Air Belgium to assist British Airways on long-haul sectors
British Airways has brought in assistance on another route as it seeks to cope with the continuing disruption caused by problems with its Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 engines. The carrier plans to use an Air Belgium Airbus A340-300 on its daily London Heathrow to Toronto Pearson service over the peak summer period, from June 9 to Aug 17. The same aircraft will serve the London Heathrow to New York Newark sector from April 1 to June 8. The aircraft will be supplied under a wet-lease arrangement. Air Belgium has, over recent months, also been brought in to operate British Airways services on the Abu Dhabi and Cairo routes. The assistance has been necessary as BA continues to carry out detailed precautionary inspections on Trent 1000 engines on some Boeing 787-9s. <br/>
