As befits the name direct scheduled flights from Belgium's Brussels
International Airport (BRU) at Zaventem to Banjul is operated
by the national carrier Brussels Airlines
which flies outward bound several times a week.
On the 15.09.09 Lufthansa and Brussels Airlines expanded their
codesharing services on long-haul routes to West Africa. Since
then Lufthansa passengers have a choice of four additional destinations
and seven new connections from Bruxelles among which are Banjul,
Abidjan (Ivory Coast), Douala und Yaunde (both Cameroon), Monrovia
(Liberia).
For flying passengers this gives you the added option of not just
the standard 7 or 14 night stays in Gambia but durations of 10
or 11 nights can be accommodated for in your travel plans.
To
show the point you can board your departure flight to Banjul (Yundum)
from Brussels Welcome to Europe (Terminal / Pier B) on a Sunday
for 11 nights and make your return journey on a Thursday. Likewise
you may choose to make your outbound journey for 10 nights on
a Thursday and make your return trip on a Sunday. This factor
as well as its geographical location means it can be used as a
transit connection airport with other routes whose airlines are
departing from Frankfurt, Germany, the rest of the EU, USA
or the Eastern Europe countries en route to Gambia.
