New airline Air Belgium wishes to break into Asian market next year
Several Belgian businessmen are collaborating in the take-off of a new airline. One of these businessmen is Niky Terzakis, the former managing director of TNT Airways, based in Liège. Using the trading name Air Belgium, he wishes to operate flights between Belgium and Asia from next year. In the 80s and 90s, there was a charter airline using the name Air Belgium. It offered flights to the Mediterranean, on behalf of the former company Sunair. The new company’s business plan principally entails offering flights to China and other cities of the Far East and South East Asia. Terzakis says that the first Air Belgium flights should take place in Q2 or Q3 of 2017. The company is likely to focus on long haul flights. The company has yet to decide which airport to operate from (Brussels or Liège) and which type of plane to use. <br/>
