Tuifly Belgium has announced that flights to and from Antwerp will be temporarily relocated to Brussels due to significant delays in the delivery of critical spare parts for its Embraer E195-E2 aircraft. The airline operates three of these aircraft from Antwerp, which are regularly serviced to ensure the highest safety standards.
However, the global supply chain problems have led to delays of several months in the delivery of the required spare parts. Since Antwerp cannot accommodate larger aircraft from the Boeing fleet, Tuifly had to divert the affected flights to Brussels. Currently, none of the Embraer aircraft are operational, which makes it necessary to temporarily relocate the flights.
Tuifly is working closely with suppliers to procure the spare parts as quickly as possible. All flights scheduled up to October 6, 2024 will be diverted to Brussels and affected passengers will be informed directly.
