Raise a glass to Sobelair, the Brussels-based airline that carried Belgian aviation from postwar beginnings into the age of holiday charters. Its first revenue flight took flowers to Nice in a Douglas DC-3, and later generations of travelers knew the carrier for Mediterranean journeys and changing aircraft eras. This pint glass brings a distinctive piece of airline history to relaxed evenings, collector displays, and conversations about the routes that shaped European leisure travel.
Sobelair was a Belgian charter airline founded on 30 July 1946 as Société d'Etude et de Transports Aériens (SETA). Its first revenue flight, on 15 October 1946, carried flowers to Nice via Paris in a Douglas DC-3. From 1947 it also flew scheduled services from Brussels to Elisabethville for companies in the Belgian colony. In 1949, Sabena acquired shares amounting to 72.29 percent of the airline. After Congo became independent, Sobelair ended its African service and focused on Mediterranean holiday charters, alongside domestic flights from 1957 to 1962. It entered the jet era in 1971 with a Caravelle, later operating Boeing 707s and then an all-Boeing 737 fleet. Long-haul service returned in 1994 with a Boeing 767-300. The airline worked with Crossair and Swissair on charter operations, and signed a tour-operator contract with Jetair in the late 1990s. Following the 2001 collapse of Swissair and Sabena, Sobelair was acquired by investors in June 2002 and launched Brussels–Johannesburg scheduled service. It passed to SN Brussels Airlines in early 2003, operating charters, but declared bankruptcy in January 2004. A creditor-protection request was rejected on 19 January, ending operations.

A sturdy 16oz pint glass that brings a little roadhouse spirit to everyday pours. The clear tempered glass showcases whatever you fill it with — amber beer, cold brew, or fresh juice — while a bold vintage-inspired script wraps the side for a subtle, nostalgic touch. It feels solid in the hand, resists everyday wear, and pairs easily with bar carts, kitchen counters, or a laid-back backyard table. Wash gently by hand to keep the lettering sharp and the glass crystal-clear. Built from tempered materials and assembled in the USA, this glass fits into evenings spent swapping stories, weekend morning routines, or those slow, quiet moments when a simple drink matters.
