A view of the pier B. United 777, TUI 787 and Turkish Airlines A321.

Pier A is packed with European (Schengen) carriers. Today’s treat was a sight of Finnair A350-900 for the first time!

Our flight departs from the B gates and in a short while BRU’s busy schedule changes the lineup and hosts Icelandair 757 and Brussels Airlines A320 in special Magritte livery.

At the time the only 787 Dreamliner for TUI Belgium.
