SN Brussels starts long haul
Sn Brussels Airlines will start long haul operations on 26 april 2002. The first destinations will be: Kinshasa, Entebbe, Kigali, Nairobi, Dakar, Banjul, Conakry and Monrovia. In june, Duala, Yaounde and Luanda will be added to the network.. .Not BMI not VG Aitways or Sobelair will fly these lines. According to the Belgian Newspaper 'De Standaard', Brussels Airlines will cooperate with a new airline to be formed by former Citybird bosses Victor Hasson and Georges Gutelman. They will operate 3 airbusses with Belgian pilots (about 50) and cabin crew (about 150), mainly ex-Sabena employees.
Let's hope this will be true, and Brussels Airlines can start operating on the former routes where Sabena was the TOP: Africa !!
