IATA Summer season 2010
This weekend our new summer timetables were started. Thanks to the acquisition of the two 777s and two additional Embraer 170 regional aircraft, several new destinations will be part of the Eurobelgian network. These include: Marseille, Strasbourg, Venice, Enfidha, Conakry, Freetown, Abidjan, Lagos, Monrovia and Beijing.
The new summer timetables focus more than ever on guaranteeing good connections from Europe to our own long haul network and the network of the GlobalOne alliance. Our new flights to Amsterdam and Paris, focusing for 100% on transfer passengers, are proving this. Furthermore, increased frequencies are present to several European cities for both business and leisure activities.
The new timetables can be seen using the (updated) Flight Search module on our website.
Eurobelgian RDC
Because of the high preparations to match the European safety standards, the launch of our African subsidiary has been postponed till August 1, 2010.
Based at Kinshasa airport, Democratic Republic of Congo, Eurobelgian RDC will offer Central Africa a new, safe way of flying. The current fleet of two Fokker 100s and one 737-700 will serve the domestic and international network, adapted to the needs of the African and European business man. Most destinations will furthermore connect to the Eurobelgian Airlines flights towards Brussels and Johannesburg. In Brussels passengers can connect further on to several European destinations.
