(TAN): Belgium’s national airline Brussels Airlines will operate 45% of its normal schedule with 27 aircraft in September and October, the airline has announced.
The airline’s long-haul operations that were originally planned for June 22, has been delayed until August because of the ongoing travel restrictions.
Brussels Airlines will add frequencies to the already relaunched destinations, apart from adding new destinations. In medium-haul, the new destinations are Basel, Birmingham, Bologna, Edinburgh, Goteborg, Milan Linate and Warshaw.
Because of the extension of travel restrictions outside of Europe, the relaunch of the Belgian Airlines’ long-haul operations has been delayed and is now planned for August and remains subject to governmental approval. Apart from the long-haul destinations that were planned to launch as communicated in May, the airline also aims to add Freetown to its network in August.
Considering the current circumstances, if passengers are unable to travel or prefer to change their travel plans, they can enjoy a free rebooking to a later date before December 31, 2021 and even change their destination. Guests do not need to contact Brussels Airlines immediately as they have the time until January 31, 2021 to let the airline know on what date and where to they want to travel.
