Introduction
- Founded in January 2015 by Joeri Luckermans.
- A virtual airline that was based on the foundations of SN Virtual Airlines Group.
- The SN Virtual Airlines Group (SVAGroup) was founded on July 1st, 2001, shortly after Sabena went bankrupt and the original Sabena VA needed to transition to the newly formed national airline "SN Brussels Airlines".
- The concept was simple: recreate flights of Sabena and SN Brussels Airlines in the virtual world.
- After 13 years, it was time for a change!
- The original staff had left to pursue other challenges, and Joeri created what is now Brussels Airlines VA.
- Five years after first getting involved, one of Sabena VA's original founders, Tim Verbesselt, came back to help out the newly formed VA team. Now, he’s moving on, and we just want to give him a big thank-you for all his support and effort!
