History: SN Brussels Airlines was formed on June 1 1966 as Delta Air Transport, renamed during 1988 to DAT (Belgian Regional Airline) and during 1996 becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of SABENA. With their demise on November 7 2001, DAT took over most of the European network from November 10 on. Part of the African network was restored from April 26 2002 on, via a contract with Birdy Airlines which supplied three long haul aircraft. Its current name was officially adopted on February 15 2002 after its take over by SN Air Holding. During early 2003, the 32 strong Avro RJ/BAe146 fleet was accompanied by three ex Sabena A319 introducing a new corporate livery. On October 27 2004 Birdy Airlines and their fleet was absorbed into SN Brussels Airlines. On April 12 2005 SN Holding took full stake in Virgin Express, and on March 31 2006 it was announced that the low cost carrier would be merged with full service airline SN Brussels Airlines. On November 7 2006, exactly five years after the bankruptcy of Sabena, the new name and corporate identity was unveiled: Brussels Airlines and the "new" airline became operational on March 25 2007.
