Belgian Airlines has sparked controversy with a recent joke posted on social media, leaving many wondering if the airline's attempt at humor fell flat or was just a misguided attempt at being relatable. The airline's tweet, which has since been deleted, is believed to have referenced the country's complicated politics and divided regions. The move has raised eyebrows, with some accusing the airline of being insensitive to the nation's complex identity. As Belgium continues to navigate its unique cultural landscape, the question remains: was the airline's joke a clever attempt at levity or a misstep that will leave a sour taste for many.


"We think the joke speaks for itself," said Belgium's flag carrier.
