| SN Brussels Airlines (SNBA) is a former national airline of Belgium, which mainly operated from Brussels Airport. SNBA was the trading name of the Belgian airline Delta Air Transport. SNBA was a full-service airline, connecting Brussels with the rest of Europe. It also flew to Africa, continuing Sabena's extensive network there. The airline merged with Virgin Express into Brussels Airlines which started operations on 25 March 2007. The airline was founded in 2002, when a group of Belgian investors (companies, financial institutions and regional investment companies, as well as the Brussels and Walloon governments), set up SN Airholding, headed by Etienne Davignon. After the 2001 bankruptcy of Sabena, Belgium's flag carrier airline, Belgium was left without a national airline. In February 2002, SN Airholding took over the Belgian airline DAT, a subsidiary of Sabena that had survived the bankruptcy, and changed its trading name to SN Brussels Airlines. SN Brussels Airlines Avro RJ85 From this point, a financial and strategic reorganization started, led by the former CEO Peter Davies and his consultant-adviser Prof. Jean Frederic Mognetti. Its ambitious task was to transform the company into a cash generator. The company achieved this transformation in three years. On 12 April, 2005 SN Brussels took holding control of Virgin Express and on 31 March, 2006 they announced their merger. On 7 November, 2006 they announced at a press conference held at Brussels Airport that the new airline would be called Brussels Airlines. The decision of the merger was led by financial interests and actually the result of an overwhelming pressure coming from shareholder leader Etienne Davignon. As a result, the team who had transformed the company decided to quit due to a conflict of interest with Davignon. In spite of being sold to a major which rivaled BA, Lufthansa, or Air France, Brussels Airlines stock holders wasted all the cash generated by the former team. |
