Brussels Airlines

Brussels Airlines is Belgium's national airline, connecting the capital of Europe to European, African and North American destinations. Brussels Airlines is one of the four Lufthansa Group network airlines (Austrian, Brussels Airlines, Lufthansa and Swiss) and part of Star Alliance since December 2009. The airline offers an excellent network for travel to, from and via its home base and Star Alliance hub at Brussels Airport. 

The history of Brussels Airlines dates back to 2002 when mother company SN Airholding was created by a group of about 40 investors.

The airline's IATA code SN is inherited from its predecessors, Sabena and SN Brussels Airlines. 

The company slogan is We go the extra smile.

The Brussels Airlines fleet is composed of 38 aircraft consisting of Airbus A330-300, Airbus A319, Airbus A320. 
The Airbus A330-300 is the biggest bird in the Brussels Airlines fleet and mainly operates flights to and from North America and the African continent. This twin-engine aircraft delivers high-quality comfort to all those on board and offers the latest-generation entertainment systems. Benefiting from continuous investment over the last decades, this iconic airliner remains Brussels Airlines’ top choice for long-distance flights.

Thanks to its no-compromise positioning, Brussels Airlines combines competitive all-flexible fares with the highest service quality. With yearly changing Belgian Star Chefs, its wide offer of Belgian food and drinks and the six Belgian Icons, Brussels Airlines is acting as a real ambassador of its country, bringing the world to Belgium and the best of Belgium to the world.

In view of the global coronavirus pandemic, Brussels Airlines has committed itself to the strictest health safety measures in aviation worldwide, following the recommendations of EASA (European Air Safety Agency). Since the outbreak of the coronavirus, the Belgian airline operates an adapted flight schedule that is based on market demand and that takes into account the travel restrictions of the different authorities.

Brussels Airlines offers cargo capacity on all its flights, commercialized by Lufthansa Cargo. The airline also handles the daily maintenance of its aircraft fleet.

On September 15th 2008, the Lufthansa Group announced its purchase of a stake in the Belgian airline company. In June 2009 the EU Commission granted regulatory approval for this strategic partnership between Brussels Airlines and Lufthansa. The decision paved the way for Lufthansa to acquire an initial 45% stake in SN Airholding SA/NV, the parent company of Brussels Airlines. As from January 2017, SN Airholding is 100% owned by Deutsche Lufthansa AG.

Skytrax certified Brussels Airlines as a 3-Star Airline for the quality of its airport and onboard product and staff service. Product rating includes seats, amenities, food & beverages, IFE, cleanliness etc, and service rating is for both cabin staff and ground staff.
