On 28 October Brussels Airlines will launch a new scheduled service to Edinburgh. From then on Scotland’s capital city will be connected six times a week with Brussels Airport. Starting next summer season two daily frequencies will be scheduled. Return tickets are available from 99 euro, taxes included.  With the opening of Edinburgh Brussels Airlines adds an important leisure and business destination to its European network. Edinburgh is a vibrant city, hosting a number of exciting events all year.  The Old Town, proclaimed  UNESCO World Heritage with the famous Edinburgh Castle, the Royal Mile Promenade and the many bars, pubs and restaurants of the Grass Market make Edingburgh a fantastic citytrip destination offering lots of attractions, places to visit and a shopping experience like no other. Edinburgh is also the capital of Scotland. The city houses the Scottish Parliament, and is the second most important financial centre of the UK, after London, due to the presence of many banks and insurance companies.  
Edinburgh airport is the ideal gateway to discover the city, the peaceful countryside in the Lothians land and the surrounding green scenery in Scotland. This year, Edinburgh airport was awarded for the second time “Best European Airport” in the category 5-10 million passengers.
