Last flight for Airbus A321 from Melsbroek base
The military airport of Melsbroek is preparing for the new normal at the end of 2020.
After the departure of the Embraer ERJ 135/145 aircraft on Wednesday, December 22, 2020,
it is today on the eve of Christmas for the Airbus A321 to perform its last training flight.
The tarmac of the 15 Wing Air Transport will therefore have fewer aircraft in 2021,
but that does not mean that there will be less activity.
On the contrary, the unit is in full transition and the fleet is undergoing a massive rejuvenation treatment.
This means a lot of extra work and new challenges for the employees of the 15Wing Luchttransport.
The Belgian Defense has leased the Airbus A321 with registration CS-TRJ
since 20 May 2014 from the Portuguese airline Hi Fly.
The lease with Hi Fly was initially foreseen for a period of 4 years
but was eventually extended twice with a definitive end on December 30, 2020.
After the last training flight the A321 will be stripped of its military equipment
and prepared for departure to its owner Hi Fly in Lisbon in Portugal.
