Lufthansa and Brussels are now offering
codeshare flights on selected long-haul routes as part of their
agreement to expand their cooperation and open up their networks
to each other's passengers.
The first jointly operated long-haul
services are Brussels Airlines flights from Brussels to Entebbe,
Uganda and the new Lufthansa connection from Frankfurt to
Libreville, Gabon.
Flights on both theses routes can now be
booked under the partner's flight number.
Lufthansa passengers can thus fly to Entebbe via Brussels under a
Lufthansa flight number. Lufthansa does not operate its own
flights to this destination in Uganda. Likewise, Brussels Airlines
passengers can fly to Libreville, the capital of Gabon, from
Brussels via Frankfurt.
Lufthansa and Brussels
Airlines will gradually offer more long-haul flights to Africa on
a codeshare basis. In the long term, Lufthansa passengers will
have a much wider choice of destinations in Africa, as Lufthansa
plans to add further codeshare routes with Brussels Airlines to
its network.
Lufthansa and Brussels Airlines already operate codeshare flights on all cross-border routes between Germany and
Belgium as well as on selected routes in Europe.
Members
of both airlines' frequent flyer programmes – Miles & More and
Privilege – can already collect miles on all flights operated by
Brussels Airlines and Lufthansa and redeem them for award flights.
