About Brussels Airlines
Brussels Airlines (IATA: SN) is Belgium's flag carrier and a member of the Lufthansa Group, alongside Lufthansa, Austrian Airlines, and Swiss International Air Lines. Operating from its sole hub at Brussels Airport (BRU), the airline runs a dense short and medium-haul European network complemented by long-haul flights to North America.
Brussels Airlines is especially notable for operating one of the most extensive Sub-Saharan Africa networks of any European carrier, flying to destinations including Kinshasa (DR Congo), Kigali (Rwanda), and Dakar (Senegal) — a legacy of Belgium's historic aviation links to Central Africa. As a Star Alliance member, Brussels Airlines gives travelers access to a broad global partner network.
