As an extension of the Sabena/Swissair equity alliance, the respective charter subsidiaries will begin joint flights in July. Sobelair and Balair/CTA, the latter operated by Swissair subsidiary Crossair (but retaining the name for long-haul flights), are co-operating on a Brussels-Zurich-San Francisco route, to be flown by the Belgian company's 270-seat Boeing 767-300ER. The aircraft will be crewed by Sobelair pilots and a mix of Sobelair and Balair/CTA cabin staff. Further joint services are planned.
