We would like to provide you with some further information on Air Belgium’s current situation and activities.
What is the current status of Air Belgium?
Air Belgium is currently undergoing a transition following the initiation of a transfer of undertakings under judicial control, approved by the Business Court of Walloon Brabant in September 2024.
This process ensures the continuity and takeover of the airline’s operations by new investors.
In December 2024, the Court accepted the offer to take over Air Belgium’s cargo operations from two investors already active in the air freight industry.
Does Air Belgium still operate flights?
Yes, Air Belgium continues to operate flights, cargo-only, for ACMI (Aircraft, Crew, Maintenance, Insurance) and charter services.
Scheduled passenger flights were discontinued in October 2023, and the company does not currently offer ACMI/Charter services for passenger transport, its fleet being exclusively composed of freighter aircraft.
What about the fleet?
Air Belgium continues to operate a fleet adapted to its cargo activities:
– 2 Boeing B747-8F aircraft
– 2 Airbus A330-243F aircraft
The cargo fleet is currently being expanded. Aircraft dedicated to passenger flights are no longer part of current operations.
What is the company’s next step?
The company is in a process of transfer, with the creation of a new entity supported by the same teams, a stable and expanding fleet, and the development of air cargo services.
The transfer is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2025. During this period, Air Belgium continues to operate cargo services.
Can we still contact Air Belgium for air services?
Yes, Air Belgium continues to fully operate cargo ACMI and Charter flights.
However, we are no longer able to provide passenger ACMI/charter services since December 2024. Options for relaunching these activities are still being explored.
