Passengers flying from Bristol Airport to Brussels will board a new,
improved aircraft from the end of October following an agreement between
Brussels Airlines and Flybe.
The Belgian airline’s three-times daily service to Europe’s ‘capital’
is operated by Flybe under a ‘wet-lease’ contract which will see a
Bombardier Q400 introduced on the route.
The new aircraft has capacity for 78 passengers – a 60 per cent increase in seats compared to the Embraer 145 currently operating the service. It will bear the Brussels Airlines livery and offer the same product and services enjoyed across the Brussels Airlines short haul network, meaning passengers from Bristol will enjoy a seamless product when using the flight to access onward connections.

The Brussels Airlines service operates three times a day, with convenient connections from Brussels to 21 destinations in Africa, 50 European cities and a new daily flight to New York JFK. Flight times include an early morning departure (06:20) making it possible to do a day’s business before returning at 16:20 or 20:50. The winter schedule also includes a Saturday flight.
