Farewell Avro, you will be missed...

15 years ago it was an Avro that performed our very first flight. On 28 October 2017 our OO-DWD flew the very last commercial Avro flight for us... Brussels Airlines will miss you, Jumbolino!

Dad:

Why are you crying so damn loud?

I remember flying in that plane when I was 6 and now I am 14 and I want to cry

Letting planes go can be like putting down or dealing with the death of a pet, it is sad.

That feeling might not be much but for airlines having that plane fly for quite some time is sad to see them retiring them

true beauty
it hit me the same as klms 747

I always wanted to fly with a avrorj100 but never did

Built in 1998 - still a relatively young airframe when retired, but the decision was most likely due to the fact it was a regional jet with 4 engines and the fuel and maintenance costs were no longer sustainable for this class of aircraft.

Having flown this plane 4 times before to visit family in Canada via Brussels when I was living in France, this is truly amazing! Thank you Brussels Airlines for all the memories you created on-board this aircraft ❤️

I will miss the little Avro. It was a very versatile plane and could do almost any trips. It handled well in bad weather and didn't let the Swiss Alps slow it down either. I also loved that it looked like a plane out of a cartoon like Disney's "Cars."

Concorde: so how dose it feel to retire after so much?

Avro: it feels.. Sad..but swiss airlines will allways be my home

[tagdomujin]

Even though i never went and rode to this plane, it really hurts just seeing this one plane go...

A plane being let go is like a death of a loved pet, really.

regrettably I never flew in this beautiful bird :(...

I'm now ten, I remember flying w that in somewhere in Switzerland, Absolutely love that plane❤️

Great video and thanks for having me on the last commercial rotation as a passenger! It was a great experience!

[GlennDavey]

I love Avros so much. I can't believe planes eventually just... aren't used anymore. They're beautiful designs.

This plane brings me so many nostalgic memories from when I grew up, flying back and forth between Asia and Europe with my parents even at the age of three I could recognise the distinct design of the remarkable quad engined, over wing, tail opening marvel. It is a sincere shame to see it go, it will not be forgotten.

I spent 15 years working in this programme eventually heading up the procurement team who bought all of the major equipment for this aircraft and its derivative the RJX ( which was subsequently cancelled in 2002) . There probably isn't a part on this aircraft that I don't know who supplied it, even all these years later!
Happy days!

I spent such a large portion of my childhood flying on these planes,
It actually brought tears to my eyes... :(

[badgerman]

I remember flying on it with CityJet a few times. Such a unique and remarkable aircraft. I even got to see the cockpit and talk with the captains

[Justarandomytmemechannel]

Goodbye Avro, you served Brussels airlines with dignity. We salute you. Love from America. 🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡

This is six years ago and it’s still heartbreaking! :(
