Mark a distinctive chapter of European aviation with a Delta Air Transport ceramic ornament. Founded in Antwerp in 1966, DAT progressed from air-taxi and charter work to scheduled flights for KLM between Antwerp and Amsterdam. Its story continued through Sabena ownership and the DAT Belgian Regional Airline and DAT Plus names, ending with its operations absorbed into Brussels Airlines in 2007. A thoughtful display piece for aviation-history collections, Belgian airline enthusiasts and anyone drawn to the changing identities of regional carriers.
Delta Air Transport (DAT) was founded in Antwerp, Belgium, in June 1966 by Frans Van den Bergh, initially providing air-taxi and charter services with three Cessna aircraft. Flight operations began in 1967, and on September 19 that year DAT started scheduled service from Antwerp to Amsterdam for KLM, using Beechcraft Queen Air feeder aircraft. Its fleet later expanded to include Douglas DC-3, CV440 and DC-6 aircraft, supporting charter work for KLM, Sabena, Crossair and BIAS. Compagnie Maritime Belge acquired a majority stake in 1973. A leased Boeing 720 briefly supported worldwide charter flights under the Delta International brand. Sabena acquired a 49 percent stake in 1986, and in 1996 bought KLM’s remaining share. DAT then became a wholly owned Sabena subsidiary, moved its headquarters to Brussels and adopted the name DAT Belgian Regional Airline. After Sabena collapsed in November 2001, DAT restarted flights and adopted the DAT Plus brand under SN Airholding. Its activities continued as SN Brussels Airlines and were ultimately absorbed into Brussels Airlines on March 25, 2007, after that carrier merged with Virgin Express.
