time:matters has established a hub in Brussels, providing it access to 16 African destinations through Brussels Airlines’ network.

Through the Brussels hub, customers can access Abidjan, Accra, Banjul, Bujumbura, Conakry, Cotonou, Douala, Dakar, Entebbe, Freetown, Kigali, Luanda, Lomé, Yaoundé, Ouagadougou and Monrovia.

Customers will enjoy the same benefits as at other time:matters European hubs in Frankfurt, Munich and Vienna.

The African stations will offer import handling times starting at 120 minutes for time-critical shipments including spare and machine parts for the oil, shipbuilding, mining and food industries.

Of the 16 African stations, 14 will served with standardised express transport services and time:matters will offer 81 direct flights a week.

Thanks to the new hub in Brussels, we are in a position to offer our customers access to our highly efficient network with the usual level of reliability and speed.”
