The best airlines Belgium

TuiFly is part of the long-established German TUI group, considered one of the world's leading tour operators. TuiFly has a strong presence in Cape Verde, particularly on the islands of Sal and Boa Vista, where it carries thousands of passengers in search of radiant winter sunshine. 2 to 3 flights a week from Brussels to Boa Vista, several flights a week to Sal. What's more, the flights are direct, at prices that are often unbeatable, and would justify French passengers making a slight detour to the flat country, if need be.

TUI fly Belgium, the Belgian subsidiary of the German TUI Group, operates between two and seven routes a week all year round between Brussels-National and Tirana airports. Convenient for tourists from Belgium and northern France, this route is mainly used by the Albanian diaspora. For the record, Albania's national airline Air Albania (airalbania.com.al) offers very few services: only to Italy and Turkey (in 2024), and the service to Basel-Mulhouse seems to have been suspended.

Brussels Airlines, which rose from the ashes of the national carrier Sabena, is the main airline linking Brussels Airport with the rest of the world. Connections to France are mainly to cities in the south (Lyon, Toulouse, Marseille, Bordeaux, Nice, Ajaccio, Figari), but also to Nantes and Strasbourg (due to travel between the two European parliaments) and to Geneva in Switzerland. A must is to come across one of their customized "Belgian Icons" aircraft: Rackham (Tintin), Trident (Diables Rouges), Aerosmurf (the Smurfs), Amare (Tomorrowland) or Bruegel.
