\\Fly FTI 1999 Fly FTI (FTI Fluggesellschaft) (1998-2001) IATA: FT ICAO FTI CALLSIGN: FROG-LINE Fly FTI was a German leisure carrier founded by English carrier Airtours International in 1998 to provide charters from Germany mostly to holiday destinations in Greece, the Canary Islands, and the Mediterranean. However, there were flights from 3 cities to The Gambia(BJL) routing via Grand Canaria(TFS). The carrier operated 3 A320s painted in the basic colors of Airtours, and was based in Munch(MUC). In 1999 and 2000, the airline also used a 737-400 operated by Air Belgium to provide high frequency service between Palma de Mallorca(PMI) and Germany, in a white hybrid Air Tours livery with Air Belgium and Fly FTI stickers near the forward fuselage. This aircraft was based in PMI, and most flights were roundtrips to Germany, with the exception being a weekly PMI-FRA-LPA-FRA-PMI trip. The airline would grow to as many as 6 Airbus A320 aircraft before AirTours decided to end their German subsidiary and absorb the A320s into it's UK-based fleet. Unlike most charter airlines, Fly FTI did (sort of) have a posted schedule. However, this schedule displayed only the aircraft type, routing, and prices. It did not display flight times and flight numbers. So while all flight numbers and times are representative, the routes and aircraft assignments are real and on the proper days of the week. The fleet had to keep very busy to keep up with the schedule and fly into the night most of the week. The best places to see the Airbuses are CGN and MUC usually.

\\Peerusair 1999 Peerusair (1999-2005) IATA: NONE LISTED ICAO: NONE LISTED CALLSIGN: PEERUSAIR Peerusair is an odd carrier for sure, being that it is not listed at all in any of the JP Fleets Books yet most commercial Cessna and similar operators are. I was unable to find much out about this airline, and the only photos I found of their aircraft were on a schedule posted online. But one source suggested that the airline was founded in 1999 and lived on until 2005, and I was able to find out that they flew 1 Jetstream 32 and were a commuter airlines based in Dusseldorf's other and much smaller Mönchengladbach Airport (MGL). At the time, very few airlines used this airport, most notably VLM on flights to London City, and Debon Air who flew the same route with BAe-146 jets. Other than flights to London, the airport had few air links in 1999 but was convenient for some business travelers. The airline offered a triangle route commuter service connecting MGL, Leipzig(LEJ) and Strasbourg(SXB). The flightplans called for an extra Jetstream flying similarly times flights in another direction, but it is unclear if these flights ever started. They are segregated if you wish to exclude them. There is no paint done yet, but I will do this one on the PAI Jetstream 32. A neat piece of history. Flightplans by Vireak Ball. Jetstream 32: Download Peerusair 1999 Flightplans Here

//Air Europa 1998 v2 (19AUG22; re-ordered aircraft for better AI parking, changed cruise speeds to AIG standard, added repaint links though some are still needed) Air Europa (1986 - Present) IATA: UX ICAO: AEA CALLSIGN: EUROPA Air Europa Express (1996 - Present) IATA: UX ICAO: PMI CALLSIGN: AIR REGIONAL Air Europa is a Spanish airline that was started in 1986 by UK Leisure company "Air Europe" as their Spanish division, and the aircraft wore the basic colors of Air Europe at the time. An Italian subsidiary, Air Europe Italy, was also formed, and both that company and Air Europa would out-live Air Europe which failed in the early 1990s. Initially, the airline used it's 737-300s and 757-200s on leisure charters. Not long after, however, Air Europa ended up becoming the first privately-owned Spanish airline to operate regularly scheduled domestic flights and decided to expand in this role. In 1998, Air Europa also began operating various aircraft on behalf of Iberia on their scheduled flights in their full colors, and also started its own regional airline, Air Europa Express, and regional carrier Canarias Regional Air began flights under the Air Europa Express banner as well. 737-300s and 737-400s flew the majority of routes for Iberia at the time, with all but 2 737-400s leased out to Iberia and the 737-300s wearing many livery variations. All but 1 757-200, and all 767-300s in the fleet, were also being flown for Iberia at the time. The 757 has spent a lot of time on the ground at the hubs, but I didn't find any 1998 photos of it at non-scheduled(charter) destinations. Longhaul international flights were operated to North America and the Caribbean by the 767s. The flights operated will be found in the Iberia flight plans. Air Europa Express flew BAe ATPs around mainline Spain and the Mediterranean, while Canarias Regional Air operated flights around the Canary Islands. Canarias Regional Air flights are included in that airline's flight plans. A new white livery was introduced in 1994, with just a small portion of the fuselage wearing the Air Europe colored stripes. Only a few aircraft wore these colors in 1998, and another livery would come out by 2001. All 767-200s and 737-400s wore the new livery, but the 757s in the new colors were flying for Iberia, and the one flying for Air Europa wore the 1986 livery in from early 1998 for the next few years. Air Europa, and Air Europa Express, are still alive today as the 3rd biggest carrier in Spain. The first 737-800 was included in 1999, and I assigned it to an extra 737 which did not fly much. You may delete it or assign it to a 733 or 734 if you wish. Flightplans by Vireak Ball and myself. Many of the 737 livery variations are needed, and the following points are available: FAIB 737-300, AIG 757-200 1986(also includes AIM 767-200, 737-400 in 1986 colors if you wish to use them): library.avsim.net/search.php?SearchTerm=air_europa_fleet_1996.zip&CatID=root&Go=SearchFAIB 737-300 1994 by Henrique Martins and Jonathan Alba: www.dropbox.com/s/g3uju6kep7oby1q/B-737.rar?dl=0FAIB 737-800 by Nils Gosselin: drive.google.com/drive/folders/1RenPdPEqIUkgVTePu8_IWDrNpYAeUE9HAIG 757-200 1994 by Henrique Martins and Jonathan Alba(if you wish to use it): www.dropbox.com/s/7udfd3xlm5gbsfv/B-767.rar?dl=0FAIB 767-200 1994 by Henrique Martins and Jonathan Alba: www.dropbox.com/s/7udfd3xlm5gbsfv/B-767.rar?dl=0PAI BAe ATP: On Flightsim.com as "paicl003.zip". 737-300\400: 757-200: 767-200: BAe ATP operated by Air Europa Express: Download Air Europa 1998 v2 Flightplans Here

//TAME Ecuador 1999 TAME Ecuador (1963-2020) IATA: EQ ICAO: TAE CALLSIGN: TAME TAME Ecuador was the national airline of Ecuador for almost 60 years, but unfortunately the airline fell victim to the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic and was liquidated. Until 2013, TAME operated from the now-closed Quito Airport(UIO) which used the same codes as the current airport. So, I have created "SEQX" instead of SEQU. This project will utilize the real airports used as much as possible, but feel free to change the codes if you prefer the new airports. In this case, the old airport was much more dangerous to operate out of than the new one is, and TAME was plagued with accidents despite a small fleet for many years. As was common at the time in that region of the world, TAME still had older aircraft as the backbone of their fleet. Most flights were operated with 727-100s and 727-200s, with TAME adding used 727s to the fleet actively at the time. These aircraft operated most of the carriers few international routes to Colombia, Chile, and Cuba, but a 757-200 which was leased from (and seemingly operated by) TAESA between 1998 and 1999 operated twice weekly on the Santiago, Chile route(SCL) and to the Galapagos Islands(GPS) several times weekly. The limited routing and short time of it's existence made this bold looking 757 a rare bird. International flights originate in UIO, but stop in Ecuador's second largest city, Guayaquil, on all international flights. A Fokker 28-4000 was used on a few domestic routes, 2 of which were only operated on Sunday, and was also used for VIP Government transport on at least one trip to MEX in 1999. Unfortunately, the schedule utilized this aircraft everyday so I was unable to create this charter flight without cancelling a day's worth of real flights, so only the scheduled flights are included. 2 hard-working HS-748s were used to smaller domestic airports, and also on the UIO-GYE route once per week as an extra flight. The aircraft all have short scheduled ground times unless there is an overnight stay, so most of them keep very busy. All aircraft appear to wear the standard TAME livery at the time with no known variations. TAME would go on to add 2 A320s in 2000, and grow over the next 20 years into a modern Airbus and Embraer fleet before they succumbed to the global aviation crisis. The 757-200 repaint is still needed, but the rest of the fleet by Eduardo Villanueva is on Avsim here along with 1993 flightplans: library.avsim.net/search.php?SearchTerm=tame_1993.zip&CatID=root&Go=Search757-200: 727-100\200: Fokker 28-4000: HS-748: Download TAME Ecuador 1999 Flightplans Here

Several airlines have been updated with recently released repaints over the past few days. These include: KLM UK, KLM Cityhopper, KLM Exel, Midwest Express, Air Europe (Italy), and several others. As I update these links frequently, you may wish to browse through airlines you would like to have completed from time to time in case paints are released. I can tell you several painters are working hard right now during this COVID-19 crisis and many airlines are in progress, especially in Europe. Eventually, every airline in this thread will have repaint links. \\Augsburg Airways 1999 Augsburg Airways (1980-2013) IATA: IQ ICAO: AUB CALLSIGN: AUGSBURG AIR Augsburg Airways was a German regional airline which was founded in 1980 as Interot Airways. Initially, the company flew B200 King Airs on cooperate shuttle services on behalf of a German paper manufacturing company. In 1986, schedule passenger flights began using the B200s on a route from Augsburg(AGB) to Dusseldorf(DUS). Soon after, the airline was operating 19-seat Beech 1900Cs on commuter services based out of AGB to various German cities. DHC-8-100s were added in 1991 and the airline expanded internationally to Italy and England in 1994. By 1996, the airline became a part of "Team Lufthansa" and the name of the company was changed to Augsburg Airways. Aircraft began to be repainted in a Lufthansa regional livery. While by 1999 most of the fleet had been repainted into "Team Lufthansa" colors and most flights were operated on behalf of Lufthansa, Augsburg Airways did retain their own independent flying, mostly on routes out of AGB, and a few aircraft did not wear Lufthansa colors for this purpose. While research shows that a maximum of 4 aircraft, 3 DHC-8-100s and 1 DHC-8-300, wore some form of the Augsburg Airways livery, 6 aircraft were required for the independent flights to be covered, suggesting that aircraft in the Lufthansa colors must have covered some of Augsburg's own flights. For now, I have used 2 Lufthansa-dedicated DHC-8-100s as the extra aircraft, and when Lufthansa and it's commuter carriers are completed in the future, this carrier will be updated with the flights of those 2 planes being merged into the Lufthansa regional plans. The DHC-8-300 and 1 DHC-8-100 wore full Augsburg Airways colors, while the other 2 DHC-8-100s wore an albino livery and a white fuselage livery with an Augsburg tail respectively. This flying would continue until 2002, when Augsburg Airways ended it's AGB-based flying and Lufthansa took 100% control of reservations and ticketing on all flights. Augsburg Airways would continue to grow as an important member of the Lufthansa regional network, but Lufthansa decided to consolidate it's regional carriers in the early 2010s. As a result, Lufthansa ended the contract with Contact Air in 2012 and Augsburg Airways in 2013, with some aircraft being sent to the main Lufthansa regional carrier, CityLine, and others being stored or returned to lessors. Flightplans by Vireak Ball. Most repaints are needed, even for the Lufthansa colors. However, while the DHC-8-300 in these flightplans did not wear the Lufthansa livery at the time, the TFS DHC-8-300 in the Lufthansa livery used by Augsburg Airways at the time may be used as a substitute for now and may be found here: library.avsim.net/search.php?SearchTerm=aub_dash8_300.zip&CatID=root&Go=SearchDHC-8-100\300: Download Augsburg Airways 1999 Flightplans Here

\\Azzurra Air 1998 Azzurra Air (1996-2004) IATA: ZS ICAO: AZI CALLSIGN: AZZURRA Azzurra Air was founded as an Milan-Bergamo(BGY)-based charter and regional carrier, owned 49% by Air Malta and 51% by Italian interests. Until 1998, the airline operated only with Avro RJ70s and RJ85s leased from parent company Air Malta(who did not operate most of these aircraft themselves at any point). In addition to the charter flights, limited scheduled flights were started mostly from Turin(TRN) and BGY. In November of 1997, the airline began operating flights as a regional affiliate of Alitalia, and additional Avro RJs began to arrive in the Alitalia livery with Azzurra Air titles while other aircraft were painted. A few aircraft retained the full Azzurra Air livery, and independent scheduled flights and charters resumed in addition to the Alitalia flying. In 1998, the airline received 2 brand new 737-700s, which it exclusively used on charters at the time, some of which were beyond the useful range of the ARJ. All flights operated for Alitalia are included in the Alitalia flightplans, while all independent Azzurra Air flights as well as charters are included in these flightplans. These plans use a single Avro RJ70 operating most of the airline's scheduled services, while the RJ85 does a few scheduled routes and several charter routes which were actually operated in 1998. In addition to holiday flying across the Mediterranean, I have included the delivery flight of one of the 737-700s from Boeing Field(BFI) to BGY, via Montreal(YMX) and Shannon(SNN) as it routed in real life. All other aircraft in the fleet were flying for Alitalia at the time. The airline would add A320s a few years later to expand it's charter operations, but ran into serious financial difficulties soon afterwards. In late 2003, Air Malta repossessed 4 of the Avro RJs being flown by Azzurra Air for lack of payment, and the airline failed soon afterwards in 2004.

\\Comair South Africa 1998 Comair South Africa (1948 - Present) IATA: MN ICAO: CAW (also use "BAW" for parking) CALLSIGN: COMAIR Comair is still one of South Africa's largest airlines today, and has a long history, havng been founded immediately after WWII by former military pilots. Flights began in 1948 flying Cessna 195s on a route between Johannesburg(JNB) and Welkom(WEL). The airline was successful and quickly, but was not until the 1990s that Comair began to compete head to head with South African Airways and the other carriers on the nations high density domestic route, such as flights to Cape Town(CPT) and Durban(DUR). Around this time, the airline also added international flights to other African nations, and British Airways took notice, signing Comair to a franchise agreement in 1996. With this agreement, Comairs flights began to be marketed as British Airways, and the aircraft were repainted into a modified version of the 1984-introduced British Airways "Landor" colors. But as by 1997, the World Tails\World Colours livery was introduced, the Comair fleet began to receive these colors and the whole fleet wore the new British Airways livery by the end of the 1990s with many livery variations. The 1998 fleet consisted of several 737-200s and 727-200s, which would fly on for many years more well past the retirement of the types from most North American and European carriers. Busy domestic routes are operated with high frequency, while most international routes are operated once or twice per day or just a few times per week. To this day, Comair continues flying on behalf of British Airways with all planes painted in their colors. Flightplans by Vadim Stepanyuk. Most paints are still needed I think, unless you just want to use JB's mainline British Airways paints which are slightly different. The following paints are available: AIA 737-200 (Blue Pool and Ndebele Martha): library.avsim.net/search.php?SearchTerm=comair.zip&CatID=root&Go=Search727-200\737-200: Download Comair South Africa 1998 Flightplans Here

//Interair 1998 Interair (1994 - Present) IATA: D6 ICAO: ILN CALLSIGN: INLINE Interair started operations in 1994 as a small domestic South African carrier, based in Johannesburg(JNB). By the end of 1995, scheduled flights were added to various sub-Saharan African nations, and charter flights were operated to other destinations in Africa as well. By 1998, the airline was flying with a single 737-200 leased from Aero Zambia wearing the full colors of that airline with "Interair" titles, a short lived and rare bird. The airline would grow in size and also begin specializing in aircraft maintenance for classic older jets which the carrier operated at various points in time such as the 707, 737-200, and 727. The airline is still alive in 2020 flying 737-200s and a 727-200!

\\Sun Air 1998 Sun Air (1979-1999) IATA: BV ICAO: SSN CALLSIGN: SUNSTREAM Sun Air was a South African domestic airline, which can trace it's roots back to commuter airline Bop Air which started flying in 1979. Bop Air was short for "Bophuthatswana Air", with Bophuthatswana being the South African state in which the airline was based. For most of the airline's history, it operated turboprops including the EMB-110, EMB-120, and HS748 on a select few domestic routes, most notably Sun City which would lead to the 1994 name change of the carrier to "Sun Air". The airline's of South Africa were state-owned until the mid 1990s, and in 1996, the airline privatized and changed it's business model to high frequency jetliner service on trunk routes, and the turboprops were abandoned in favor of DC-9-30s, MD-80s, and a 727-200. As South Africa only has a few true trunk routes given the economic disparity in the region, the route networked remained small, though by 1998, the airline had 10 jetliners flying the company's 4 routes. In addition to the domestic flying, the airline also served Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe(VFA) at the time, which is a very popular tourist destination in the region. Between South African Airways, Nationwide, and Comair who had recently become backed by British Airways, the competition on the few heavily traveled domestic routes was a blood bath, and Sun Air failed in 1999, just 3 years into the new business model but 30 years since the company began flying. There was a serious attempt to re-start the airline in 2003 with yet another business model and totally new management, this time re-fitting the DC-9-30s with a 72-seat all business class lay out, but this re-start had failed by 2004. The following year, another carrier bought the rights to the Sun Air name and planned flights to Europe, but these did not materialize. As far as I can tell, all aircraft wore the same standard livery. Flightplans by Vadim Stepanyuk. Fleet repaints completed by 747sp (including the HS748s retired before 1998) are here: app.box.com/s/uwzpfo9jimy64yqhsqg4 DC-9-30\MD-80\727-200: Download Sun Air 1998 Flightplans Here

\\Nationwide Airlines 1998 Nationwide Airlines (1995-2008) IATA: CE ICAO: NTW CALLSIGN: NATIONWIDE Nationwide Airlines was a large domestic South African carrier which operated both scheduled and charter services in the region. Initially, the airline was founded as Nationwide Air Charter in 1991 and began flying in 1995 with several Bac 1-11-500s, one of which was in a dedicated cargo role. In addition to these flights, the airline began flying humanitarian charter flights in support of organizations such as the United Nations (UN). Soon after the launch of flights, the airline changed it's name to Nationwide Airlines. In 1997 when rival domestic carrier Comair began flying on behalf of British Airways, Nationwide struck a codeshare agreement with SABENA, who had a vast African network. Under the agreement, Nationwide's flights were marketed as SABENA Nationwide, but the aircraft retained the Nationwide Airlines livery with SABENA stickers in addition to the Nationwide titles. By 1998, the airline was flying high frequencies on a handful of the few densely traveled domestic routes in South Africa, but international charters were common and the carrier had a vast charter network at the time. The fleet consisted of several Bac 1-11-500s, some Bac 1-11-400s, a 727-100, and a 727-200. One Bac 1-11-500 wore a special livery featuring a detailed whale painted across the right side of the aircraft, and the Bac 1-11-400s wore a hybrid British Airways livery, as they had come recently from that carrier. The 727s wore the standard livery with SABENA titles. In 1999, the agreement with SABENA ended, and the airline began scheduled international flights in 2001. In 2003, a 767-300 was added for flights from JNB-LGW, with hopes to expand into Asia. While a second 767 was never delivered and the Asia flights never started, Nationwide built a great reputation for punctuality on flights to London and ended up entering a codeshare agreement with Virgin Atlantic, adding their logo to some aircraft. However, a serious incident occurred in 2007 where a 737-200 physically lost it's engine on rotation departing Cape Town, shutting down the airport and damaging hydraulic cables which very nearly lead to a fatal accident if not for the exemplary skill of the flight crew. An investigation revealed that the cause of the engine detachment was the failure to complete an airworthiness directive that had been issued 3 years prior. The airline was grounded and lost a lot of business in providing aircraft engineering services to other air carriers, where the airline made much of it's money in addition to the flights themselves. Flights did restart in 2008, but the global spike in fuel prices made it impossible for the carrier to make up the money lost during the grounding, and the carrier was liquidated in 2008. Note that like all other airlines, this carrier uses the old Durban Airport(FADN) instead of the new airport which opened several years ago(FALE). Flightplans by Vadim Stepanyuk. Though the airline wore a similar livery from the 1990s well into the early 2000s, there are no known repaints of the 1997-1999 livery with "SABENA" titles. The following repaints are "close" to the late 1990s livery for the time being: DMAI Bac 1-11-500: On flightsim.com as "1-115tm.zip" AIA 737-200(not used in these plans, but it is in the correct livery except for Virgin Atlantic stickers and a website address): On Avsim as "aia_737_200_ntw_zs-omg.zip" AIA 727-200(slightly different livery and Virgin Atlantic titles): On flightsim.com as "aa72nawd.zip" Bac 1-11\727 scheduled flights: Bac 1-11\727 charter flights: Download Nationwide Airlines 1998 Flightplans Here

\\LAM - Linhas Aereas de Mocambique 1998 LAM - Linhas Aereas de Mocambique (1936 - Present) IATA: TM ICAO: LAM CALLSIGN: MOZAMBIQUE Linhas Aereas de Mocambique, commonly known as "LAM", is the Maputo(MPM)-based national airline of the small island nation of Mozambique in Africa, and one of the oldest active airlines in the world. Like much of Africa, Mozambique has been adversely affected by poverty and warfare over the last century and as a result, the national airline has been eclectic and has been through dozens of aircraft types over the years. Traditionally, LAM has usually had 2-4 aircraft types, usually 1-2 examples of each, flying domestic and regional Africa routes, while 1 long haul aircraft is usually in the fleet capable of flights to Europe. Initially, the airline was founded as DETA - Direcção de Exploração de Transportes Aéreos, and preformed scheduled and charter flights in the region with props until the late 1970s when a 707 enabled the carrier to expand across Africa on to Portugal. In 1980, corruption charges lead the the shut down and restructuring of the airline, which emerged as LAM. By 1998, long haul flights were operated with a 747SP, which had recently been returned from Air Namibia to South African Airways and was on a short-lived lease. The 747SP had just replaced a 767-200 in the fleet earlier in 1998, but not long after this schedule was printed, the 747SP was involved in a #3 engine explosion on departure from MPM and the aircraft was seemingly retired. Regional flights across Africa were operated by a 737-200 and a Fokker 100 which was acquired in 1996 by Royal Swazi, with the Fokker 100 being a fairly rare type in Africa at the time. The rest of the flights were operated by various props, many of them various types of small general aviation planes, but only the CASA 212, Beechcraft B1900C and Beechcraft BE200 King Air were included in the schedule, so I only included those 2 types for now. In 1999, the airline privatized and shortened it's name to LAM Mozambique Airlines. The airline went through various aircraft types over the years, but was banned from the European Union in 2011, along with all other carriers from Mozambique. Despite this, the carrier survived and is still alive today. Flightplans by Vadim Stepanyuk and myself.

//Air Malawi 1998 Air Malawi (1964-2013) IATA: QM ICAO: AIM CALLSIGN: MALAWI Air Malawi was the national airline of the sub-saharan East African nation of Malawi. Though a poor nation, the country is popular for regional tourism with many remote lodging sites popular for safari adventures. The carrier began as part of the conglomerate airline Central African Airways (CAA), which like Air Afrique, was a multinational carrier. In 1967, Malawi became an independent nation, and the airline adopted the Air Malawi name. Though Lilongwe(LLW) is the main transport hub for Malawi, the airline was actually based in Blantyre(BLZ), Malawi's second largest city and financial capital. Initially the airline flew large props, but eventually it took on jets like the Bac 1-11 and VC-10. During it's early history, the airline mostly focused on connecting South Africa with points in Malawi and neighboring nations. The VC-10, leased from BOAC, was used to launch a flight to London(LGW) on a BLZ-NBO-LGW route in 1974. Sadly, this long haul service was short-lived as the airline was forced to return the VC-10 in 1978 due to rising operating costs, and these flights never did return. From then on, the carrier served regional routes only with the exception being a 747SP leased from South African Airways and painted in Air Malawi colors for 40 days in 1974 just to be shown off on a charter to London Heathrow(LHR) by the Malawian President at the time. The airline went through several aircraft types, such as the Shorts Skyvan and the HS-748, and also flew 3 different 737-300s. But by 1998, the fleet was down to 1 737-300, a ATR 42-320, a Do-228-212, and a Cessna 208 Caravan with a second on order to replace the Do-228. The airline served a handful of international routes in the region with the 737 and ATR, with a focus city in Harare(HRE), while the Cessna 208 and Do-228 were used domestically, largely on flights to the various lodge destinations. Most of these destinations were remote airstrips that have not had airline service in years, so it is unlikely most of them are AI capable by default. The 737 makes it as far north as Kenya and down to South Africa. This was the end of stability for the carrier, as by the year 2000, the airline was privatized and was then in severe turmoil for the next 13 years. With limited government support and little revenue, the airline couldn't keep up with modern expectations, and did not seriously begin to explore electronic ticketing and public internet resources until 2009. Ethiopian Airlines bought a 49% stake in the carrier in 2013, but as it quickly became apparent that the airline was in a state where creditor repossessions seemed imminent, the company was quickly liquidated. The airline maintained the same livery from the late 1980s until 2013. Flightplans by eth72s and myself.
