Brussels Airlines expects the winter to be busier than last year with a prolonged holiday season, as it notes a high demand for winter-sun destinations.
Whereas the demand for leisure travel to typical holiday destinations usually drops at the end of the summer holidays, the airline now registers a strong demand for holiday destinations during autumn as well.
Following the high demand for winter-sun destinations, Brussels Airlines will add Hurghada to its network as of October 31, 2021, first time since March 2020 that the Egyptian destination was part of the airline’s network.
Also, the north-African destination, Marrakesh joins the network this winter as a new destination for Brussels Airlines.
During winter, Brussels Airlines continues to operate to its extensive Sub-Sahara Africa network including destinations to Abidjan (Ivory Coast), Accra (Ghana), Banjul (Gambia), Cotonou (Benin), Dakar (Senegal), Freetown (Sierra Leone), Lomé (Togo), Monrovia (Liberia), Douala (Cameroon), Kinshasa (DRC), Luanda (Angola), Yaoundé (Cameroon), Bujumbura (Burundi), Entebbe (Uganda), Kigali (Rwanda).
