  • Comments: On Sunday 3 April 2016 Brussels Airlines operated the very first passenger flight at Brussels Airport in twelve days. The airport had been closed for almost two weeks after devastating terrorist attacks hit the terminal building and a metro station in Brussels. Flight SN1901 BRU-FAO took off from Brussels Airport’s RWY 25R at 13:43 CET and headed towards Faro, Portugal where it landed a few hours later. The flight was operated with Brussels Airlines A320-214 OO-SNC, wearing the magnificent Magritte livery to promote Belgium and its icons.

This is engine number 2, which is mounted on the right wing of the aircraft. The photo was taken on Monday 21 March 2016 during the special #SNMagritte event. This event was organised by Brussels Airlines and Foundation Magritte to unveil this unique flying piece of art, dedicated to the famous Belgian artist René Magritte. It is the second aircraft in a series of Brussels Airlines planes with a special design, inspired by Belgian icons. The plane, baptized Magritte, is a 37m long flying piece of art that has come to life thanks to a close cooperation between Brussels Airlines and the Foundation Magritte. The design of the aircraft was created by three young Belgian designers, working in the Brussels Airlines marketing team. The painting of the aircraft was realized by airbrush artist Andre Eisele, who previously had also worked on Rackham. The entire paint job took place in the painting facilities of Eirtech in Ostrava, Czech Republic.

In total, 32 innocent people were killed and more than 340 got injured.
