SN Brussels and Virgin Express To Be One Brand

Belgium-based airlines SN Brussels and Virgin Express will operate under a single brand name within a year, the airlines have said. The duo are already jointed owned, and plan to announced the new brand by year's end, and operate under that brand starting in April 2007 when the summer flying season starts. Virgin Express is a low-cost airline that competes with Ryanair, while SN Brussels is the successor to Belgium's former national carrier Sabena.
