Une fois de plus, le combiné est donc mis en avant. Parallèlement, la demande du marché est bien repartie.

- Importante restructuration en perspective chez Sabena
La Sabena est indéniablement confrontée à des problèmes financiers, mais cela ne veut pas dire que l'avenir de la compagnie est en danger. C'est ce qu'a annoncé le ministre fédéral des Entreprises et Participations, Rik Daems, à la VRT en réaction aux déclarations du tout nouveau CEO Christoph Müller concernant la situation précaire dans laquelle se trouve la Sabena. Dans deux interviews téléphoniques avec respectivement le Financial Times et le SonntagsZeitung (suisse), Müller a déclaré que des licenciements ne peuvent pas être exclus. Il a ajouté qu'il envisage de vendre éventuellement la filiale de catering à d'autres filiales du SAirGroup. Les syndicats réagissent avec colère.
