Brussels Airlines extends network to Africa

Brussels Airlines has added four destinations in Africa to its network as a result of its partnership with Lufthansa.

The codeshare between the carriers means that the Brussels-based airline now offers flights to Cape Town and Johannesburg in South Africa, Khartoum in Sudan and Accra in Ghana.

Travellers can choose from first, economy and business class on the routes, which Brussels Airlines will operate via Frankfurt.

The carrier said that Ghana is becoming an increasingly important destination for business travellers, who will now be able to catch five weekly flights to the country from Belgium.

Brussels Airlines serves a total of 16 destinations on the African continent.

The company also operates an intercontinental network that includes flights to the United Arab Emirates, Thailand and India, as well as 33 destinations in North America via Chicago and New York.

In December last year, Brussels Airlines received an official invitation to join Star Alliance, a network that also includes Air Canada, bmi, Singapore Airlines and other carriers.
