Brussels Airlines has added a new “destination in its long-haul network: Kilimanjaro, Tanzania.” According to Brussels Airlines, from “June 3, 2026, Kilimanjaro will be served twice a week. Kilimanjaro is the perfect destination for leisure travelers looking to explore sub-Saharan Africa and further strengthens Brussels Airlines’ position as the leading carrier for the region.”
Brussels Airlines says with the addition of Kilimanjaro, its network “in sub-Saharan Africa will grow to 18 destinations. It will be the fifth destination in East Africa, after Entebbe (Uganda), Kigali (Rwanda), Bujumbura (Burundi), and Nairobi (Kenya).”
“Kilimanjaro is not only the perfect gateway to the world-famous Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest peak, but also provides easy access to the Serengeti National Park and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, both UNESCO World Heritage sites.” Brussels Airlines added.
CEO, Brussels Airlines, Dorothea von Boxberg said: “Sub-Saharan Africa is our second home, and we’re happy to add an attractive destination to our network on this beautiful continent. Tanzania is a top destination for safaris, and we’re proud to contribute to the local economy by connecting Kilimanjaro to Brussels and beyond.”
Brussels Airlines noted that the “addition of Kilimanjaro is the highlight of Brussels Airlines’ Summer 2026 network, though several other changes are planned. On the long-haul network, capacity to Freetown (Sierra Leone) will increase from five to six weekly flights, with an additional service on Thursdays.”
