In his career, Aldo Vastapane made investments in various businesses. Notably, he played a significant role in the development of duty-free stores (Skyshops) in multiple countries, with his first venture at Brussels Airport.
After the bankruptcy of Sabena at the end of 2001, which occurred just a few weeks after the September 11 attacks in New York, Aldo Vastapane assumed control and revitalised Sobelair, the former charter subsidiary of Belgium’s flagship airline. He had a deep passion for aviation and South Africa, where he owned property, and he launched flights to Johannesburg. Unfortunately, this aviation venture was short-lived, as Sobelair, unable to generate sufficient profitability, filed for bankruptcy in January 2004.
