About us

Brussels Airlines is the home carrier of Belgium and one of the four network airlines of the Lufthansa Group. It connects the European capital from Brussels Airport with over 85 destinations, 17 of which are in Sub Saharan Africa. The company employs 3,100 people and operates 41 aircraft. Brussels Airlines aims to emit 50% less CO2 by 2030 compared to 2019 and plans to be carbon neutral by 2050. The airline is participating in the Stargate Project led by Brussels Airport and is therefore part of the testing ground for sustainable aviation at its home base. In addition, the airline signed the Circular Economy agreement of the Antwerp Management School in 2021. In 2023, Brussels Airlines welcomes three state-of-the-art Airbus A320neo allowing the airline to significantly lower its CO2- and noise-emissions on its medium-haul network. Next to that, the airline aims to operate its first flight using Sustainable Aviation fuel (SAF) by 2023. As an ambassador of its country, Brussels Airlines brings the world to Belgium and the best of Belgium to the world, among others through collaborations with Belgian Star Chefs, Belgian culinary products and the Belgian Icons, specially painted aircraft that honor a Belgian iconic person, team or event to promote Belgian culture worldwide.

  • 🌍 Local languages onboard? Yes we do! ✈️ At Brussels Airlines, the African continent is so much more than a destination, it is part of who we are. To make our flights even more personal, we now welcome passengers in ten local languages spoken across our Sub-Saharan network. We hope these announcements, 🎙️ recorded by our own colleagues, create a true sense of home from take-off to landing. From Twi in Ghana to Kirundi in Burundi, we want to celebrate the cultural richness of Africa. This initiative is part of our deep-rooted commitment to the continent, which has been at the heart of our identity since the very beginning. From the very first flight between Belgium and the African continent - arriving exactly 100 years ago on April 3 1925 - to today, Brussels Airlines continues to connect people, cultures, and economies. Here’s to a century of bridging cultures, and many more to come!
