Buy Air Belgium with Alternative Airlines

Air Belgium is a Belgian airline, based at Brussels South Charleroi Airport. Operations commenced in June 2018, with intentions to link Belgium to mainland China.

On 29 March 2018, the airline flew its first service by operating its Airbus A340-300, on behalf of Suriname Airways, from Amsterdam to Paramarib. The airline then started operating a scheduled service between Charleroi and Hong Kong. This service was suspended over the winter of 2018; the plan was to re-commence by March 2019, however, Air-Belgium announced that the route has been terminated. Instead, the airline is working towards new services to mainland China in mid-2019, and to the Americas in late 2019 or early 2020.

Air Belgium prides itself on offering enjoyable and affordable flights, through their dedicated team.
