[edit] History

TUI Airlines Belgium was created in March 2004 through the acquisition of most of the flights of Sobelair, which went bankrupt. Sobelair was the main airline used by tour operator Jetair, part of tourism group TUI AG, to carry Belgian tourists to their destinations. On November 23, 2005, Jetairfly acquired its current name due to the new marketing strategy of the TUI Group. On December 14, 2006 TUI announced that all its airlines will be rebranded as TUIfly by 2008.
