Description: from 1976 onwards the Sabena titles and logo were erased leaving only "operated by Publi-Air" titles but it remained available for some lucrative charters. From 1980 onwards it was laid up for a while and was finally exported to Zaïre as" 9Q-CXK" for Scibe on March 10 1981, leaving Brussels eight days later in the basic Sabena livery without titles.
