Brussels Airlines, the national airline of Belgium, is to stop its Mumbai to Brussels flight from January 7 next year.

In a communication to the travel community, the airline has said that the termination of the flight is part of a restructuring programme to improve the airline’s long-haul network and to optimise fleet utilisation on its Africa network, the key intercontinental market for the Belgium-based airline.

In a statement to the media, the airline added that the flight is being withdrawn for economic reasons.
