    As a Belgian, I do NOT claim the airline as the airline of our country. Because it is just operated by the Chinese and Brussels Airlines is just THE Belgian airline. But it is still sad that they are bankrupt. I loved seeing them butter in Brussels and their crazy cargo pilots with the lowest take-off I have ever seen. RIP to Air Belgium
    PS: The livery of the 747F is just their old cargo livery, and Hongyuan Group payed for that aircraft so they wanted most of the livery and they were thinking that it was cool to make it look like a cargo box.

    Sad how airlines just go bankrupt. Air Belgium, Alitalia, and so much more. My national airline, Air Malta, is going into liquidation due to loss of profit since ~2010, but got worse due to covid. I kinda got over it, but I'll certainly miss the livery and the name.
    I still have time to appreciate the airline's last moments since it will be replaced by a new airline on 30/31 March 2024.

    I remember they leased their Romanian registered A340 aircraft to Spicejet which they are using for seasonal high demand destinations...Infact i spotted one at Srinagar (SXR) for its Haj travelers...and i don't really know why it had a titles of "Legend Airlines"(never heard of that one 🤣).
    Edit:so the aircraft in question did indeed belong to a real airline Legend Airlines...im not sure if Air Belgium sold it to Legend Airlines after it being leased to Spicejet...since both liveries are sort of similar.
