1st A330-900 for Air Belgium painted

The first of two A330-900s for Air Belgium has been rolled-out of the paint shop at Toulouse on 11 August. And it looks lovely! The aircraft involved is MSN 1861, which is currently registered as F-WWKQ and will become OO-ABG once delivered.

The Belgian airline announced in June it has decided to lease two A330-900s to replace its A340-300s. Both A330-900s (the other one being MSN 1844) were originally destined to go to RwandAir (and before that Air Berlin) but the African airline decided to cancel its lease-agreement.
