| | Welcome to RAA 2002: SN Brussels undeterred by failed Virgin deal (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06) |
 | | SN Brussels Airlines, the former regional airline subsidiary of bankrupt Belgian flag carrier Sabena World Airlines, continues its search for a partner after merger discussions failed with low-fare carrier Virgin Express (AIN, April 2002, page 46). |
 | | Although investors had hoped to attract additional capital from Virgin Express, a company spokesman said that SN Brussels business plan considered the possibility of a failure to come to terms, and that its capital base remains sufficient to meet its short- and medium-term goals. |
 | | Although SN Brussels is considering the acquisition of 124-seat Airbus A319s for high-density routes such as Brussels-Amsterdam, for now its established ex-DAT fleet of six BAe 146-200s, 12 Avro RJ85s and 14 RJ100s appears fully capable of supporting its European regional network. |
