Happy Valentine’s Day!

February 14, 2008 by Evan Sparks

Once upon a time, there were two airlines. Each one was happy in its own way. Each had service to most parts of the country; each enjoyed extensive international connections, the former to Asia and the latter to Europe. Each had shiny new planes and hard-working staff members. But each airline sensed a void. They were missing something. There was a void in their hearts that could only be filled by. . . .

. . . each other.

(The investors will love the romance, and the wedding will pay off in the short run, but is the marriage built to last? Alas, no one has these thoughts on Valentine’s Day.)

Enjoy this video, based on the romance between Virgin Express and SN Brussels that produced Brussels Airlines.
