The airline
Brussels Airlines was created from SN Brussels Airlines and Virgin Express. The result is a customer-focused, flexible company organized around what matters most to you. Brussels Airlines gives passengers more choice about how they fly, depending on what suits them best: whether it’s the best price, or the most flexibility.

The Magazine
b.spirit! is a unique in-flight magazine combining lifestyle features, current affairs, business news and city guides focused on Brussels Airlines medium/long haul network, written for the business and high-end leisure traveller. All to a high-quality standard of editorial, photography and production.
A constant companion and reference tool, the magazine also showcases the extensive range of duty free products available onboard and the great range of audio and video entertainment available on each flight. b.spirit! is multilingual with features in English, French and Flemish.
The passangers
b.spirit! reaches a higher percentage of affluent AB1 travellers than any other airlines’ inflight magazine. Passengers aboard these flights comprise executive travellers and business entrepreneurs who choose Brussels Airlines as a trusted source to travel both efficiently and economically.
Editor's note
With b.spirit! my primary purpose is to excite passengers about business and travel in Africa by providing insightful features, interviews and guides that appeal to business and leisure travellers. To date b.spirit!, which is published in English, French and Dutch, has featured exclusive interviews with high-profile individuals – such as Senegalese music legend Youssou N’Dour and Kenyan Nobel Peace Prize winner Wangari Maathai, to name but a few. Travel and topical features written and illustrated by award-winning writers and photographers have covered subjects as diverse as child soldiers in Sierra Leone, surfing in Liberia, micro-finance loans in Uganda and the lesser known hotspots to holiday in across Africa.
