\\Tulpar Air 1998 Tulpar Air (1991-2014) IATA: TY ICAO: TUL CALLSIGN: TULPAR Tulpar Air was based in Kazan (Tatarstan), Russia, and was established in late 1991. In 1998, the airline was small flying a pair of YAK 42s to a handful of cities in the region, but as the airline crew into the 2000s, it added several planes and began to codeshare with UTAir. By 2010, Tulpar had the worst on-time statistics of any airline in Russia, and troubles continued until the carrier finally shut down in early 2014. The aircraft wore a blue and white livery with a cool design in 1998, it does not appear to have been painted yet. There was evidence of some charter flights to Prauge (PRG) and Vienna (VIE) so I added those. Flightplans by Aleck, I added the charter flights.

\\Bugulma Air Enterprise 1998 Bugulma Air Enterprise (1953-2015) IATA: 2B ICAO: BGM CALLSIGN: BUGAVIA Bugulma Air Enterprise was an airline with its head office at Bugulma Airport in Bugulma, Russia. It operated regional scheduled and charter passenger services. Its main base was Bugulma Airport. In 1998, the airline had one scheduled route between Kazan(KZN) and Bugulma (UUA), but as I found evidence of charters to Moscow at the time, I have included those as well. Due to financial difficulties, the airline filed for bankruptcy and suspended scheduled passenger services from 12 January 2015 and planned to lease its fleet of 15 CRJ-200 aircraft to other airlines. Flightplans by Aleck, I did the charters. Repaint is needed. YAK-40: YAK-40 charters: Download Bugulma Air Enterprise 1998 Flightplans Here

\\Mavial Magadan Airlines 1998 Mavial Magadan Airlines (1993-2006) IATA: H5 ICAO: MVL CALLSIGN: MAVIAL Mavial Magadan Airlines was an airline based at Magadan, Russia, operating Tupolev Tu-154 and Ilyushin Il-62M aircraft. The airline was one of many founded around 1993 with the fall of the Soviet Union and the division of Aeroflot. Most routes were on the East Coast of Russia, however, a route to Seattle (SEA) via Anchorage was also operated in 1998. As of summer 2006, it was the only airline flying between the Russian Far East and the American state of Alaska. The airline suspended commercial operations in July 2006 with debts of around $18 million. It has not declared bankruptcy. Flightplans by Aleck. Repaints needed.

\\Karat 1998 KARAT (1993-2007) IATA: V2 ICAO: AKT CALLSIGN: AVIAKARAT Karat (Karat Air) was an airline based in Moscow, Russia, one of many airlines formed in the early 1990s from the break of the Soviet Union and Aeroflot. The airline was established in 1993 as Karat Air Company (formerly known as Rikor). It operated scheduled services from Moscow and charter flights from Kazan, as well as VIP and business aviation services. Its main base was Vnukovo International Airport, Moscow. The airline flew several routes into Western Europe, and the planes were a common site in places like PRG, MLA, SZG, and VIE as well as some Middle Eastern airports. In addition to these flights, the airline also flew regular charters to several Mediterranean and Greek holiday resort cities. In 2004 it merged with Tulpar Aviation to form Karat Air. Most of the fleet wore a white livery with KARAT tiles and logos, but 1 YAK-42 was still flying in an ex-Aeroflot hybrid livery in the late 1990s. The airline continued flying until 2007. I was unable to find any of the required textures on models compatible with P3Dv4. Flightplans by Aleck, and I added some charters based on photo and video evidence.

\\Angel Air 1999 Angel Air (1998-2003) IATA: 8G ICAO: NGE CALLSIGN: ANGEL AIR Angel Air was a Bangkok-based(DMK) Thai start-up carrier that began operations in 1998 with a 737-500, leased from MAS, flying a single DMK-HKT-SIN route. It was one of very few 90s start ups in the region, with Orient Thai in 1995 and PB Air in 1997 being the only other examples (other airlines were founded in the 1990s but did not start until after 2000). In 1999, the carrier added a 737-400 in a different livery which took over the original route while the 737-500 was used to offer additional flights from Chiang Mai(CNX), which became a focus city for the carrier, including a route connecting the new destination to SIN. By the year 2000, the 737s were replaced as the airline added more aircraft in the coming years, including a 757 leased from China Southwest Airlines, an L-1011 leased from Kampuchea Airlines, and an A300 leased from China Northern Airlines, all aircraft wearing the full livery of their owners. With the larger aircraft, routes were launched to Hong Kong from Thai cities. By 2003, the short-lived airline had failed, as did every other Thai carrier started between 1969 and 2003! Angel Air was not listed in the OAG books, so these flights are representative with the routing and general flight times being accurate.

\\PBAir 1999 PBAir (1997-2009) IATA: 9Q ICAO: PEEBEE AIR PBAir was a Bangkok-based(DMK) Thai carrier which was founded in 1990 but did not actually start passenger operations until 1997. Initially, the airline operated charters with a Do-328, but in late 1999, the first of 3 Fokker 28-4000's joined the fleet and the Do-328 began scheduled flights on behalf of Thai Airways and Air Andaman. However, as I do not have the schedule for these late 1999 flights, I elected to have the Do-328 flying charters as it did from 1997-1999. The Fokker 28, as well as doing some traditional charters, initially was mostly used to cover flights to SIN on behalf of Angel Air who was getting rid of their 737s by the end of 1999 in favor of a 757 and an A300. Thus, the Fokker 28 will mostly be seen in DMK and SIN. PBAir would later add 2 more Fokker 28s, as well as a 767-300 and a pair of ERJ-145s, eventually expanding into markets like Seoul(ICN) and Vietnam(DAD). Losses mounted with this expansion, and in 2009 the airline suspended operations and shut down, citing huge losses. Repaints needed. Fokker 28-4000: Do-328: Download PBAir 1999 Flightplans Here

\\Pacific Air Express 1998 Pacific Air Express (1993 - Present) IATA: PE ICAO: PAQ CALLSIGN: SOLPAQ Pacific Air Express was one of just 2 airlines based in the Solomon Islands in the 1990s, operating from the Honiara Airport(HIR), formerly known as Henderson Field built during WWII during the battle of Guadalcanal. The cargo airline was founded in 1993 by a Brisbane(BNE) businessman and connected HIR and BNE with several neighboring island nations. The company went through several aircraft in the first few years, starting with a B200 King Air from 1993-1994, followed by a 737-300QC from 1995-1996 until a 727-200F replaced the 737 and stuck around until 2001. Only 1 aircraft was operated a time with slight overlaps. In 1998, the 727-200F was usually spending the day on the DHL ramp in BNE awaiting freight for the night flight back home. While the aircraft was usually idle on weekends home in HIR(a rare chance to see it there in the afternoon), charters were sometimes operated, including a set of winter charters to Christchurch(CHC) in the late 1990s, so I included 1 of these flights. Flightplans are representative, but destinations, routing, and general flight times are accurate. In 1999, a bloody civil war broke out between 2 ethnic groups directly related to the relocation of the Malaita people for the WWII construction of Henderson Field to the territory of the Gwale people. The Gwale militia began a series of terror attacks on the now-long-settled Malaita who obviously did not plan on returning to their 1940s former territory, and the Malaita fought back resulting in 30,000 civilian deaths between 1999 and 2003, a significant portion of the population. Very soon after the fighting began, the owner's of Pacific Air Express decided to move the airline to Australia and base it in BNE. As such, HIR became another destination rather than a significant hub and the 727-200 was deregistered H4-PAE in the Solomon Islands and temporarily became N214F for about 1 year before being overhauled in Phoenix(PHX) and adopting the VH-PAE Australian registration. The 727-200 was interestingly replaced by an An-12 in 2002, and late a 727-100C, and is still in operation today with a 757-200PCF. The repaint is needed, but I can manage it myself eventually. 727-200F: Download Pacific Air Express 1998 Flightplans Here

Please re-visit all previously uploaded Japanese carriers, most have been re-done from scratch and are very different now. Look for the "v2" or "version 2" markings. \\HAS 1998 Hokkaido Air System (1998 - Preset) IATA: 6L ICAO: NTH CALLSIGN: NORTH AIR Hokkaido Air System (HAS) was founded in 1997, but began operations in 1998 to complement the regional network of JAC with Northern routes centered around Chitose(CTS) on behalf of JAS with just 2 Saab 340s. The aircraft wore the basic JAC colors, but with HAC titles and a blue bear decal near the boarding door. For the first few years, only a few routes were served, but the airline would gradually expand, while dropping service to AKJ and focusing more on non-stop flights from CTS and a little less from HKD. A major change would come with HAS switching it's base of operations in 2003 from CTS to the regional airport in Chitose located near the city center, called Okadama(OKD). When JAS merged into JAL in 2006, HAC became part of JAL, but broke off in 2011 to become an independant carrier with JAL retaining a minority ownership in the airline. However, this decision was later reveresed, and in 2016, HAC once again became part of JAL and flies on behalf of them today.

\\JTA 1998 Japan Transocean Air JTA (1967 - Present) IATA: NU ICAO: JTA CALLSIGN: JAI OCEAN Japan Transocean Air, better known as JTA, is a Japanese airline based in Naha(OKA) on the Southern island of Okinawa. The company was founded as Southwest Air Lines(SAL) in 1967, and became Japan Transocean Air in 1993 when it became a subsidiary of JAL and adopted JAL's basic livery with variations. 767-200s were briefly operated by both SAL and JTA, but those aircraft were retired in 1997 as the large jets did not fit into JTA's role for JAL. In 1998, the airline was flying 737-200s on most flights, with a few routes high density routes operated by 737-400s and a small number of routes being flown by some YS-11s. The airline had a focus city in Ishigaki's old airport(ROIX instead of ROIG), which required 737s do "static" takeoffs, holding the brakes until the engines spool to takeoff power and then steeply climbing out over the tall trees and terrain. Due to the potential for incidents, the airport was shut down in the next decade and a scenery will eventually be released to replicate this old airfield. While both Osaka-Kansai(KIX) and Tokyo-Haneda(HND) are served, JTA only flies once daily to each, so ISG and OKA are where you will mostly see these aircraft. There was one 737-400 with a mixed engine cowling and a 737-200 with a special bear sticker, while some 737-200s had logolights and some did not. JTA would grow to take on next generation 737-800s and is an important member of the JAL group to this day.

\\NAL 1998 (this used to be part of the "Japanese Non-Scheduled Carriers" package, please delete that package) Naka Nihon Airlines Service NAL (1953 - Present) IATA: NV ICAO: ALS CALLSIGN: NAKA NIHON Naka Nihon Airlines, or NAL, was a Nagoya-based Japanese regional airline. Prior to 1988, the airline existed as an air taxi and charter service using small piston props and Convairs. From 1988 on wards, the airline was a scheduled carrier, based at Nagoya Airfield(NKM). In 1998, the airline had 3 Fokker 50s flying a handful of regional routes out of NKM, with one continuing onto Fukuoka(FUK) a few times daily. The airline was the first Fokker 50 operator in Japan, and kept the type as it's backbone for many years. A 4th Fokker 50 was added in late 2001 and the airline began to codeshare with ANA around the same time. When the new Nagoya Chubu Central International Airport(NGO) opened in 2005, NAL moved there along with all other airlines and changed their name to "Air Central". The airline merged with Air Next and Air Nippon(ANK) in 2010 to form ANA Wings, which is the regional carrier of ANA. Though all scheduled airline operations were lost in this merger, Air Central went back to it's roots and still exists in NGO today as an air taxi and charter service with turboprops and private jets. Flightplans are by Ranmori Scythe, and has also painted the NAAI Fokker 50 here: ranmori.mixh.jp/wp/blog/2018/07/22/naka-nihon-airlines-service-fokker-50/Fokker 50: Download Naka Nihon Airlines Service NAL 1998 Flightplans Here

\\Air Dolphin 1998 Air Dolphin (1994 - ) IATA: NONE LISTED ICAO: ADC CALLSIGN: AIR DOLPHIN Air Dolphin was a very Japanese Island Hopper which was based on Okinawa at Naha Airport(OKA) and flew to local nearby islands. The airline had previously operated a Cessna 182 and Cessna 402, but was flying a BN-2 by the late 1990s with some scheduled routes.

//New Central Air Service 1998 New Central Air Service (1978 - Present) IATA: NONE LISTED ICAO: CUK CALLSIGN: CHUOH AIR New Central Air Service, today trading as New Central Airservice, is a small Japanese commuter airline based in Chofu(RJTF). The airline connected Chofu with a handful of nearby islands in 1998 with a BN-2. Only 1 airport served by the airline in 1998 even had an IATA code, as the airports were very small. The airline would add another BN-2 and then begin to add Do-228s, which today still flies to just 1 additional destination since 1998. A true niche carrier.

When the airline failed in 2008, New Japan Aviation then provided service to SDS until 2014, when the airport closed down with intentions to eventually expand the runway to allow for non-stop service to Tokyo-Haneda(HND) and Osaka-Itami(ITM) rather than relying on air-links to KIJ for air service.

In 1998, the airline had 4 BN-2s with focus cities in Fukuoka(FUK) and Fukue(FUJ), connecting cities in the area which were more or less not connected by the major Japanese carriers due to their close proximity. The airline became Orient Air Bridge in 2001, and today operates a DHC-8-100 and a BN-2 on many of the same routes it was flying in the 1990s, still successful in it's niche.

\\Harlequin Air 1998 Harlequin Air (1997-2005) IATA: JH ICAO: HLQ CALLSIGN: HARLEQUIN Harlequin Air was established as the Fukuoka(FUK)-based charter division of Japan Air System(JAS) with much fanfare. While both a DC-10-30 and an MD-80 were painted in the Harlequin Air colors and put on it's operating certificate, the MD-80 was more or less used for publicity and was actually deployed on regular JAS flights as a special livery(and is included with the JAS flightplans). The DC-10-30, however, was used for frequent scheduled medium haul and long haul charters, often connecting 2 Japanese cities with the destination. I was actually able to find a 1998 charter schedule for September 1998, and these flights are real based off that schedule. Hong Kong(VHHX) and Australia were probably the most common destinations for Harlequin Air in it's history outside of Japan, and both are represented here. When the merger between JAL and JAS was announced, the JAL Group absorbed Harlequin Air into JAL ahead of the merger as part of the restructuring.
