Swiss and Sabena to be reunited at last?

When Swissair bought Sabena, it was one of the first "successful" cross border acquisitions in Europe. That is, until they both went belly-up seven years ago. If, as looks likely now, Lufthansa buys into Brussels Airlines (subsequently formed out of Sabena's national (regional) replacement and a merger with Virgin Express), the two national airlines will be reunited - or at least will fall under the same ownership.
