Discount airline Virgin Express said on Wednesday it hoped to get approval this year from Belgian regulators to merge with full-fare peer SN Brussels Airlines.
"We are hoping for a response before the end of the year," said a spokesman for British entrepreneur Richard Branson's Virgin Express.
Germany's competition authority recently told the two airlines it would leave Belgium to have the final say on the matter, he said.
Both airlines also had to notify the German competition authorities because Germany has a lower threshold than other European countries for firms to report to the authorities in terms of the business they do in that country.
SN Brussels and Virgin Express sealed the long-awaited deal in early October.
