Air Belgium Launches Flights to Hong Kong

Air Belgium has launched two flights per week between Brussels Charleroi and Hong Kong.

The new route will be operated by Airbus A340 aircraft with 257 seats, including 32 business class seats, 21 premium seats and 212 economy seats.

In June, Air Belgium will operate two flights per week to Hong Kong departing from Brussels Charleroi, three per week as from July and four flights per week from October onwards.

As Air Belgium looks to expand across Asia - especially China, the airline is promising to grow its Hong Kong presence with the addition of over 100 new local staff members in the city this year.

Niky Terzakis, Chief Executive Officer at Air Belgium, said, “We’re thrilled to launch our first-ever route, which is the result of two years of great teamwork. Air Belgium’s promise is to deliver affordable, Belgian hospitality and direct access between Brussels Charleroi and Hong Kong, both regional platforms. This is an exciting first step for us as we continue to grow our business in the region.”

Roundtrip fares start at HKD 4,499 in Economy, HKD 9,999 in Premium and HKD 19,999 in Business. These prices include 23 kg of luggage, a meal and local taxes.

Mr. Fred Lam JP, Chief Executive Officer of Airport Authority Hong Kong, said, “We welcome Air Belgium’s decision to choose Hong Kong as the destination to launch their inaugural flight, which is a testament to Hong Kong’s status as a leading international aviation hub and the business potential for airlines in Asia. The new direct service also further strengthens HKIA’s extensive air network and provides more choices to our passengers. We wish Air Belgium every success in Hong Kong and the region.”
