Brussels Airlines (stylized as brussels airlines) is the flag carrier and largest airline of Belgium, based and headquartered at Brussels Airport. It operates to over 90 destinations in Europe, North America, Africa and Asia and also offers additional charter services, maintenance and crew training.
Brussels Airlines was created following the merger of SN Brussels Airlines (SNBA) and Virgin Express. On 7 November 2006, the new name was announced. On 15 September 2008, it was announced that Lufthansa would acquire a 45% stake in Brussels Airlines with an option to acquire the remaining 55% from 2011. As a part of this deal, Brussels Airlines would join Star Alliance. On 28 September 2016, the Supervisory Board of Lufthansa announced that the airline would exercise the option to acquire the remaining 55% of Brussels Airlines' parent company SN Airholding. The modalities would be defined before the end of the year in order to conclude the transaction at the beginning of 2017. In March 2017, parent company Thomas Cook announced its intention to sell its Belgian operations to Lufthansa, Brussels Airlines' parent company. Therefore, Thomas Cook Airlines Belgium will be shut down by November 2017 with two aircraft and all traffic rights being handed to Brussels Airlines respectively.
Brussels Airlines is member of Star Alliance since 9 December 2009.
