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.
