ANA is launching a new route from Narita, Tokyo to its sixth European City, Brussels in its 2015 winter schedule. Brussels is one of of the most important political cities in Europe being home to principal institutions of the European Union, other EU-related organisations and the headquarters of NATO. Many Japanese companies are based in Brussels and a total of 90,000 passengers board transit flights from Japan annually.
The Japanese airline currently flies direct from Narita or Haneda to Frankfurt, Munich, Düsseldorf, London and Paris.
The airline will announce later the exact date of the start of service, flight timetable and aircraft type to be used on the route, subject to relevant authorities approval.
Brussels Airlines, a member of the Lufthansa Group and a member of Star Alliance, is building a network of flights to destinations inside and outside Europe centred on its hub at Brussels Airport.
