie vliegtuigen gehuurd van een Spaanse chartermaatschappij.

A new airline is born

thu 18/03/04 – A new airline was announced today at the airport of Zaventem. TUI Airlines Belgium will operate for touroperator JetAir with its own six aircraft. The new airline employed 300 people.

TUI Airlines Belgium will fly 800.000 holidaytravelles anually for Jetair. The new airline is for 100% Belgian.

They employed more than 300 people, which includes more or less half of the employees of the bankrupt Sobelair.

TUI will fly with six own aircraft and not with two, like previously announced. Five Boeing 737’s (2x 738, 2x 734, 1x 733) will fly to the area around the Mediterannean sea. A sixth 763 will fly to destinations in the Carribean area. Three aircraft will be leased during the peak summer period, owned by a Spanish charter airline.

Looking for an update now, expect one soon. The news is just released, there are no articles yet.

Good news.
I wish they will spawn a nice c/s.

So this will probably be the new Sobelair? Will they be using former Sobelair aircraft?
