»»Brussels Airlines and Continental To Start Codesharing
Beginning August 9, 2010 Continental and Brussels Airlines will start codeshare flights between New York and Brussels, as well as on selected flights operated by each carrier on both sides of the Atlantic.
The agreement will offer Continental customers quicker and easier access to several destinations in Europe (Bologna, Italy; Bristol, London/Heathrow and Newcastle, United Kingdom; Hanover, Germany; and Lyons, Marseilles, Paris/Charles de Gaulle and Toulouse, France) as well as in Africa (Accra, Ghana; Banjul, Gambia; Bujumbura, Burundi; Cotonou, Benin; Dakar, Senegal; Douala and Yaounde, Cameroon; Entebbe, Uganda; Kigali, Rwanda; Monrovia, Liberia; Nairobi, Kenya; and Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso).
At the same time, Brussels Airlines passengers will take advantage of the agreement getting easier access on Continental’s daily flights between Brussels and its New York hub, Newark Liberty International Airport, as well as on selected flights to five U.S. destinations including Cleveland, Dallas/Fort Worth, Fort Lauderdale, Houston and Orlando.
Because both Continental and Brussels Airlines are members of Star Alliance, under the agreement, frequent flyer programme members of both airlines are able to earn and redeem miles on flights on either airline’s global route network.
