the more A330 TG is getting with new ZIM-seats for operations on its regional routes in Asia (delivery one per month) the more they can deploy the 777s on other (new) routes.....in BRU they have the advantage that there is no other East Asian airline operating (besides Jet and Hainan) and no local home carrier with longhaul flights. This gives BRU a big advantage to AMS.
TG also has its own office there already while its AMS office was closed already years ago.

Plus Brussels is home to a partner Star alliance carrier - Brussels airlines. another good reason to choose Brussels over Amsterdam. Although I likely won't fly this route its nice to see a new addition to the network.

TG last flew this route in 1993 code-shared with Sabena who are long-gone but not forgotten!
at the time BRU also hosted MH on as part of KUL-DXB-FRA-BRU, and for a brief period SQ on SIN-BRU-JFK but i can't see either of those two returning...
