La filialisation dABX réussira-t-elle le 5 octobre? La filiale de transport routier, dexpédition et de logistique de la SNCB, ABX Logistics, est à la croisée des chemins. Une nouvelle tentative de filialisation sera effectuée lors du conseil dadministation de la SNCB du 5 octobre, mais il nest pas certain que cela réussira. Les syndicats avaient réussi à torpiller lopération il y a un mois et il nest pas clair sils le feront à nouveau. Etienne Schouppe, ladministrateur délégué de la SNCB, demandera également au conseil dadministation dapprouver un programme dinvestissement de 250 mio. dEUR pour ABX, qui sera entre autres affecté à lacquisition dune impportante société de distribution aux Pays-Bas. Le forcing exercé par Schouppe est entre autres motivé par le fait que le 13 octobre, la composition du conseil dadministation devrait être très sensiblement modifiée et que tous les plans concernant ABX risquent dêtre revus.
La Sabena cliniquement morte suite au désistement de Swissair Maintenant que Swissair refuse de payer la première tranche (de 5 mia. de BEF) de linjection de capital promise de 10 mia. de BEF, il semble que les jours de la Sabena sont comptés. La compagnie aérienne nationale étudie la possibilité de poursuivre ses activités, mais ceci devra selon toute probabilité se faire sous concordat. Entre-temps, le gouvernement belge examine la possibilité daccorder un crédit de liaison et envisage dentamer des actions juridiques contre Swissair. Hier, les pilotes ont à nouveau repris le travail jusquà 18.00 heures, une nouvelle réunion de lassociation des pilotes devant renseigner sur une éventuelle poursuite des actions.
