Brussels Airlines extends codeshare with bmi

Brussels Airlines has announced an extension to its codeshare deal with bmi.

The airline announced that it will begin offering flights to Heathrow Airport as part of an agreement with bmi from October 25th, providing a total of seven daily services on the London Heathrow to Brussels route.

Business passengers, people on city breaks and travellers accessing onward connections from Belgium will all benefit from the new schedule, Brussels Airlines claimed.

The extended agreement is part of the carrier's integration into the Star Alliance network, of which bmi is already a member.

Brussels Airlines already cooperates with the British operator on routes to Edinburgh Airport, Leeds-Bradford Airport, Gatwick Airport and other bases in the UK from Brussels.

It was recently announced that the Belgian carrier will be extending its route network into Africa this year as part of a codeshare agreement with Lufthansa, another Star Alliance member.

The development will allow Brussels Airlines to offer flights to Cape Town, Johannesburg, Accra and Khartoum.
