Sabena (the Belgian airline whose name is an acronym for Société Anonyme Belge d'Exploitation de la Navigation Aérienne) was the first major airline to operate scheduled helicopter service. The company started this program in 1953, operating between Brussels and other European capitals. Here distinguished and well-dressed passengers are depicted leaving a helicopter to board a Sabena jet to take them further afield in their travels.
