	La Sabena 1923-2001: des origines au crash Journal of Transport History, The - Find Articles
		While other airlines moved inexorably towards full nationalisation, Sabena was the object of an unusual public-private bargain, struck in 1923 and enduring until 1960, by which the Belgian state and the Belgian Congo each owned roughly 25 per cent of the airline's equity, the remainder being held by Belgian banks.
		Sabena's involvement in the Congo was more intense and enduring than that of Air France, BOAC or KLM in the French, British and Dutch colonies.
		Worse still, Sabena continued to be involved in Congolese politics after 1960, with substantial revenue locked up in Congolese currency and hostage to the excruciating complexities of President Mobutu's relations with Belgium.

		The order strained Sabena's already precarious finances to the breaking point and was the root cause of the carrier's collapse last November, the worst business failure in Belgian history, which destroyed 8,000 jobs and prompted the establishment of a parliamentary commission of inquiry, which next month will hear testimony from Prime Minister Guy Verhofstadt.
		By the 1980s Sabena was being lampooned as a bottomless pit.
		Sabena signed a costly eight-year code-sharing agreement with Richard Branson's Virgin Express in 1996, under which Virgin flew some Sabena routes to London and other European destinations — though the board apparently was only told about a one-year deal.

	RTE Business - EU approves Sabena loan, but Aer Lingus 'different'
		EU Transport Commissioner Loyola de Palacio said the green light was given to Sabena because the bridging loan was 'closely in line' with strict 1999 guidelines for state aid to rescue companies on the verge of collapse.
		Sabena was already trying to put its financial house in order when the September 11 attacks in the US triggered a sudden drop in passenger numbers on airlines worldwide.
		But problems were aggravated when Swissair, which owns 49.5% of Sabena, failed to come through with a scheduled capital injection when it ran out of cash to sustain its own operations.

	Plan for new airline post-Sabena faces doubts

		O'Leary called Sabena, the partly privatized carrier that dominates Belgian airspace, a bunch of "swindlers" engaged in "daylight robbery" because of their "outrageously high prices." That's not exactly how most major airlines announce new routes.
		Sabena's brief, also available on Ryanair's Web site, said Ryanair's publicity efforts were "provoking and denigrating and misleading the consumer in a cunning way." Sabena also charges Ryanair misused Sabena's trademark.
		Sabena is seeking 16,747 Belgian francs (about $350) in costs, 10 million Belgian francs (more than $200,000) in damages and, of course, an end to the ads.
