    Wow. If they go bankrupt, it will result in total chaos for people stuck at their holiday destinations and people not able to travel! Is Thomas Cook Belgium seperated fro them?

    In total, Sabena operated 34 aircraft of the A320 family. Three A321’s, six A320’s and twelve A319’s. The total orderbook counted 34 aircraft of these familiy. 21 in total were delivered.

    Sabena operated two MD-11’s on a very expensive lease. This was one of the worse decisions they ever made, it cost them millions to train the crew for it (previously working on 747 or airbus). These aircraft were operated to Johannesburg and had nothing of Inflight entertainment on board (maybe it did for the B class). Instead newspapers were given. The flights to JNB had a load factor of over 70%, but were still a big loss. How do you manage that.
    In the picture, it’s trying to kill it’s loved AND hated partner airline. Their worse decision.

    Landing at Brussels. Sabena (actually Delta Air Transport for the regional routes) had a few BAe 146-200’s, and many Avro RJ 85’s and -100’s. All these aircraft are now flying for SNBA.
    Nice aircraft, always liked it.

    Sabena lost less than 500 lives in their complete history, making it one of the safest airlines. Most people were killed in the older aircraft, the last fatal accident being a 707 crashed around Brussels because of a failure of the horizontal stabilizer. The pilots kept circling around untill the tanks were empty. Doomed to crash, knowing you’re gonna crash!

    This A330-300 (nowadays still flying for SNBA) is landing in Montreal Dorval in September 2001.

    Oops. This A342 was coming from JFK when the right main landing gear collapsed, which took half the horizontal stabilizer with it. The crew reacted immediately by shutting down all engines. The aircraft was repaired and then sold to some African airline (the aircraft is now again in other hands.

    My favourite 737 series. I assume none of the -500’s was repainted in the new colors.

    One of their major steps into the European regional Industry. The acquisition of Boeing 737-200-300-400-500’s.
    This series -400, OO-SYD is seen at Barcelona in 1995.

    This B747-100 is seen at JFK in 1974. Whole Belgium was very enthusiast when this beauty landed in the beginning of the 70ies in Brussels. The first 747 visiting Belgium was owned by Pan American, I believe that was in 1971.

    This Boeing 737-200 Advanced convertible (only transported passengers), Was the only to be repainted in the new colors. The last 732 was replaced in the year 2000 (not sure).

    DC7 seen at JFK in 1959.
    The reason Sabena not immediately ordering the DC8, despite being a constantly fleet-renewing airline, is that they didn’t believe in a big sucess for jet aircraft. So they waited and then ordered a better version of the 707; a wise decision.

    Where is TNT actually based? Do they fly to Brussels? I tought Liege Bierset was their primar Belgian hub for the moment.
