The flights will be operated by the new, high technological Boeing 737 Max 9. Two aircraft will be based at Brussels Airport.
“We are pleased to welcome Primera Air to Brussels Airport with nonstop flights from Brussels Airport to several destinations in North America. The arrival of Primera Air with its low-fare services once again confirms that Brussels Airport offers the widest choice of airlines for all types of passengers. A new route for our airport is Boston, home to many pharmaceutical and biotech companies which are also a key industry in our country. We also look forward to being the gateway to Europe and Belgium for an increasing number of American visitors”, explains Arnaud Feist, CEO of Brussels Airport Company.
Primera Air is a low-fare Nordic airline that operates flights from Europe to more than 70 destinations across the Mediterranean, Middle East, Asia, Caribbean and North America.

Anastasija Visnakova, Chief Commercial Officer of Primera Air: “Our mission is to make expensive transatlantic travel a thing of the past and we are glad to bring low fare, long-haul flights to Brussels. It will give an opportunity for local travellers to fly to the US and Canada in a more affordable way as well as bring more North American travellers to Brussels.”
