The aircraft was ex Sabena, which had ceased operations. This short-lived airline began operations as VG Airlines in May 2002. The name came from the founder Freddie Van Gaever. This particular aircraft, however, was painted from the outset to promote the Delsey luggage brand (whose owner also had a stake in the airline). Eventually he acquired 100% ownership and, in August 2002, the airline was rebranded Delsey Airlines. It ceased operations in Nov 2002.
