The FINANCIAL — Brussels Airlines once again registered a strong passenger growth during the month of October. In comparison to October 2014, the number of passengers grew by 13%. The occupancy also increased by 3.7 percentage points. With these figures, Brussels Airlines is one of the fastest growing European airlines.
In October – the last month of the summer season in aviation – 706,227 passengers flew with Brussels Airlines, which are 81,441 more than last year. Especially remarkable was the growth on flights to Africa and the States; where the passenger numbers increased by 27.9 and 20.3% respectively. Also the European network grew significantly, with 11.3% more passengers, according to Brussels Airlines.
The growth led to an improvement of the occupancy rate, which amounted to 76%.
One of the highlights of the previous month was the launch of a new route to Accra. The capital of Ghana is connected directly with Brussels Airport since the end of October, and this 4 times a week.
In September the Brussels Airlines network was expanded with two new destinations. Since that month Brussels Airlines connects the Croatian capital Zagreb six times a week with Brussels Airport and the North-German Bremen is operated every day of the week.
In addition to its scheduled flight activity, Brussels Airlines operated many flights for tour operators and charter flights.
