About Brussels Airlines:
Brussels Airlines is an airline based in Zaventem, Belgium and a subsidiary of Lufthansa. It is the largest airline based in Belgium, and operates to over 50 destinations in 20 European countries as well as long-haul flights to East, Central and West Africa. It also operates charter services, maintenance and training of cockpit and cabin crew. The airline is a member of IATA and the Association of European Airlines (AEA).
Brussels Airlines was created following the merger of SN Brussels Airlines (SNBA) and Virgin Express. On 12 April 2005, SN Airholding, the company behind SNBA, signed an agreement with Richard Branson, giving it control over Virgin Express. On 31 March 2006 SNBA and Virgin Express announced their merger into a single company. On 7 November 2006, the new name, Brussels Airlines, was announced at a press conference at Brussels Airport. Brussels Airlines began operations on 25 March 2007.
In January 2007, the company announced it had acquired a fourth Airbus A330-300, from the defunct company Air Madrid.
Through its Mauritius based subsidiary Pan African Airlines Leasing Company Ltd, Brussels Airlines founded the Congolese airline AirDC, of which it owns 49%, and partner airline Hewa Bora Airways owning the remaining 51%.
In December 2007 the airline expressed interest in joining an airline alliance, considering it a priority for the airline.
In July 2008 it appeared that the project "AirDC" was delayed, as the Congolese government did not give the required authorizations to start the new airline with Mauritian registered aircraft (through the Brussels Airlines owned and Mauritius based Pan African Airlines Leasing Company Ltd).
On 15 September 2008 it was announced that Lufthansa will acquire a 45% stake in Brussels Airlines with an option to acquire the remaining 55% from 2011. As a part of this deal Brussels Airlines will join Star Alliance.
On 13 March Brussels Airlines announced that the airline will codeshare all their flights to Germany with Lufthansa. The codeshare agreement will start from March 29. This new step is part of the integration of Brussels Airlines into the Star Alliance network. Brussels Airlines is expected to become a Star Alliance member in 2009.
On 15 June 2009 Brussels Airlines announced that the European Comission granted approval for Lufthansa to take over Brussels Airlines. As a result of this clearance by the EU, the road has been cleared for Brussels Airlines to join Star Alliance. (Source: Wikipedia - 2009)
