According to Air Belgium, the company is facing financial difficulties due to a combination of external matters like the pandemic, the war in Ukraine, rising costs of fuel and wages, and reduced spending power of customers.
Earlier this year, the airline attracted new investments with the Chinese Hongyuan Group acquiring 49% of the shares but since then no new capital have been raised.
