Brussels Airlines sees a recurring demand. Not only that: the booking behavior of customers is changing permanently. That is why the carrier is expanding the summer flight schedule for 2022.

Due to the uncertainty that the Corona crisis brought with it, flight passengers usually booked their tickets shortly before departure. This trend of last-minute bookings is gradually coming to an end. Because the airline has been seeing a change for a few weeks now, especially in the last few weeks there have been more bookings for next year's summer vacation.

“This shift in the booking trend enables us to better adapt our offer to the needs of our customers. In the last few weeks we have seen a growing number of bookings for spring and especially for the upcoming school holidays. This is a very positive sign that shows that our customers can see the light at the end of the tunnel and start planning their holidays for the next year, ”said Jan Derycke, Head of Network and Planning.
