According to analysts of the aviation industry, part of Brussels Airlines’ success is that they have managed to stay clear of some of the more competitive airports.  Instead they have been directing their focus to secondary hubs in a few of the major cities in Europe.  One of these cities is Berlin, where the airline is just about the only carrier to serve the Tempelhof Airport in Germany, which is also predicted to go out of business in the next 3 months.

Even though most of the commercial airlines have pulled out already, Brussels Airlines is the only carrier who is still offering regular services for Brussels and Berlin.  The Tempelhof Airport is located just a little ways away from the city centre of Berlin and is very convenient for business travelers who need to get places fast and avoid the longer commute from Schoenefeld or Tegel, which are the 2 main hubs for the city.  For numerous years the airline has had a monopoly on the route for Berlin-Tempelhof and Brussels.

The airline has also been avoiding the competition at the busiest hubs in Europe by not servicing operations from airports and cities that already have a lot of carriers servicing them.  They don’t operate flights for Amsterdam or Paris, for example.  They also only offer the bare minimum services for Frankfurt and London since they are already served by carriers that are bigger and have more power than they do.  Even so, their modest presence is well balanced with the focus they have on operating in medium to large airports in Italy and Spain where they have been very successful in competing with low-cost airlines.
