Importante restructuration en perspective chez Sabena La Sabena est indéniablement confrontée à des problèmes financiers, mais cela ne veut pas dire que l'avenir de la compagnie est en danger. C'est ce qu'a annoncé le ministre fédéral des Entreprises et Participations, Rik Daems, à la VRT en réaction aux déclarations du tout nouveau CEO Christoph Müller concernant la situation précaire dans laquelle se trouve la Sabena.
