Ticketing for the route goes on sale from the 13th of September and will be progressively available through the usual distribution channels.

Mr Dai Hao Yu, Acting Senior Vice President of Marketing Planning at Singapore Airlines, said:
“Brussels is an important European economic and political centre, and the launch of this service adds another historical and charming city to SIA’s list of destinations. It also gives our customers who are travelling from Europe an additional point to connect to Singapore, as well as the wider Asia-Pacific region via our hub at Changi Airport. SIA will continue to review its network and find opportunities to offer more options for our customers.”
Providing a one-seat ride
Previously if one was to access a Singapore Airlines service from Brussels, you’d need to head to a connecting point (London, Paris or Frankfurt being some of the nearest gateways), or choose to head out to the Middle-East and connect.
For those Star Alliance flyers, this could be very advantageous for a reasonable connection between the two cities.
Whilst it is not a daily service it is still a big commitment to dedicate the aircraft to operate four times a week – and certainly something that can be built on, if traffic demands it.
