9W to MAA
 

Since BRU-MAA arrives23.30 do they turn around and fly back to BRU@0100?

yep, arrival 7.50 in BRU - excellent connection.

an hour is more than enough time for a turn around....you looking to do a quick mileage run????:D

aircraft turn around
 

No.I was curious.As the cabin gets dirty i was wondering how they can get it around so soon.I also was thinking may be they send it to SE asia once in a while but on checking their SIN andKUL are 737's.
I am doing JFK-MAA and 2nd legMAA-KUL and returning SIN-MAA [break] and then MAA-JFK-DTW .the long legs in premiere.

Digressing. They rotate planes on the EWR-BOM via BRU routing at least with the ones doing BOM-SIN. I remember confirming this from a conversation with the 9w staff at Mumbai airport. Earlier they used to also rotate with the planes going to HKG. Not sure how it works anymore with the BOM-HKG being switched to a B777

Your right, the MAA - SIN - MAA & MAA - KUL - MAA are all done on the 737. Decent loads pretty much year round. For a brief bit back in 2007 i think they ran the 330's on the MAA - SIN - MAA sector and much to the disappointment of it's biz class regulars changed back to the 737's in a short span of time.

There was a point in time when MAA was the 330 hub in late 2007 / early 2008 if I am not wrong.
Routings where MAA-SIN-BOM-SIN-MAA, MAA-KUL-MAA, MAA-BRU-YYZ-BRU-MAA. There'd be a 330 parked here all day and the gorgeous birds could be seen going in and out. The MAA-KUL-MAA aircraft was even supposed to be used during the day to fly MAA-DXB-MAA. This was back when BOM and DEL transatlantic flights were 77W's.

Now all 330's do a tight turnaround from BRU, MAA being the shortest. The only real down time the aircraft get is the 6 hour layover at EWR, JFK & YYZ.

On the 77W front...
BOM-LHR-BOM uses 2 aircraft
DEL-LHR-DEL uses 1 (they rotate to service aircraft on TUES/WEDS hence operating 330 from DEL).

4 77W were with TK, 3 with TG. Now TG has taken 2 of the 4 TK aircrafts.

Of the 2 returned 77W's, 1 is back and flying BOM-HKG-BOM (mainly due to high profitable cargo loads). 1 returns in October and will fly BOM-EWR-BOM twice a week, and DEL-LHR on the other two days - so now new 77W routes in the foreseable future. Although, I wonder how HKG will do given CX's failed 74A service on that route a few years ago.

Good sight indeed, remember seeing the Jet 330 parked on the tarmac during the day as you mentioned.

Don't see any change on the MAA - KUL route as jet also code-share with MAS on this route, who run a daily on this route with a 330.
