History
The airline was founded by Rob Kuijpers, former CEO of Brussels Airlines and DHL. It started operations on October 14, 2007. In 2009 the company announced its move from Brussels Airport to Liège Airport, more flexible with its 24/7 opening hours. The airline ceased operations on July 1, 2009 after failing to receive tenders. On that same day Cargo B went bankrupt and terminated all operations.[2]
