As of 17 February 2020, Brussels Airlines will start operating flights to Valencia in Spain. Valencia is a key destination that was still missing in Brussels Airlines’ vast European portfolio and targets next to holidaymakers also corporate travellers. The aviation winter season, which starts on 27 October, also brings changes to some existing destinations on the European network map, optimising the schedule to the market.
Valencia is the third largest city in Spain after Madrid and Barcelona and one of the biggest point-to-point markets out of Brussels currently not served by Brussels Airlines. As of February next year, Brussels Airlines will start a four-weekly service to the port city on Spain’s southeastern coast, flying on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday. It is the 16th city Brussels Airlines serves in Spain, which remains a very popular holiday destination for Belgians. Valencia is mostly known for its heritage of ancient monuments, views and cultural attractions, making it one of Spain’s most popular tourist destinations. With Brussels Airlines opening the Valencia route, all airlines of the Lufthansa Group are now represented in the Spanish city.
Brussels Airlines will operate Airbus A319 and A320 aircraft on the Valencia route.

Valencia is full of surprises! Did you know for example that Valencia has the largest inner city urban park in the whole of Europe? The famous Turia park, which used to be a river, is only one of five perfect public parks in Valencia. And did you know that the Holy Grail, the cup that Jesus was supposed to have drunk from at the last supper, is said to be kept in the cathedral in central Valencia.
