Brussels Airlines is preparing to transport over 1.2 million travelers during the busy summer months of July and August. The airline made this announcement in a press release on Monday, highlighting the excitement that awaits for the upcoming season. One of the main events that will be taking place is the ‘party flights’ which will bring more than 20,000 party goers to Belgium. These flights will feature a new ‘Amare’ aircraft for the Tomorrowland festival, making it an unforgettable experience for all involved.
Within Europe, Brussels Airlines has noted that island destinations are particularly popular this summer, with full flights to Zakynthos, Corfu, and Rhodes in Greece as well as Gran Canaria, Mallorca, and Lanzarote in Spain. City trips to destinations like Gothenburg and Stockholm in Sweden are also in demand due to their milder climates.
Outside of Europe, many Belgians are opting for holidays in the United States with direct flights to New York and Washington DC. Collaborations with travel organizations have led to full flights to destinations like Hurghada in Egypt and Antalya in Turkey as well.
To handle the increased demand for summer travel, Brussels Airlines has hired over 180 additional cabin crew and 64 extra pilots. The airport teams will also be reinforced with 40 new check-in staff during the summer season. In addition, 70 student workers will be assisting the ground staff to ensure a smooth travel experience for all passengers. With these measures in place, Brussels Airlines is ready to make sure that everyone’s summer vacation is a success!
