Starting tomorrow, Brussels Airlines will launch its spring schedule with a notable expansion of services, including one new long-haul destination, eight new European routes and several frequency increases across its network.
The airline’s new long-haul destination is Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ). Brussels Airlines will operate the route using its newest Airbus A330, offering improved comfort and capacity for transatlantic travellers. This addition strengthens Brussels’ connections to North America and provides more options for business and leisure passengers traveling between Belgium and Canada.
On the short-haul front, Brussels Airlines is adding flights to eight European cities: Belfast (BFS), Jerez de la Frontera (XRY), Tenerife (TFS), Las Palmas (LPA), Nantes (NTE), Heraklion (HER) and Thessaloniki (SKG). These services expand the carrier’s footprint across the British Isles, Spain, France and Greece. Specifically, the new schedule enables service to Ireland up to five times weekly, to Spain six times weekly, to France a total of 12 weekly frequencies, to Germany six times weekly and seasonal connections to Crete and Thessaloniki twice weekly.
To support growing demand on regional routes, the airline is introducing three additional Airbus A319 and two additional Airbus A320 aircraft into its short- and medium-haul fleet. This increased capacity will be deployed on routes such as Gothenburg (GOT), Toulouse (TLS), Marseille (MRS), London Heathrow (LHR), Barcelona (BCN) and Faro (FAO), improving seat availability and schedule flexibility for travellers across Western Europe.
Several existing routes will also see frequency boosts. Brussels Airlines will add one weekly rotation each on services to Washington, D.C. (IAD), Kigali (KGL), Entebbe (EBB), Vilnius (VNO), Venice (VCE), Alicante (ALC) and Malaga (AGP). Further increases include three additional weekly flights to Lisbon (LIS); four extra weekly rotations to Billund (BLL) and Edinburgh (EDI); five more weekly flights to Manchester (MAN); and a significant increase of six weekly flights to Porto (OPO). These frequency enhancements are intended to offer travellers more convenient schedules, better connections and greater capacity during peak travel periods.
The combined network changes—new destinations, added aircraft and increased flight frequencies—reflect Brussels Airlines’ strategy to grow its European network while strengthening key long-haul links. Passengers can expect improved connectivity through Brussels as a hub, more travel options across Europe and enhanced transatlantic service to Toronto.
Travelers planning trips this spring should check Brussels Airlines’ official schedule and booking channels for up-to-date timetables, aircraft types and seat availability. With the new routes and frequency increases, the airline aims to better serve both leisure and business markets and respond to evolving travel demand across its network.
