\\World Air Network 1998 World Air Network (1991 - Present) IATA: WL ICAO: WAC CALLSIGN: WING ACE World Air Network, better known as WAC, was Japanese carrier ANA's Tokyo-Narita(NRT)-based charter subsidiary. After the first flight in 1991, the WAC tail logo, which had been placed over the standard ANA logo, ripped off in flight and the aircraft returned to Japan with just ANA tail markings, and continued flying in ANA colors. In 1998, the airline was very small, flying a single 767-300 on medium and long haul charters, with Australia and Hong Kong(VHHX) being common destinations at the time. In 2001, the carrier was renamed "Air Japan" and quickly grew, adding aircraft from ANA(in their basic livery but with small "Air Japan" titles) and operating scheduled flights across ANA's network, especially to Hawaii and mainland China. The airline began to hire expat(non-Japanese) contract crew members around this time as well, who could were kept separate from ANA's pilots. Within a few years, the airline also began to operate a cargo division on behalf of ANA. Growth exploded, and today, Air Japan operates over 70 aircraft, with 65 787s and 767s in passenger roles and 10 767s in freight roles. While representative, charters are based on routes actually flown in the late 1990s. Ranmori Scythe has painted the WAC AIA 767-300(which again, was only active on 1 trip in 1991), but I seem to have lost it somehow. When he re-sends it to me, I will share it here in case anyone wishes to use it. But I recommend just using the ANA 767-300 and making another aircraft.cfg entry to give it the WAC parking code and "WING ACE" callsign. 767-300: Download World Air Network 1998 Flightplans Here

\\Hokkaido International Airlines - Air Do 1998 Hokkaido International Airlines - Air Do (1998 - Present) IATA: HD ICAO: ADO CALLSIGN: AIR DO Hokkaido International Airlines, otherwise known as Air Do, is a Japanese airline based in Chitose(CTS). Air Do was founded in 1996 but did not start operations until December 20th, 1998 with a single 767-300. Prior to start up, the Air Do 767-300 spent much of the summer of 1998 in Shimojishima(RORS), which was used extensively by Japanese airlines for flight training at the time, practicing landings and training pilots and cabin crew while obtaining regulatory certifications prior to start. Once flights started, a single route was operated between CTS and Tokyo-Haneda(HND) 4 times daily. The established carriers were charging exorbitant fares on the route at the time, and Air Do hoped to siphon their passengers. Initially, Air Do was a great success and quickly attracted business. A second brand-new 767-300 was delivered straight from the Boeing factory in PAE in 2000, just over 1 year after the airline started operations. However, the 9\11 terror attacks in the United States affected passenger bookings the world over, and leisure travel in Japan began to grind to a halt leading to a dire situation for Air Do. In early 2003, ANA came to the rescue and decided to take advantage of the situation by making all flights code share with ANA, and allowing ANA to independently sell up to 50% of seats on Air Do's flights. However, this move did successfully save Air Do, and lead to rapid expansion as ANA began to lease 767s and 737s from itself and ANK to the carrier. Today, the original 2 767-300s are the only aircraft independently owned by Air Do, while the rest of it's several 737-700s and additional 767-300 are all leased from ANA. In addition to the 767 flying the airline's inaugural scheduled routes, I have done something a little different. As I intend to re-create the training activity at RORS in this project, I have created a second flightplan for this 767 which has it based in RORS doing a series of touch and goes twice daily and spending the rest of the time on the ramp there, never leaving the area and thus never overlapping with the HND-CTS flying aircraft. Remove it if you wish, but it is a realistic use of the plane.

\\J-Air 1998 J-Air (1996 - Present) IATA: JL ICAO: JLJ CALLSIGN: J-AIR J-Air is a regional subsidiary of JAL, initially founded in 1996 as part of JAL's training academy. In the 1990s, prospective JAL pilots were sent to the United States where they would train at the Napa Airport(APC) in California at JAL's Flight Academy. Once they returned to Japan as commercial pilots, from 1991 onward, JAL decided to create a small regional airline to reimburse the training costs of new pilots by selling tickets on the aircraft they were flying between secondary cities in Japan, replacing the routes of Nishiseto Air Link which served a similar purpose in the past. Candidates who successfully operate the flights move on to JAL's jets. In 1996, JAL spun off a full airline from these training academy flights and J-Air was started with Jetstream 31s based in Hiroshima's secondary airport (HIW\RJBH) which had lost all air service when new and larger Hiroshima Airport(HIJ) opened in 1993. The flights were popular, and the route structure had expanded by several cities by 1998. But after 9\11, traffic at the airport decreased and never recovered with J-Air taking losses on all routes from HIW. The airline remained about the same size until a typhoon badly damaged the facilities in 2004, and J-Air left the airport completely in 2005. Japan Air Commuter(JAC) would eventually serve the airport again from Miyazaki and Kagoshima, but these flights were cut in 2011 and the airport closed permanently soon afterwards. As for J-Air, JAL eventually decided to make it a full regional subsidiary and CRJs and Embraer jets were added to the fleet. The airline is still flying today, with plans to replace the Embraer jets with the new Mitsubishi Space Jet(formerly known as the MRJ) when the type is ready to enter service.

\\JAS 1998 v2 (Aircraft re-ordered for better parking, fixed error where Nagoya was coded as "RJNN" instead of "RJNA" for some flights) Japan Air System JAS (1971-2004) IATA: JS ICAO: JAS CALLSIGN: AIR SYSTEM Japan Air System, better known as JAS, was a large Japanese airline that both severed a vast domestic network and also operated several international routes in it's history. JAS was founded in 1971 when Japan Airlines merged with TOA Airlines to form TOA Domestic Airlines. For anti-trust reasons, TOA Domestic Airlines was to be a separate airline than Japan Airlines to provide more options to the flying public and to prevent a duopoly between JAL and ANA. 1971 would also be the year of the airline's first and only fatal accident, losing a YS-11. When the airline planned international expansion to Seoul(GMP), the name was changed in 1988 to Japan Air System(JAS). In 1998, the airline was about as large as it ever got, though some unprofitable international routes had already been cut(including several points in China, SIN, and HNL). The last DC-9-40s and YS-11s had already been retired, though the regional subsidiary Japan Air Commuter (JAC) was operating many of the YS-11s still on behalf of JAS. A large fleet of MD-81s and DC-9-80s made up the bulk of the fleet, while many new MD-90s had also started arriving and a few MD-87s were in the fleet. These aircraft all preformed domestic flights, and the MD-90s came in 8 different colorful livery variations designed by Japanese artist Akira Kurosawa, making the aircraft a very interesting sight at Japanese airports. Brand new 777-200s also flew strictly domestically, on the high density routes between Tokyo Haneda(HND) and Fukuoka(FUK) and Chitose(CTS). Like the MD-90s, JAS decided to create a special livery for the 777s, though only 1 version of it across the fleet. A contest was held, and 10,364 participants from 42 countries submitted entries only for a 13 year old child named Masatomo Watanabe to win! A large fleet of A300B2\B4\C4\600s operated high density domestic routes as well of 2 of the final remaining international routes to Hong Kong(VHHX) and Guangzhou(ZGGX) from Osaka-Kansai(KIX), all still wearing the old livery except for one in a special liver advertising Pocari Sweat. One DC-10-30 remained in the fleet, doing a single daily trip to Seoul(GMP) from Tokyo-Narita(NRT), the airline's only route from NRT at the time. Like most Japanese airlines, almost every route was operated daily. JAS had hubs and focus cities in every large Japanese city, but also flew an extensive "point-to-point" network between various points in Japan, sometimes being the only airline to service an airport. As was also common in Japan, high density routes were operated with very high frequency, often with multiple widebody flights in an hour. In addition to the scheduled flights, I have added realistic training flights with the airline's Oita(OIT)-based B200 King Air fleet which was used for pilot training. The attempted international expansion is thought to have put JAS in a financial position from which it would not recover, and JAL smelled the blood in the water. As JAS had originally split from JAL at it's formation in 1971, destiny came full circle and in the early 2000s, the 2 carriers began making preparations to merge. In 2004, JAS disappeared as it became known as "Japan Air Lines Domestic" and JAL temporarily became "Japan Air Lines International" and in 2006, the airlines were formerly merged. Ranmori Scythe has painted most of the fleet, except for 1 final variation of the MD-90 rainbow colors: HTAI B200 Kingair: ranmori.mixh.jp/wp/blog/2018/07/29/japan-air-system-beechcraft-king-air-200/AIA MD-81\DC-9-80: ranmori.mixh.jp/wp/blog/2018/07/14/japan-air-system-mcdonnell-douglas-md-81/AIA MD-81 Harlequin Air: drive.google.com/drive/folders/1bbiVbQEbVeDYtX9DlXY-bd9caHNTmSQO?usp=sharingAIA MD-87: ranmori.mixh.jp/wp/blog/2018/07/14/japan-air-system-mcdonnell-douglas-md-87/AIA MD-90: drive.google.com/drive/folders/1lbyOcm2gkjjS6tovoatd-oL4d5mhtjxq?usp=sharingTFS A300B2\B4\C4: ranmori.mixh.jp/wp/blog/2018/07/14/japan-air-system-a300/TFS A300-600: ranmori.mixh.jp/wp/blog/2018/07/14/japan-air-system-a300-600/TFS A300-600 Pocari Sweat: drive.google.com/drive/folders/1rnqqjsTUny9qQvnkFXkhk54AxGKsRRKV?usp=sharingFSP DC-10 (HD): ranmori.mixh.jp/wp/blog/2018/08/01/japan-air-system-mcdonnell-douglas-dc-10/AIM DC-10-30 by Jason King (non-HD): library.avsim.net/search.php?SearchTerm=aim_dc1030_jasjapanairservice.zip&CatID=root&Go=SearchFSPX 777-200: drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ylfzJdxiIE02qFrOSbZ6MJ3Y18WqVegE?usp=sharing777-200: DC-10-30: A300B2\B4\C4\600R: MD-90: MD-81\DC-9-80: MD-87: B200 King Air Training Download Japan Air System JAS 1998 v2 Flightplans Here

\\ANA 1998 v2 (changed aircraft order for better parking) All Nippon Airways ANA (1958 - Present) IATA: NH ICAO: ANA CALLSIGN: ALL NIPPON All Nippon Airways, better known as ANA, is one of 2 Japanese global airlines, having long been one of the 2 largest airlines in Japan. Founded in 1958, ANA started off with an eclectic fleet of vintage props and helicopters, taking on Japan Air Lines(JAL) head-to-head which was established several years earlier. Initially, ANA was a domestic carrier, adding modern aircraft as they became available like the Fokker 27, YS-11, and joining the jet age early on with Boeing 727-100s. ANA found success domestically, and while charters were operated to places like Hong Kong(VHHX) in the 70s, ANA would not venture into scheduled international flying until starting NRT-GUM with L-1011s in 1986, almost 30 years after it started flying. 12 years later in 1998, ANA had experienced rapid growth and had international flights all over Asia as well as to the USA, Australia, Europe, and India. The trend of adding modern aircraft to the fleet continued, with older jets like the L-1011 and 737-200 already retired and a large number of A320s and 747-400s in service, joined by some 777-200s and 777-300s, of which ANA was one of the launch customers, and their first A321. With the need to shuttle massive numbers of people short distances, the Japanese airlines had some one of a kind aircraft for the mission. ANA still had a sizable fleet of strictly domestic 747-400Ds and 747SRs(short range) flying high desnity domestic routes, rarely over 2 hours in length. These aircraft were specially designed by Boeing to offer the highest density seating possible in economy by sacrificing fuel tanks for extra payload. The 747-400D in particular had a stretched upper deck and no winglets, seating over 500 passengers. The aircraft only filled in for the international fleet on rare occasions, and almost always flew strictly domestically, being very uncommon at KIX and NRT. ANA did operate several domestic routes with it's standard international 747-400s, usually from either KIX or NRT between longhaul flights. The rest of the international fleet consisted of the few remaining 747-200s and some internationally configured 777-200s and 767-300s. The majority of 767-300s and 777-200s were used domestically, with different high density configurations and Japanese titles instead of the ANA titles in English(The 777-200s all had both English and Japanese titles regardless). Accordingly, it was important to segregate these aircraft as realistically as possible. The large fleet of 767-200s and A320s, as well as the 777-300s and the A321 were strictly domestic at the time. Most domestic flights used ITM and HND for trips to Osaka and Tokyo respectively, but there were some exceptions for reasons of connectivity and the whole fleet except for the 747SR, 777-300, and 747-400D served either NRT or KIX with some domestic routes. The A321 was actually primarily based in KIX, though it passed through HND as well. Back in 1998, Nagoya was still using the NKM airport with a single runway, and NRT was also still only using 1 runway, so widebody flights at these airports were very common to take advantage of the limited slots. In fact, NRT only had 2 scheduled flights by narrowbody aircraft in the summer of 1998, both being ANA A320s, with one daily flight to NKM and a 3x weekly CTS-NRT-CTS flight. The Japanese have always been passionate about aviation and photography, so it is no surprised that special liveries are very common among Japanese airlines. While some liveries of the 1990s like the Marine Jumbo 747 and 767 were already gone, ANA had several special liveries, including 5 different liveries promoting the global hit cartoon Pokemon(known in Japan as Pocket Monsters). All of those were on domestic aircraft at the time. Other special liveries included a special film strip livery on the A321, a "Wings" special livery on the 777-300, special Eastern Airlines-esq "777" titles on some of the 777-200s, and a 747-400D in a Snoopy livery. As this project has several airlines from 1999, I elected to include 2 liveries which were not introduced until 1999 in case you wish to use them. They are an international 747-400 in another Pokemon livery and a 767-300 in Star Alliance livery as ANA joined in October of 1999. However, as a September 1998 schedule was used for these flights, SFO and ORD service which started in 1999 is not included. The flightplans call for multiple A321s, but research lead to the discovery that many A321 flights were usually downgauged to ANA or ANK A320s. As ANA owned it's subsidiary ANK, planes were swapped back and forth frequently as needed. As with the other Japanese plans, I took aircraft with long ground times and gave them simulated training flights to Shimojishima(SHI\RORS), as was common in 1998. ANA would continue to grow and set a global reputation for punctuality and immaculate service, especially in it's premium cabins. Today, ANA is one of the largest airlines in Asia. Ranmori Scythe has painted the majority of the fleet, though the special liveries are needed. Michael Pearson has expressed interest in finishing the liveries Ranmori did not do himself, so I do expect them to be done eventually. The following paints are available, just use standard liveries as substitutions for the missing special liveries for now: FAIB 747-400: ranmori.mixh.jp/wp/blog/2018/07/21/all-nippon-airways-boeing-747-400/FAIB 747-400D: ranmori.mixh.jp/wp/blog/2018/07/30/all-nippon-airways-boeing-747-400d/FAIB 747-200: ranmori.mixh.jp/wp/blog/2018/07/21/all-nippon-airways-boeing-747-200/FAIB 747SR: ranmori.mixh.jp/wp/blog/2018/07/30/all-nippon-airways-boeing-747sr/FSPX 777-300(including Wind livery): drive.google.com/drive/folders/179tGg0HObPu_5euMdqov5vVMlExJ-CBE?usp=sharingFSPX 777-200 International: drive.google.com/drive/folders/10H5eNK_Wrhg1fXrshk1M2GeJORdalsO_?usp=sharingFAIB 767-300 International and Domestic: ranmori.mixh.jp/wp/blog/2018/07/25/all-nippon-airways-boeing-767-300/FAIB 767-200: ranmori.mixh.jp/wp/blog/2018/07/30/all-nippon-airways-boeing-767-200/FAIB A321 Film Strip: drive.google.com/drive/folders/1XXsdzmDrgbFTuweQYLX6UaUJXYA1Lw8f?usp=sharingFAIB A320: ranmori.mixh.jp/wp/blog/2018/08/01/all-nippon-airways-airbus-a320/747-400: 747-400D: 747-200: 747SR: 777-200 International: 777-200\300 Domestic: 767-300 International: 767-200\300 Domestic: A321: A320: Download All Nippon Airways ANA 1998 v2 Flightplans Here

\\Austrian Airlines 1999 Austrian Airlines (1957 - Present) IATA: OS ICAO: AUA CALLSIGN: AUSTRIAN Austrian Airlines is Austria's long-established national carrier based in Vienna(VIE), where almost all of it's routes originate. The airline chose the Douglas DC-9 series early on as the backbone of it's fleet, and was a very early operator of the MD-80 and MD-87. By 1998, the MD-80 series was still the backbone of the fleet, but Airbus A320 and A321s were starting to replace them. These aircraft were joined by several Fokker 70s doing short range European routes. Most large and medium-sized cities in Europe and the Middle East were served. A310s on were joined in recent years by A330-200s and A340-200\300s on longhaul routes to North America, South Africa, the Middle East and Asia. Some A310-300s were the only aircraft in the fleet still wearing the old livery worn for a few decades, the rest of the aircraft were wearing the 1996 introduced livery. Interestingly, a JFK-ZRH flight was operated at the time. In addition their global network, Austrian had a large charter network in 1998, with beach destinations popular getaways for people in Austria due to the cold mountainous climate. Despite the scheduled flights being VIE-based, many charters were flown from SZG, GRZ, and LNZ as well. Austrian would go on to join the Start Alliance and add new aircraft like the Boeing 777 and expand their network further in the coming years and is still around today.

\\Lauda Air 1999 Lauda Air (1985-2013) IATA: NG ICAO: LDA CALLSIGN: LAUDA AIR Lauda Air was founded in 1985 by formula one racing legend Nikki Lauda with Bac 1-11s and 737-200s. In his retirement from racing, Lauda had taken up flying and was an active pilot on throughout the first decade or so of his airline's existence. Contrary to rival Austrian Airlines that focused on high yielding business routes, Lauda Air focused on secondary European cities for the most part and lower-yielding longhaul routes to Southeast Asia. By 1998, the airline had a vast longhaul network given it's small size, serving many points in Asia that Austrian did not fly to, as well as Australia, Florida, and the Caribbean. In addition to these flights, Lauda Air flew a vast range of leisure charters all across Europe and the Mediterranean. Scheduled flights were based in Vienna(VIE), but charters used INN, SZG, LNZ, KLU and GRZ as well. Boeing 777-200s had recently been added to the haul fleet, joining the 767-300s that Lauda Air had flown since it's early days. New 737-800s had also joined the 737-300s, 737-400s, and CRJ-200s on the European routes and charter flights. Lauda Air had recently switched to some alterations of the previous livery, so take care in checking that you install the right ones. The fleet wore a mix of the old and new colors at the time. The airline would continue to grow until 2012 when it merged into rival Austrian Airlines. Flightplans by Vadim Setpanyuk.

\\Tyrolean Airlines 1999 Tyrolean Airways (1978-2015) IATA: VO ICAO: TYR CALLSIGN: TYROLEAN Tyrolean was the regional partner of Austrian Airlines, and also independently operated flights across the region. The DHC-7 was an important part of the fleet for much of the airlines early history, serving many mountainous airports with its decent seating capacity and STOL(Short take off and landing) performance, including being the only true airline to ever serve the infamous French Courchevel Airport in the past. By 1999, however, these aircraft had been replaced by DHC-8-100\300s and some of the more treacherous destinations were gone. Austrian Airlines and Lauda Air had all scheduled flights based from Vienna(VIE), and only served the other Austrian airports on a charter basis. Tyrolean, in turn, was the only airline offering regularly scheduled domestic service to the other Austrian airports, including the famed Innsbruck Airport(INN). The DHC-8s mostly flew domestically and to regional destinations in Central Europe, but did venture to a few Mediterranean holiday destinations. Longer services, and those to secondary cities not served from VIE by Austrian, were mostly operated with the jet fleet which consisted of CRJ-200s and larger Fokker 70s. Plenty of large cities were also served, but usually from secondary airports in Austria. In May of 1998, Austrian Airlines officially purchased Tyrolean, and in 2003, the company was rebranded as "Austrian Arrows". In 2015, Austrian Arrows was absorbed by Austrian Airlines into the mainline fleet. Flightplans by Vadim Stepanyuk.

\\Deutsche BA 1998 Deutsche BA (1992-2008) IATA: DI ICAO: BAG CALLSIGN: SPEEDWAY Deutsche BA was founded in 1992 when British Airways acquired a 49% stake in the airline Delta Air and established a German subsidiary. Initially, the airline used 737-300s and Fokker 100s in a similar livery to the British Ariways Landor colors on low-fare services from Germany. But in 1997, British Airways became legally allowed to fully absorb the company, and 737s began appearing in the "World Colours" liveries by the end of the year. By 1998, the Fokkers were retired and the fleet was in a mix of an updated version of the old colors and several variations of the World Colours. Additionally, as odd as this may seem, a 737-300 was leased from Transavia in a hybrid livery with the "Sterntaler" tail and used for scheduled services between AMS and LGW several times per day, with no connection to Germany at all. A sizable charter network was operated at the time in addition to the scheduled flights, mostly holiday charters to Greece and the Mediterranean. In 2006, the airline was re branded as DBA, and efforts to sell the carrier to Air Berlin were started. By 2008, the sale was complete and DBA became part of Air Berlin.

\\Easyjet 1998 EasyJet (1995 - Present) IATA: U2 ICAO: EZY CALLSIGN: EASY EasyJet was founded in 1995 with 737-200s based primarily out of London Luton(LTN) providing low fare and often high frequency service to the London area. By 1998, the airline had already transitioned from 737-200s to 737-300s, and had 3 different livery variations, which are all completed in HD. One such variation was decals asking to "STOP BA and STOP GO!", in protest to British Airway's low-fare carrier called "Go Fly" which was launched to fight EasyJet. British Airways was unsuccessful, and EasyJet is one of the largest airlines in Europe today, though now with an all Airbus fleet. Flightplans by Vadim Stepanyuk.

\\Ryanair 1999 Ryanair (1985 - Present) IATA: FR ICAO: RYR CALLSIGN: RYANAIR Ryanair is the infamous Irish low-cost airline that set out to battle Aer Lingus and British Airways on flights between Ireland and the UK. Initially, the airline operated with Bac 1-11s, later joined by 737-200s which would become the backbone of the fleet for years to come. Ryanair did not take itself seriously, and was well known for controversial advertisements and silly special liveries, especially in the Christmas season. The Bac 1-11s were retired in the later part of the 1990s and the carrier became an all 737-200 operator. By 1999, the airline had a large fleet of 737-200s with many advertisement special liveries and had accepted the first few 737-800s of the 45 it had initially ordered. Dublin(DUB) and London-Stansted(STN) were the largest hubs at the time, with secondary hubs in Prestwick(PIK) and Shannon(SNN). The airline would explode over the next 2 decades and today is one of the largest carriers in Europe and one of the world's largest 737 operators.

\\Virgin Sun 1999 Virgin Sun (1999-2001; merged into First Choice) IATA: V2 ICAO: VIR CALLSIGN: VIRGIN Virgin Sun was started in May of 1999 as the Virgin Group's London-Gatwick(LGW) and Manchester(MAN)-based leisure airline, flying charters to European holiday destinations with some charters operated from Dresden(DRS) as well. Flights were operated with bright yellow A320s and A321s with signature red Virgin tail and booked via Virgin's travel company, Virgin Holidays. Traditionally, UK leisure airlines, like those in most nations, had very little in the way of onboard amenities and meal quality, given the nature of their operation to get as many people to a holiday destination as cheaply as possible. When Air 2000 came along, the expectations of service increased with the airline serving hot meals and having other on board amenities thanks to that carrier's innovative approach. However, it was not until the launch of Virgin Sun when "first class service" was brought to the holiday leisure charter market. Passengers received welcome aboard cocktails and hot restaurant quality breakfast or lunch dishes in flight with generous quantities and dessert to finish. Coffee with toppings was also offered on board, as well as iced lollipop snacks. The flights were operated with a fun atmosphere, with cabin crew encouraged to engage the passengers and chat. Of course, while admirable, these services made the flights more expensive to operate than that of the competitors, and the airline was not profitable. The decision was made in late 2001 to shut down this subsidiary, park the aircraft, and find a buyer. Air 2000, who pioneer the UK's full service leisure charter model and was recently purchased by First Choice airlines itself, bought the assets of Virgin Sun. Most aircraft would be returned to their lessors or sold, though 1 A320 did stick around with Air 2000\First Choice for a while afterwards until 2004. Flightplans by Henrique Martins.

\\Egyptair 1998 v3 (UPDATE 17FEB22; modified plans with many extra variations to utilize P3D native fleet repaints by Nils Gosselin and Michael Pearson). Egyptair (1933 - Present) IATA: MS ICAO: MSR CALLSIGN: EGYPTAIR Egyptair Cargo (1987 - Present) IATA: MS ICAO MSX (or use MSRC for parking) CALLSIGN: EGYPTAIR Air Sinai (1982-2002) IATA: 4D ICAO: ASD (also use MSR for parking) CALLSIGN: AIR SINAI Egyptair is the national airline of Egypt and one of the world's oldest operating airlines and one of the largest carriers in the Middle East. With Egypt's early status as a cultural center in the Arab world and long standing relationships with the West, Egyptair was flying Comet jets at the dawn of the jet age and was the first Middle Eastern airline to offer a route network operating from the United States across to Australia. Egyptair was an early operator of Airbus jets, first with the A300B and later the A300-600R, A320, and A340, also placing orders in the late 1990s for A340-600s with deliveries due in 2003(which never happened). In 1998, Egyptair had curiously already retired it's A340-300s but retained it's A340-200s, deploying the aircraft on medium haul routes to London(LHR) and Paris(ORY) as well as longhaul flights to South Africa and Asia. These aircraft were joined by a pair of 767-300s and some 777-200s on the rest of the carriers long haul network. 2 747-300 Combis were active but mostly used for a handful of European and domestic high density routes and hajj charters between Jeddah(JED) and Europe. A300-600Rs, A320s, A321s, and 737-500s flew a vast network across Europe, Northern, Western, and Central Africa, and the Middle East. The airline served every commercial airport in the United Arab Emirates and 3 Syrian destinations and was the only international airline at several airports it served at the time. A few remaining 737-200s mostly did domestic flying but also did a few international routes between secondary Egyptian cities and the Persian Gulf. In addition to these aircraft, wholly owned subsidiary Air Sinai was flying an all white 737-500 and 737-200 leased from Egyptair. These aircraft were void of any Egyptair markings, or markings in general, as they were used on flights to Tel Aviv(TLV) which was and is unrecognized as a nation by many Middle Eastern countries. The aircraft used for regular charters to both TLV and Budapest(BUD) in 1998, but were mainly used at the time for covering other Egyptair flights, and they have been assigned many extra flights from mainline Egyptair aircraft popping up at random in the Egyptair network as they did in real life. Two A300B4-200F freighters were also flown as Egyptair Cargo. As I could not find a schedule for this operation more recent than 2007, the flightplans are representative based on data that suggested the aircraft would arrive in Ostend(OST) and Brussels(BRU) respectively in the morning and leave in the early evening back to CAI. They may have made stops headed North from Egypt, but I could not find any information on this. The Hajj network was busy for Egyptair in 1998, and I found photos of every widebody in the fleet visiting Manchester(MAN) on these religious pilgrimage trips to Saudi Arabia. Accordingly, MAN gets a charter to JED almost daily from various aircraft types, and other airports I found evidence of late 1990s Hajj flights operating to in Egypt and Europe are also represented. Each one of these flights was operated at least once in real life. The airline had introduced a new livery in 1996, with a white fuselage and blue tail, and most of the fleet was already wearing it by 1998. However, none of the 767s or 737-200s wore the new colors and only 1 of the 737-500s did as well, with these aircraft wearing the old 1988-introduced livery. The A320 and A300-600Rs were also a good mix of the 2 liveries at the time. Tragically, one 767-300 was lost in a pilot suicide incident flying as MS990 on the LAX-JFK-CAI on 31OCT99 with the loss of all on board. These flight plans are dedicated in their memory. Egyptair would go on to join the Star Alliance and is still a major airline today. Flightplans by Vadim Stepanyuk and myself, and I thank him for his work on this cool carrier. NOTE: As Nils Gosselin and Michael Pearson have done many variations of the fleet in the 1996 livery, included are "LITE" versions of these flight plans with just 1 version of each repaint and standard flightplans which include all his variations.

Thanks for Egyptair. Flew them once, it was absolutely stunning. I think however, there's a mistake with Boeing 777 SU-GBR at Singapore. Instead of landing at 01:50 UTC, a 35 minutes after leaving Cairo at 01:15 UTC, I'd guess it should be 11:50 UTC? Just noticed it and wanted to let you know. Kind regards.

Very odd, I must have an issue with MRAI Compiler as the raw data looks good. I'm going out of town I'll fix it when I get a chance, thanks.
