Brussels Airlines Company Description
Whether its passengers call it Belgium's largest airline in French, German, or Dutch, Brussels Airlines flies to about 70 cities, mainly in Europe and Africa. The carrier operates a fleet of about 50 aircraft, including BAE regional jets and larger Airbus and Boeing models. The carrier also hauls cargo and provides charter services. SN Airholding, a consortium of Belgian companies, owns the airline, which it intends to sell to German carrier Lufthansa. Brussels Airlines was invited in late 2008 to join the Star Alliance, a global marketing and code-sharing group led by Lufthansa and UAL's United Airlines. (Code-sharing enables airlines to sell tickets on one another's flights and thus extend their networks.)
