Sabena's present-day iteration, Brussels Airlines, still serves 14 African capitals, including many such as Monrovia and Kigali where it remains the only intercontinental connection. This handsome, artful first day cover from 13 April 1971 shows high a priority Africa was for the Belgian flag-carrier. Type of Aircraft and connections of the route are not stated on the envelope.
