Aviation is a volatile industry. Sabena was among many carriers
that did not survive. The collapse of parent Swissair left Sabena shareholders with no other
alternative than to restart.
Yet, without hesitation we can state that our projects were
significantly positive for the airline and we are proud to keep mentioning them in our track
record.
