Welcome on the Sabena Aeroclub website

The Sabena Aeroclub was founded on 11 September 1946.

In 1946, a small group of Sabena staff members (Belgian airline company) established a general aviation section: the SSTA. The objective of the new association was “to promote ‘the Art of Piloting and Navigating’”, as was announced by an early leaflet. The new formed club was open to employees of Sabena and of its branch offices. Austers (OO-SOC) and Piper Cubs (OO-EAB) were the first planes owned by the club. The planes flew of from the airport of Grimbergen (which existed since 1939, previously as a military spare airport).
