A century ago, on February 12, 1925, three Belgian astronauts completed their first flight between Brussels and Kinshasa (then Leopoldville), paving the way for a lasting connection. Today, Brussels Airlines continues to strengthen its deep roots with Africa, serving 18 destinations across the continent.
As the Lufthansa Group's Africa Capacity Center, Brussels Airlines plays a key role in linking major hubs and niche markets. The airline has been commissioned by the 11th Airbus A330 in June 2025, continuing to be committed to expanding its fleet and capabilities.
From pioneering flights to modern connectivity, Brussels Airlines celebrates a century of bridge between Belgium and Africa, enhancing economic and cultural connections.
