Share a little piece of Belgian aviation history with a Sobelair Infant Bodysuit. The Brussels airline began in 1946, and its first revenue flight carried flowers to Nice aboard a DC-3. In the decades that followed, Sobelair moved into Mediterranean holiday charters and the jet age, becoming part of the story of changing travel in Europe. This keepsake honors a distinctive airline name and its journey from postwar beginnings to its final operations in 2004.
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.
