BelgiumExel was a Belgian airline owned by ExelAviation Group. It operated charter flights to Africa, Asia, and the Caribbean as part of holiday packages for Thomas Cook AG, and it functioned as the sister airline of HollandExel.[1] The airline was established and started operations on 15 February 2004 to cover the gap left by the closure of Sobelair. However, services ceased on 31 January 2005 after the tour operator terminated its contract due to financial difficulties, and in May 2005, ExelAviation Group subsequently declared bankruptcy.
