I so hope you're right and I'm wrong... but I believe there's a new flight to CPT from Sao Paolo... not from BRU

2026 will be in general a very interesting year with new airlines touching the BRU ground. More I cannot say at the moment

If you can't tell, we will speculate

You speak about airlines, so there is more than one (beside LATAM)?

- Riyadh Airways starting Riyadh
- Air India or Indigo to Delhi or Mumbai
OR
- Air China starting Chengdu
- American starting Philadelphia
OR
another combination of the above
OR
...

Let's the speculation start ...
