Brussels Airlines was formed in 2006 following the merger of SN Brussels Airlines and Virgin Express. As Belgium’s flag carrier and largest airline, it succeeded Sabena, the former national airline that ceased operations in 2001. Brussels Airlines initially focused on Europe and Africa, leveraging Belgium’s central location to connect key markets. In 2016, Lufthansa Group acquired full ownership of the airline, further integrating it into the Star Alliance network.
