The Société Anonyme Belge d’Exploitation de la Navigation Aérienne, in short SABENA, was created on 23 May 1923 at the instigation of King Albert I. But the company did not really begin to expand until after the Second World War.
From the 1980s, Sabena was confronted with financial worries and restructuring policies. The axe definitely fell on the company in November 2001.
