Bmi regional and Brussels Airlines strengthen partnership

Thursday, 3 December 20153 min read

Bmi regional has strengthened its partnership with Brussels Airlines by operating additional flights for the Belgium airline within Europe.

A bmi regional-operated service from Brussels to Strasbourg launches on December 7, timed to connect with the East Midlands-Brussels service.

In addition, a Brussel-Nuremberg service will be introduced by Brussels Airlines in February 2016, also be operated by bmi regional.

The new services sit alongside the current East Midlands-Brussels route, which will become a full codeshare service with Brussels Airlines.

This service will continue to operate twice daily on weekdays and once on Sundays, on a 49-seater Embraer 145 aircraft.

Flight times have been changed so that UK business travellers can spend a full day in Brussels and return in the evening, without having to overnight in the city.
