Seen here about to land on runway 09L on the first of a short series of substitutions by British Airways on their Heathrow-Cairo route due to continuing Trent engine problems with their B789s. The aircraft then moved onto Abu Dhabi services and was still operating that route at the end of October 2018. Flying their first schedules in March 2018 to Hong Kong from Charleroi, Air Belgium have four A340s but this route was operated only briefly before suspension. Although the intention to fly to three mainland China destinations was announced, they now intend concentrating on charters.
