Air Belgium is still on course to add two Airbus A330-200s this year to support its growing passenger services, despite the uncertain economic outlook and signs of a looming recession on the back of high inflation, spiking energy prices, increased interest rates and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. “Demand and forward bookings for this winter are very good,” Air Belgium CEO Niky Terzakis told AIN, on the sidelines of an inaugural event this week for the airline’s new service from Brussels airport to Johannesburg and Cape Town, South Africa.
