Brussels Airlines has stated in its latest bulletin that further to its ongoing aero political negotiations with the Senegalese authorities, unfortunately the airline is unable to combine flights to Dakar with any other destination. For the reason, the carrier has to re-organize some of its flight schedules to West & East Africa as from March 27, 2011.
The airline further stated that these changes and the re-accommodation of affected passengers will be implemented over this weekend but in the meanwhile some availability displays may become temporarily closed.
These adjustments to Air Brussels Summer Africa flights programme largely affected flights to Nairobi, Dakar, Banjul, Cotonou, Free Town, Monrovia, Abuja, Kigali, Entebbe, Ouagadougou and Conakry.
The airline is offering a number of options to its already booked Passengers, who are affected by these schedule updates and unable to accept the proposed travel dates/flights. The options include, Free change of reservation to another Air Brussels flight or date. Plus, in this case no penalty applies (even for the most restrictive tickets). In the case, rebooking is to be done in the same ticketed booking class or where the same class is not available, in the next higher booking class only. The point to note is that all Rebooking must be done within the same cabin (business or economy). Secondly, the airline will allow rebooking only on Air Brussels flights.
Air Brussels also apologized for the inconvenience this may have caused to its loyal customers.
Brussels Airlines offers flights to 70 destinations worldwide and its most important routes include flights to Abuja, Nairobi, Kigali, Dakar and Entebbe.
