BRU Summer 2026: news, new routes, airlines

[Established02]

Delta lost a key corporate contract

Which one? AB InBev perhaps?

They're looking for B737 pilots/instructors, but will be "converted to A320 within the next 6 years"

I think lumumba was talking about the wet-leased A320's from Avion Express that were in BRU this summer.

Got it but I guess not since they're hiring Boeing pilots.

Yes my question was if they gone continue with Avion Express A320 .
So that's finished from next summer they will fly again with there 737s till the new A320neo (family) order arrives.
Again thank you.

OO-SFG was due to fly an extra flight SN461 to Kigali/Nairobi on this Saturday for the World cycling championship. It has been canceled; SFG flying the SN379 instead.

Wrong file...Sorry

[brabel]

Warsaw is not the only destination for SN in Poland. They also fly to Krakow

[BRU_AV_123]

Seems like UA will announce their summer schedule tomorrow. Let's see if BRU gets a 5th Daily flight from them or not.
For now, BRU-IAD is at least still bookable through SN.

Would be interesting indeed. New flight to LA or SF. With the Royal economic mission there now.
Today was already announced that Google will invest another 5 billion euro in data centers in Walloon and Amazon will invest 1 billion euro in Belgium. Let's hope for a new flight too

[BRU_AV_123]

Brussels Airlines joining the JV of Lufthansa and Singapore Airlines would be a good opportunity for SQ to increase its flights to daily I believe. Is it an indication that SQ is quite happy with its performance in BRU?

No new flights to BRU. It will be Bari, Glasgow, Santiago de compostela, Seoul, Split.

Southern European countries are lately very attractive for US carriers. Also Delta opened new destinations there.

Pity. We need to wait till the end of next year for new flights update

It is a pity and as a Dane, Greek and Belgian using all the capital airports massively I’m a bit disappointed in BRU’s growth.

However, reading airliners.net they say the United gives its Denver new routes later in the year or early next spring so maybe there. Also, Warsaw is catching up to BRU in pax numbers so I hope more things are in the pipeline.

I’m impressed though with ATH and CPH but those for varied reasons but still they managed to grow. BRU needs to try a bit harder but I do hope something comes to fruition.

Delta and United anticipate higher growth from leisure markets. That is not BRU.

Exactly. Warsaw has already higher pax figures for this year than BRU. They have a much smaller airport, only 1 terminal with pier but they have a strong home carrier

WAW is slightly better located for connections to Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Republics. There is also the matter of the Polish diaspora being over 10 millions strong in North America. You could remove one 0 and that is still more than the Belgian diaspora. That is a lot of potential VFR traffic.

Point being, I don't think that WAW catching up to BRU is because of something WAW is doing, or BRU not doing.
