Austrian Airlines launches cooperation with new Star Alliance partner Brussels Airlines
· Codeshare agreement creates strong connections to and from Belgium

At the end of March 2010, with the beginning of the summer schedule, Austrian Airlines will be launching its cooperation with new Star Alliance partner airline Brussels Airlines. Until now, Austrian Airlines has flown the route from Vienna to Brussels five times a day. In future, however, the cooperation between the two carriers will allow us to offer two more flights a day, increasing the total to seven flights a day. We offer our customers a finely-tuned flight schedule. All flights are to be marketed by both partners Brussels Airport is the hub of Brussels Airlines, and we will also be offering new and attractive connections, both to Belgium itself and beyond. Our customers will benefit from additional options for transferring into the Austrian Airlines route network.
