Lufthansa eyes buying out rest of Brussels airport

Lufthansa’s supervisory board is to meet on April 27 to discuss buying the 55% of Brussels Airlines which it does not yet own, German newspaper Sueddeutsche Zeitung reported yesterday.

Lufthansa, which is due to hold its annual general meeting on April 28, declined to comment on the report.

Brussels Airlines is attractive for Lufthansa because of the business traffic which flows through its hub in the Belgian capital, where many EU institutions are based.
