Interesting one for the legally minded amongst us.
Sabena is being liquidated. This means the following:
1) Its assets are to be sold off to the highest bidder (this includes DAT as a wholly owned subsidiary)
and
2) The Sabena two letter designator (SN) and three digit accounting code (082) are correspondingly no longer valid.
As the creditors have not been consulted on the sale of DAT or transfer of any other assets (including asset stripping by SN by handing over traffic rights and slots to its subnsidiary - assets which rightfully belong to the creditors); how can DAT operate?
Also, how can DAT operate under SN flight numbers - especially as it has its own designator (QG) - as surely by operating as a Sabena flight it is leaving itself open to having the aircraft seized by creditors (eg Eurocontrol, airports, handling companies etc).
Looks rather badly thought out to me - I suspect there will be tears before bedtime with this one!
