Boeing B.737-36N OO-VEN operato dalla Brussels Airlines Fly in rullaggio a Ginevra/Cointrin nel maggio 2007. Si tratta di uno dei B.737 proveniente dalla low-cost Virgin Express, all’epoca appena acquistata dalla SN Airholding, proprietaria di SN Brussels Airlines. Le due compagnie aeree risultanti, del tutto integrate dal punto di vista operativo, erano state ridenominate Brussels Airlines e Brussels Airlines Fly. Virgin Express, a sua volta, era nata nel 1996 dall’incorporazione della EuroBelgian Airlines (EBA), una compagnia della prima generazione low-cost creata nel 1991. EBA prima e Virgin Express poi non erano mai riuscite a trovare spazi operativi adeguati, strette tra i colossi easyJet e Ryanair. (Aeromedia)
Boeing B.737-36N OO-VEN operated by Brussels Airlines Fly taxies at Geneva/Cointrin airport in May, 2007. It is one of the B.737 jetliners of former Virgin Express, a low-cost airline just bought by SN Airholding, the parent company of SN Brussels Airlines. The two resulting airlines, although with fully integrated operations, were renamed Brussels Airlines and Brussels Airlines Fly. Virgin Express was set up in 1996 after the incorporation of EuroBelgian Airlines (EBA), an early low-cost airline established in 1991. Both EBA and Virgin Express failed to expand their business, squeezed between easyJet and Ryanair. (Aeromedia)
