The Societé anonyme belge d\'Exploitation de la Navigation aérienne (French; lit. \'Belgian Limited Company for the Exploitation of Aerial Navigation\'), better known by the acronym Sabena or SABENA, was the national airline of Belgium from 1923 to 2001, with its base at Brussels National Airport. After its bankruptcy in 2001, the newly formed SN Brussels Airlines took over part of Sabena\'s assets in February 2002, which became Brussels Airlines after a merger with Virgin Express in March 2007.
For the 1958 world exposition in Brussels, Sabena leased two Lockheed Super Constellations from Seaboard World Airlines, using them mainly on transatlantic routes. In the same period, there were experiments with helicopter passenger service using Sikorsky S-58 aircraft from Brussels to Antwerp, Rotterdam, Eindhoven and the Paris heliport at Issy-les-Moulineaux.
