History
The airline was established on 12 December 2001 by the Thomas Cook Group to serve the Belgian holiday market, and started operations on 13 March 2002. Until January 2004, flight tickets could only be purchased via travel agencies as part of package tours; since then individual seat reservations are also possible. The airline has several sister companies, Thomas Cook Airlines, Thomas Cook Airlines Scandinavia and Condor, all of which have a joint fleet management.
In March 2017, parent company Thomas Cook announced to sell its Belgian operations to German Lufthansa. Therefore, Thomas Cook Airlines Belgium will be shut down by November 2017 with two aircraft and all traffic rights being handed to Brussels Airlines respectively. Its three remaining aircraft will be relocated to Thomas Cook Airlines Belgium's sister companies. This will lead to the layoff of 40 non-flying staff members.
Destinations
