Air China is to launch two routes from Brussels Airport to Beijing and Chengdu from March 2026.
The Chinese carrier, which is a Star Alliance member, will operate five weekly flights between Brussels and Beijing from 24 March, which will quickly ramp up to a daily service from 29 March for the summer season.
Meanwhile Air China’s Brussels to Chengdu flights will start on 26 March with three weekly services.
Arnaud Feist, CEO of Brussels Airport, said: “We are delighted to welcome Air China to Brussels Airport with the launch of these direct flights to Beijing and Chengdu.
“These new routes enhance our Asian and intercontinental network and strengthen our ties with China. They will improve connectivity for passengers and businesses while fostering closer cultural and economic relations between our countries.”
