A significant visit by the Belgian Royal family to Chile faced disruptions due to technical issues with a HiFly Airbus A340-300. The visit, which took place in late June, attracted attention in Belgium as the Portuguese wet-lease company HiFly provided what was described as a subpar service.

The Belgian government has expressed dissatisfaction with the situation. The aircraft experienced multiple technical difficulties, affecting the royal visit's schedule and execution.

The incident has led Belgium to consider legal action against HiFly for failing to meet expected service standards during this important diplomatic event.
