We are now 9 years after the bankruptcy of Sabena, but the logo is still used in Shangai. The picture is taken in Shangai-Pudong international Airport. Next to the SN flightnumber (codeshare, operated by Hainan)the Sabena logo is shown. :P
Noting special, but it's nice to see that this logo is still used 9 years after the bankruptcy. :lol:

Yep,

Still more Sabena..
Last year my AZ ticket for CTA changed;
instead of via FCO with AZ my flight was via MXP,
' flight operated by 'code-share' SABENA ! ' on my ticket/info sheet with e-ticket !

Still think also that a LOT of pax still use Sabena instead of Brussels,
thanks to the SN flightnumber!

CX-B

Still prefer the Sabena name above Brussels Airlines.. :mrgreen:
Pity they didn't adopted the name and went for Brussels..
Under the LH umbrella the Sabena name still would have more status..
but that's just history..
New types flown 2024 : DO228, A338 , PC6

In the U.S., this kind of thing is pretty common too. I haven't seen Sabena anywhere here, but the Swissair name and logo seems to soldier on in some airport signage. Phoenix's terminal 3 is legendary for this, where you'll still see the names "Midwest Express," "American Trans Air", and I think "Midway" too.

From what I've heard, the burden falls on the airline to make sure airports change names over. During the merger, I know Delta made a point of erasing the 'Northwest/KLM' name from airport signage.

Still, nice to see Sabena live on in Shanghai! :)
