Brussels Airlines will be offering more intercontinental flights next summer. For this purpose, connections that have been suspended due to the corona will be resumed.

From June 11, 2022, the Lufthansa subsidiary will again be flying three times a week between Brussels Airport and the West African destinations Conakry (Guinea) and Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso). In addition to the return of Conakry and Ouagadougou to the route network, the flight frequencies to Banjul, Lomé and Monrovia will be increased to five flights for each of these routes this summer. The frequencies to the East African destinations Entebbe and Kigali will be expanded to seven and five times a week, respectively. This growth is made possible by the ninth long-haul aircraft that the airline is adding to its fleet.

From mid-June, the airline will be flying daily to New York again, after taking off four times a week for the east coast in 2021. Flights to Washington DC operate five times a week during the summer season and allow connections between Africa and the USA via Brussels Airport.
