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 the 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 "You’re in good company".

 

The Brussels Airlines fleet comprises 46 aircraft consisting of Airbus A330-300, Airbus A319, and Airbus A320
The Airbus A330-300 is the biggest bird in the Brussels Airlines fleet, mainly operating flights to and from North America and Africa. This twin-engine aircraft delivers high-quality comfort to all 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.

 

During the global coronavirus pandemic, Brussels Airlines pledged to maintain and comply with the strictest health and safety measures worldwide, following EASA (European Aviation Safety Agency) travel restriction guidelines.

 

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 of 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 products and staff service. Product rating includes seats, amenities, food & beverages, IFE, cleanliness, etc, and service rating is for both cabin staff and ground staff.
