A commercial court has granted Belgian national airline Sabena bankruptcy protection and reportedly given the government two months to turn the airline around.

Sabena filed for protection after its co-owner Swissair Group cancelled a USD123m payment and sought protection from creditors itself, The Associated Press reported. The carrier now has until 15 November to present a new restructuring plan.

The Belgian government has granted Sabena USD114m in bridge financing for one month yet this loan is only provisional until approval is received from the European Union.
