Polka-Dot Brussels...
It's fair to say that Brussels Airlines has seen some turbulent changes in the past couple of years, not mentioning the pandemic, the carrier was fully taken over by Lufthansa Group in 2017. Not least, the carrier has seen leadership change and branding changes; this livery being the most recent to be introduced which is certainly not as iconic as their previous colour scheme.
Brussels Airlines has in recent years became iconic for their beautifully designed special liveries adorned on their Airbus A320s; liveries that remain difficult to track down for myself! The previous colour scheme saw a light blue underbelly, transitioning to dark blue for the stabiliser... The most iconic part of the livery was the logo, a lowercase 'b' which is written using orange dots. After Lufthansa Group took full ownership of Brussels Airlines, the carrier was to be migrated into Eurowings which went down like a lead balloon!
The new livery is meh... The multi-coloured polka-dots doesn't really represent Brussels Airlines, being very similar in style to Croatia Airlines. This 2021 livery is here to stay as their Airbus A320 family aircraft plus Airbus A330s are slowly gaining this livery.
Currently, Brussels Airlines operates 31 Airbus A320 family aircraft, which includes 15 Airbus A319s and 16 Airbus A320s. Brussels Airlines have 3 Airbus A320neos on-order.
Sierra November India is one of 16 Airbus A320s in service with Brussels Airlines, delivered new to Eurofly on lease from GECAS as I-EEZF on 28th April 2003 then transferring over to Meridiana Fly on 28th February 2010, later going to Aer Lingus as EI-EZW on 10th April 2013 operating on lease to Virgin Atlantic for their Little Red services until 26th September 2015 going back to Aer Lingus for a short-period of time until withdrawal on 29th April 2017, later going over to Brussels Airlines on 16th June 2017 and now on lease from AerCap since November 2021. She is powered by 2 CFM International CFM56-5B4/P engines.
