Brussels in London switch

Brussels Airlines has announced that it intends to switch its scheduled service from Brussels to London Gatwick, in favour of a move to London Heathrow. Currently, Star Alliance newest recruit operates 13 weekly services to the secondary London Airport with a mix of A319 and Avrojet aircraft.

The planned switch will take place from January 9, replacing BMI service which will be discontinued from Jan 9th.
