About

Brussels Airlines is the national carrier of Belgium. The airline is based at Brussels Airport (BRU) and flies to destinations across Europe, Africa, North America and to parts of Asia. Overall, the airline flies to more than 120 destinations, making it Belgium's largest airline not only by destinations served but by passengers handled too.

The airline launched in 2005 after two existing Belgian airlines, SN Brussels Airlines and Virgin Express, merged to form Brussels Airlines. It's the third national airline in Belgium's history, after Sabena (1923–2001) and SN Brussels Airlines (2002–2006). In 2012, the airline made history when it became the first Belgian airline to fly to intercontinental flights to New York in 10 years.

Brussels Airlines is one of the subsidiary airlines of Lufthansa, along with Air Dolomiti, Austrian Airlines, Eurowings (and subsidiaries) and SWISS (and subsidiaries).
