Well, reality has dawned, and it's now tentatively 2026.

It's the seat I said, CL6720. First retrofit will by 2026... that's right two-three years away. By then, who knows if LOT will have been acquired and fly to anything more than JFK and ORD?

So the Air Belgium charter has absolutely nothing to do with this, more like heavy maintenance, I'm sure LOTAMS will do a superb job.

With such a long, long lead time, they desperately need to fix the broken seats they have on the current seats. A number of aircraft have seats blocked for sale, i.e. capacity is lowered.
