Brussels, July 18, 2025 - The world is coming together in Belgium this summer as Brussels Airlines and Tomorrowland once again unite to create a magical beginning for thousands of People of Tomorrow. Even though a fire damaged the mainstage of the festival, the festival continues, and so do the legendary party flights. Over 25,000 Global Journey travelers from 165 countries will make Belgium the beating heart of global unity and music. In addition, Tomorrowland offers Global Journey itineraries by train, bus and even bike for the world to reach Tomorrowland.

Wednesday July 16, the first party flight of the year - SN1687 from Ibiza - landed at Brussels Airport, with 180 festivalgoers, soundtracked by Belgian DJ Nina Black.

It’s my third year playing at Tomorrowland and every year they give me new and exciting opportunities to elevate my sets, this time quite literally, with a party flight. I’m incredibly grateful for how far this journey has taken me. Playing in Ibiza this year is a real 'full-circle' moment - another dream crossed off the bucket list.”
- Nina Black, DJ on the Tomorrowland party flight

This is just one of seven exclusive party flights departing from cities like Barcelona, Copenhagen, and Vienna, offering over 1,000 passengers an experience unlike any other in the world. Complementing these flights, ten Gate Parties are being held at airports across Europe, igniting the Tomorrowland spirit from the moment guests arrive at the airport.

“When the idea of organizing party flights was first introduced, it certainly raised some eyebrows. The challenges were significant, and many considered it an unrealistic ambition. But at Brussels Airlines, we believe that bold ideas are worth pursuing. With careful planning, close collaboration, and a determination to innovate, we turned a daring concept into a unique reality. Today, our party flights remain a one-of-a-kind experience in commercial aviation, and a testament to what’s possible when passion meets perseverance.”

Amare: The flying icon of unity
Brussels Airlines and Tomorrowland have been working together since 2012, and recently renewed their collaboration through 2028. The partnership is built on shared values: connecting cultures, exploring the world and unity.

Launched in April 2024, Amare is a specially designed Airbus A320neo co-created by Brussels Airlines and Tomorrowland. The aircraft's vibrant design reflects the energy of the music festival, with dynamic motion, magical energy lines, and elements taken from the Tomorrowland universe where Amare plays a key role in stories and on stage.

In their continued efforts toward more sustainable travel, Brussels Airlines and Tomorrowland only offer Green Fares as part of Global Journey packages, allowing travelers to purchase Sustainable Aviation Fuel, offset their personal flight-related CO₂ emissions and support a more eco-conscious aviation.

“This year, we have nearly 50,000 people who come to Tomorrowland with a Global Journey, a record! We welcome over 25,000 people by plane, but for shorter distances we also offer journeys by train, bus and even bike. We have live DJ-sets on trains from Düsseldorf and Amsterdam, and we also strongly promote carpooling to help reduce our environmental footprint, all while keeping the spirit of unity and togetherness alive on every journey.” ​
- Debby Wilmsen, spokesperson Tomorrowland
