Sabena wasn't replaced by SN, Sabena went out of business and another company changed it's name to SN.... There is a difference to bankrupcty and change of names imho.
Needs to mention the Belgium government's subsidies to Sabena, without which Sabena would have been insolvent long before the fact. -- Pelladon 17:49, 5 September 2005 (UTC)
The photo of a Sabena A340 has been taken from www.airliners.net without the photographers permission, so I have removed it - Adrian Pingstone 22:05, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
"SABENA", "Sabena", or "sabena"? -- Mikeblas 03:26, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
I was once told that Sabena stands for 'Such a bad experience, never again'. After travelling with them, I didn't find it that bad, Brussels Airport on the other hand sucks.

SABENA's economy obviously was a real mess. If we are to believe the rumours, the company only made a profit once during its existance. It would be very interesting if someone could add some information about this. What were the reasons behind this economical disaster? J-C V 16:04, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
The section seems very subjective without any supporting references. Any references would be very useful. Otherwise, I would suggest either deleting the section or condensing the section. Gittinsj 01:25, 23 January 2007 (UTC)gittinsj
I Agree on this point. At the moment there is a trail (in Switserland) about the bankrupcy of Swissair and their involvement in the bankrupcy of Sabena. Maybe add that, or just drop this section.
Does it make sens to point to a website which does not exist? I would remove this old homepage of the company. -- Jangli ( talk) 17:59, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
Société anonyme is a standard commercial term for a limited liability company. Autonyme is an obscure linguistic or rhetorical term meaning self-referential. See fr:Société anonyme and fr:Autonymie. There is a typo on various web sites that corrupts the spelling-out of SABENA from Société anonyme to Société autonyme. Please do not copy this error into Wikipedia. -- Justinbb ( talk) 13:33, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
first mig jet in yugoslavian airforce was mig-21 (september 1962)
during the 50-is yugoslavia use american shooting stars, thunderjets and sabres.
if mig-15 indeed open fire on c-47, it was hungarian or soviet plane and c-47 probably violated hungarian air space —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.1.185.237 ( talk) 17:20, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
I am surprised to read <quote>the SABENA service ran on alternate weeks to an Air Afrique service</quote> : according to this same en.wikipedia, Air Afrique was only created in 1960. Who can explain/elaborate? Jan olieslagers ( talk) 11:03, 1 May 2011 (UTC)
In Kay Thompson’s 1957 book “Eloise in Paris”, 6 year old Eloise states “Sabena is the only airline that will allow you to travel with a turtle”. Eloise (books) are still in print and widely popular, so this reference may be worth putting in the article. For many, it may be the only reason they would know Sabena existed. Also, in this book, the Sabena flight from New York to Paris lands in Brussels, and a helicopter is then taken to Paris. This is odd, but the writer and illustrator had a sharp eye for detail, and this was very likely the case in 1957. Is this accurate, that Sabena did not go directly from New York to Paris? If so, some research into why would improve the article. 2A00:23C7:E287:1900:35D2:678B:5E02:62BF ( talk) 12:14, 31 October 2021 (UTC)
