EgyptAir and Brussels Airlines to Codeshare

EgyptAir and Brussels Airlines are to launch codeshare flights, expanding their international and domestic destinations as well as  enhancing the frequent flyer benefits offered to customers.

Beginning 12 January 2010, the first phase of the codeshare agreement will allow Brussels Airlines to place its code on EgyptAir flights linking Brussels with Cairo and Luxor. Customers of both carriers will be able to acquire and redeem miles on both frequent flyer programs.

Being the latest member to join Star Alliance, Brussels Airlines customers will be able to benefit from the through check-in at Cairo’s Terminal 3.

“Egypt, one of the most popular holiday destinations in the Belgian leisure market, was so far lacking in the network of Brussels Airlines,” said Brussels Airlines Executive Vice President Network Development Erik Follet. “Thanks to this partnership with EgyptAir we can now offer a perfect travel solution that also suits the needs of the increasing number of business travelers. On top of that, we guarantee EgyptAir customers smooth connections to more than 60 destinations in Europe and Africa.”
