🇧🇪 About the Airline
Sabena (Société Anonyme Belge d'Exploitation de la Navigation Aérienne) was the national airline of Belgium from 1923 until its bankruptcy in 2001. Known for its blue and white livery with the distinctive crane logo, Sabena operated an extensive network connecting Brussels to destinations across Europe, Africa, and North America. The airline was particularly noted for its strong presence in African routes, a legacy of Belgium's colonial history. Today, Sabena models remain highly collectible among aviation enthusiasts as tributes to this historic European carrier.
