SN Brussels requests an initial foreign air carrier permit, and by corresponding application, exemption authority, to provide scheduled foreign air transportation of persons, property and mail pursuant to 49 U.S.C. § 41301 between a point or points behind Belgium, via Belgium and intermediate points, to a point or points in the United States and beyond. SN Brussels does not currently plan to implement service directly to the U.S. using its own aircraft and crew. It will operate these routes under a codeshare arrangement with American Airlines. SN Brussels proposes to commence service on or about March 31, 2003. SN Brussels requests this authority pursuant to the U.S.-Belgium Air Transport Agreement signed September 5, 1995. This agreement is an open skies agreement allowing U.S. and Belgian carriers access to all points within the other nation, as well as behind, intermediate and beyond rights. American Airlines and SN Brussels will be filing a Joint Application for a Statement of Authorization to Codeshare. The Joint Application will contain the initial points that SN Brussels intends to serve.

SN Brussels and American Airlines will file a separate request for a Joint Statement of Authorization to Codeshare pursuant to 14 C.F.R Part 212.

SN Brussels was created as DAT, Delta Air Transport N.V. in 1966 and initially provided feeder air services for Sabena and later KLM as well, utilizing DC3, DC6 and Convair aircraft. KLM became a 40% stockholder in 1976. In 1985, Sabena acquired 49.99 % of the company's shares, while KLM reduced its stake to 33.33 %. Over the years Sabena further increased its ownership interest in SN Brussels, which consequently terminated services for carriers other than Sabena in 1991. SN Brussels acted as Sabena's "low-cost airline" in Sabena's corporate strategy. With the increased ownership and increased traffic provided by Sabena, SN Brussels increased its aircraft fleet. Sabena's ownership of SN Brussels reached 99.9 % in 1996.

Following Sabena's bankruptcy in November 2001, SN was taken over by its current shareholders. In 2002, the trade name of the company was changed to SN Brussels Airlines. Today, SN Brussels acts as a regional European carrier and serves over 34 European and 13 African cities from Brussels. SN Brussels transports nearly 10,000 passengers on almost 300 flights daily. Currently, SN Brussels has a number of codeshare relationships with airlines such as Iberia, British Airways, Virgin Express, Finnair and Swiss to enhance its route network.
