Brussels Airlines Flies To India started this March. Brussels Airlines has launched three new scheduled services from its Brussels hub (BRU) this week, with a 6,862-kilometer link to Mumbai (BOM) being the most significant.

Launched on 30 March, the service marks the end of a year-long gap in scheduled flights between Brussels and India, with Jet Airways serving both Mumbai and Delhi from Brussels, moving its European hub to Amsterdam at the end of March from last year . "Our new service has received a warm welcome here in the Indian market.

We see very encouraging booking results for travel to Belgium and many destinations beyond Brussels, including Canada, United States, United Kingdom, Spain, France and several African destinations" "Said Patrick Roofthooft, Director of Brussels Airlines India and Commercial Development.

Brussels Airlines will operate the route in a mix of its A330-200 and -300s on a five times weekly basis, without any other company offering direct competition. Not only did Brussels Airlines begin its first flights to India this week, but it also linked Brussels with Funchal (FNC) and Yerevan (EVN).

Flights to both destinations will take place weekly (Saturday), with the connection of 2,663 kilometers to Funchal operated on the airline A319 and the 3 281 km link with Yerevan on the A320.

While flights to the Armenian capital will not face direct competition, services to Funchal will go head-to-head with Thomas Cook Airlines Belgium and TUIfly, with both also operating weekly flights. It should be noted that Brussels Airlines started services to Yerevan in December, although they were initially operated as charter flights. With scheduled services now in place, the airline will increase the frequency to Brussels from Yerevan to twice a week in July.
