Air Belgium has known some serious evolutions through the last years. Founded in 1979, it was the airline of the Belgian tour operator Sun International (more famous in Belgium through the name of its main operator, Sunair). The company is still led by a relative (the son probably) of the the CEO of that time.

They flew through the years with two B737 (OO-ILJ see below and OO-???) and even a B757 (OO-ILI, below). They must have been the first or one of the first Belgian Airlines to fly a 757.

When times became harder, changes happened in the holding company, and Airtours came in, having the 737-400 repainted a fist and then a second time (below) and introducing two Airbus A320-200 (see below) in full Airtours livery.

It's been said here and there that major changes are still going to come (full Airtours control probably) but the name might be lost, Sabena, as "(ex-) national carrier", being very interested to have full control on this name.
 
 

	OO-ILJ, Air Belgium Boeing 737-400 in parking condition at Heraklion (Crete) in the mid nineties. The picture is not fantastic, but it's the only one I have to give a global view of the livery at that time.
	OO-ILJ, Boeing 737-400 (the same) still in classic livery at Palma de Mallorca (PMI) in June '89.
	OO-ILJ again, wearing an first "intermediate" (and very temporary) livery while things were changing at Sunair. Seen at Berlin Tegel in Jul '98. Excellent photo by Christian Uhrich.
	OO-ILJ, the same again and again, turning to get in line for take off at Teneriffe South (TFS) on Dec 19th '99. It wears teh present "second intermediate" livery, showing its affiliation to the Airtours group (WELG division) but there are enough noticable differences. The small sticker on the top of the first windows indicate that the plane is flying for two (!) airlines (also belonging totally or partially to the Airtours group) : FlyFTI and...Air Belgium. Almost no doubt that it will wear an uniform Airtours livery in a near future...
	OO-ILI, the only Boeing 757 in the fleet at that time (May 21st '98). Seen at Brussels. The plane is not in the fleet anymore. Photo by Martin Steiner.
	OO-AEY, Air Belgium A320-200 landing at Las Palmas on Nov. 13th '99. Full Airtours colors and little sticker above the first windows.
	OY- Premiair A320-200, same time, same place. Almost twins !!!... because belonging to two fleets that are subsidiaries of the same big (Airtours) group.
