From February 1st, Eurobelgian Airlines and fly Ocean Airline, two of Europe´s leading virtual airlines, will become one. Challenging traditional thinking and braking apperently solid boundaries is today´s only possibility to grow.

At belOcean, we share this way of thinking and aim to establish new standards. We continuously strive to be a driving force and believe in new opportunities. It is our dream to offer an entirely new experience to pilots and promise to implement our dream in everything we do.

Sharing is a key element of our new way of thinking and enables us new possibilities. As recognized brands, Eurobelgian Airlines and fly Ocean Airline will stay completely independent but share common flight operations and a single management. Still independent operating, we have the chance to use the individual advantages of each airline but work together, where strength is needed and where synergies lead to added value.

By establishing a comprehensive network across Europe, we enable pilots to experience a different perspective and connect the metropolises of Europe with the world. From our major hubs in Brussels, Barcelona and Madrid, we offer a new outlook on the world, with over 80 destinations in more than 40 countries around the globe.

Together with our partners of the GlobalOne Alliance, we will offer a world-wide network of passenger and cargo services and continue to grow, face new challenges and change the traditional way of thinking.

And this is at last, just the beginning.

Rebranding “All wings together”
As of the IATA summer season 2010, Eurobelgian Airlines and its subsidiaries will continue under one  main brand: Eurobelgian. The Eurobelgian “holding” will consist of the main airline, Eurobelgian Airlines, a regional operator, Eurobelgian Régional and an African startup airline, Eurobelgian RDC. Each airline has its specific “wings” in the logo. All wings will strengthen the group. All wings together.

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.

GlobalOne Alliance
The GlobalOne Alliance is reaching its final launch. Next to the current codeshare agreements with Meridian Airlines and Western Airlines, new agreements with airlines as Arabian Airlines, British Atlantic Airways and Central Asian Airlines are on its way!
