Remember Sabena? The 'Société anonyme belge d'Exploitation de la Navigation aérienne', better known by the acronym Sabena or SABENA, was the national airline of Belgium from 1923 to 2001, with its base at Brussels National Airport. After its bankruptcy in 2001, SN Brussels Airlines was formed through a takeover of former subsidiary Delta Air Transport and took over part of Sabena's assets in February 2002, which became Brussels Airlines after a merger with Virgin Express in March 2007. Brussels Airlines is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lufthansa which acquired a 45% share in 2009 and the remaining 55% in 2017. The airline's corporate headquarters were located in the Sabena House on the grounds of Brussels Airport in Zaventem. Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sabena |

Found in the Quebec Aerospace Museum (MAQ) newsletter, December 2022 We have this small souvenir dish commemorating the 25th anniversary of Quebecair in 1971, donated by Gérard Leblanc, retired professor from ÉNA. It is a very beautiful object which has thus joined the MAQ collection. A big thank you, therefore, to M. Leblanc. |
