In Europe, Islands are particularly popular this summer with full flights to Zakynthos, Corfu and Rhodos in Greece and Gran Canaria, Mallorca, and Lanzarote in Spain. But also city-trips during summer are popular, specially to cities known for a slightly milder climate like Stockholm and Gothenburg in Sweden. ​

Outside Europe, many Belgians decided to explore the United Sates during the summer. Brussels Airlines offers direct flights to New York JFK and Washington DC. In cooperation with tour operators, destinations like Hurghada (Egypt) and Antalya (Turkey) are also very full.

Brussels Airlines has expanded its network. Thanks to an additional Airbus A330 and an additional Airbus A320, Nairobi (Kenya) and Krakow (Poland) are new in Brussels Airlines’ network.

Investments for staff

​Brussels Airlines doesn’t just aim to make every passenger feel at home, the airline has also made significant investments to enhance the working conditions for all employees. A brand-new crew center was recently opened at the airport, where cabin crew and pilots can meet before their flight, perform pre-flight duties, or relax during a stand-by shift.

Earlier this year, Brussels Airlines opened a new training facility in Vilvoorde. With state-of-the-art simulators, trainings were enhanced even further and centralized on one location.
