    European airliners almost dont operate in Australia and NZ today. After Qantas, I only see airplanes from East Asia, Middle East and USA on Australia, some from Chile and South Africa but never from european airliners since 2000.
    Nowadays most people who fly from Europe (and Africa) to Oceania stop over in either the Arabian Peninsula or SE Asia, not least because being stuck on the same plane for around 24 hours is deeply unpleasant.

    Even so, British Airways and Qantas still fly directly between Britain and Australia. Further, Air New Zealand has a daily flight from Heathrow to Auckland via LA (they used to have one via Hong Kong too).

    @Rouxinol: I looked again at Brussels and Lisbon Airports for flights to Africa.

    BRUSSELS
    Algeria, Angola, Benin, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cameroon, Cape Verde, DRC, Egypt, Ethiopia, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Ivory Coast, Liberia, Morocco, Rwanda, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Togo, Tunisia, Uganda

    LISBON
    Algeria, Angola, Cape Verde, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Ivory Coast, Morocco, Mozambique, Sao Tome, Senegal, Togo, Tunisia

    What's more, I should have put Barcelona as a secondary hub for flights to Latin America: there are direct flights from there to Mexico, Colombia, Peru, Brazil, Argentina and Chile.

    Let's also add Amsterdam as a secondary hub to the Caribbean, given all its flights to the Dutch Antilles and Suriname.

    Perhaps also Vienna, Warsaw and Moscow-Sheremetyevo for North America as secondary hubs.

    I stop over to cut costs. Flying directly with KLM or Lufthansa is kinda expensive so I resorted to using Turkish Airways or Emirates.

    I have to admit: I have a dream. I wish that the airports in and around London could combine their might with all the Dutch and Belgian airports as well as the governments of the UK and the Benelux and create a new airport from scratch on the North Sea (in front of the Dutch coast) to be shared between the three countries and linked with road and rail tunnels (and a ferry port) to the Dutch and British mainlands and high speed rail connections connecting them inside the Dutch and Belgian mainland (connecting them to the German network). Then we can close down a lot host of airfields - from Heathrow, Gatwick and Stansted, to Schiphol, Zaventem, Eindhoven, Zestienhoven, Liege, Maastricht-Aachen etc. Then we can finally reuse all the land that is now being used for airports and improve our quality of life and our infrastructure. It will cost billions (if not trillions) but it's totally worth it: we'd get a second and third "Channel Tunnel" ( but then across the North Sea which would be the single longest tunnel in the world), new high speed rail connections and a lot more space for housing, parks and offices (it would solve Amsterdam's, London's, Rotterdam's, Eindhoven's, Brussels', Antwerp's, Maastricht's, Liege's, Charleroi's housing situation) and become the single largest airport/hub in the world. Overnight.

    Let's call this bitch: "North Sea International" Now, THAT is how you put yourself on the map !

    How many passengers annually? There is a lot of traffic from Madrid to the Caribbean, decent amount out of Manchester, Dusseldorf, Brussels, maybe a couple of others.

    Almost all flights from Madrid to the Caribbean involve the three Spanish-speaking countries of Cuba, PR and DR. The other European airports you mentioned may have some charter flights to the Caribbean, but rarely if ever scheduled ones.

    No longer to Peru, Brazil or Chile, but on the other hand there are seasonal scheduled flights to the DR.

    UPDATE

    Air New Zealand has axed all flights to Britain. As for flights to Africa:

    BRUSSELS
    No Burkina Faso or Guinea

    LISBON
    No Togo but instead Gambia and South Africa
