Vuelopedia is a work in progress: it currently holds about 30% of the information we expect to have by the third quarter of 2027. Although we use only official, highly reliable sources, some aircraft data and history may still contain errors or inaccuracies. We work hard to clear every anomaly from the records using specialized verification tools.

What happened
The aircraft, a Hellas Jet A320 leased to Volare, was undergoing maintenance in Sabena Technics' Hangar 40 at Brussels Airport when, shortly after midnight on the night of 4 to 5 May 2006, a fire broke out that eventually brought the hangar down. According to Sabena Technics, all four aircraft inside were destroyed: this A320 (SX-BVB), two Armenian A320s —Armavia's (EK-32010) and Armenian International Airways' (EK-32001)— and a Belgian Air Force C-130 (CH-02). Nobody was on board; four people on the ground were injured, one of them seriously. No official finding on the origin of the fire has been located.
