//Kampuchea Airlines\Orient Thai 1998 Kampuchea Airlines (1997-2004) IATA: KT ICAO: KMP CALLSIGN: KAMPUCHEA Orient Thai (1995-2018) IATA: OX ICAO: OEA CALLSIGN: ORIENT THAI Orient Thai was founded in 1995, and Kampuchea Airlines of Cambodia was founded in 1997 as the Cambodian sub-division of Orient Thai, both connecting Phenom Phen(PEN) with Bangkok(DMK) and Hong Kong(VHHX). The equipment swapped back and forth accordingly, but as the plans called for one L-1011 based in DMK and one in PNH, I split them accordingly. The Orient Thai L-1011 wore an early livery of which I do not know of any paints, the Kampuchea one was EI-CNN wearing ex-Aer Turas colors, which is on the HJG site for their L-1011 and accurate minus the titles. Once HJG released the AI L-1011, the required liveries will be completed.  Download Kampuchea Orient Thai flightplans here |

//Angkor Airways 1998 Angkor Airways (1998-??) IATA: TI ICAO: AKW CALLSIGN: ANGKORAIRWAYS This one is a little puzzling. The OAG identifies "TI" as Cambodian carrier Angkor Airways, which flies an MD-90 daily between TPE and PNH. However, I could not find a single photo of it! Most information shows Angkor Airways, in a similar livery to Taiwan's FAT, starting in 2003. But several sources outside the OAG show this MD-90 operation existing in the late 1990s. I do not have a single photo of the MD-90, only MD-80s and 757s in the 2003 livery. Any info is appreciated! For now, my educated guess is this flight must have been operated by Uni Air's MD-90s, assumingly in their full colors. So for now, just use a Uni Air MD-90 to cover this flight. The AIA MD-90 Uni Air repaint may be found On Flightsim.com as "aim90uia.zip". MD-90 operated by Uni Air:  Download Angkor Airways 1998 Here |

//Pacific Airlines 1998 Pacific Airlines (1991 - Present) IATA: BL ICAO: PIC CALLSIGN: PACIFIC AIRLINES Pacific Airlines was Vietnam's "other" scheduled carrier which started with humble beginnings, a few 737s flying around Vietnam and occasionally being leased out to other carriers, notably Air Afrique and TEA Cyrpus. In 1998, during the Asian Economic Crisis, the airline was operating with MD-80s from Taiwanese LCC U-Land Airlines who had recently bought a controlling interest in the company and expanded it to compete with established Vietnam Airlines. A single aircraft wore the "Pacific Airlines" titles while the the rest of the flights were covered with planes in the standard U-Land livery. This is represented in these plans. U-Land was one of the first carriers to offer seat back LCD screens and the first to offer moving maps, which gave Pacific Airline an edge over Vietnam Airlines using the U-Land MD-80s. Despite the humble beginnings, this airline went on to become Jetstar Pacific though U-Land itself failed in early 2000. The AIA MD-80 has been painted and is on Avsim as "pic28035.zip" while the U-Land livery may be found in 2 variations as "ula88899.zip" and "ula88989.zip".

//President Airlines 1998 President Airlines (1997-2007) IATA: TO ICAO: PSD CALLSIGN: PRESIDENT President Airlines of Cambodia was founded in 1997 as a subsidiary of Filipino carrier Laoag International Airlines, and operated a 727 in full Delta colors with the logos painted over, and a single Fokker 27. The airline ran routes from Phenom Phen, Cambodia(PNH) to some large cities in the area without much competition from the region such as Hong Kong(VHHX) and Shanghai(SHA) and notably also flew a route to Taipei(TPE) via Laoag (LAO), which saw very little air service. The Fokker 27s did a domestic route to Siem Rep(REP). The 727 was only operated from about 1997-1998, then a Fokker 28 took over until a 737-200 in full President colors was added and remained the back bone of the fleet until the carrier failed in 2007. I have still yet to find a picture of the Fokker 27, so any help is welcome!

//Vietnam Airlines 1998 Vietnam Airlines (1956 - Present) IATA: VN ICAO: HVN CALLSIGN: VIETNAM AIRLINES Vietnam Airlines was the flagship carrier of Southeast Asia in 1998, offering the only longhaul flights in the Vietnam region as well as the only 1 of 2 carriers offering scheduled domestic flights. The airline is based in Ho Chi Minh City(SGN), but has a hub in Hanoi(HAN) and a focus city in Da Nang(DAD). The 767-300 was the flagship at the time, serving some major Asian cities as well as Europe, Australia and Dubai. A320s did most of the intra-Asia flying while the ATR-72s and Fokker 70s stayed within the Vietnam\Cambodia area. In 1998, the domestic market in Vietnam was small, so while HAN-SGN is a busy route, most of the other routes are only flown a few times daily, or a few times weekly. The modern green livery was introduced in 1998 on a 767-300, but the Airbus fleet did not get the new colors for a few more years. The airline would grow into a global carrier, adding modern aircraft like the 787-10 and A350. The flightplans called for 1 extra 767 and Fokker 70, and 2 extra ATR-72s which I have segregated in case you wish to delete them.

//Royal Air Cambodge 1998 Royal Air Cambodge (1994-2001) IATA: VJ ICAO: RAC CALLSIGN: CAMBODIA Royal Air Cambodge was the national airline of Cambodia, and was about halfway through it's life in 1998, having started in 1994 and closed in 2001. The airline was flying a pair of 737-400s to several of the major Asian port cities within 2-3 hours flying time, while the 3 ATR-72s did domestic flying and served the nearby Asian nations. Though I can not find record of more than 3 ATRs, but the flight schedule calls for 5 aircraft. There are quite a few flights that were unable to be covered by the 3 ATRs, so I wonder if some were leased at the time, but I am unable to confirm this. The planes are segregated, but again, they do represent a decent portion of the flights so I recommend keeping them.

//Lao Aviation 1998 Lao Aviation (1976 - Present) IATA: QV ICAO: LAO CALLSIGN: LAO Lao Aviation was the predecessor to Laos' national airline, Lao Airlines, based in Vientiane(VTE). The carrier was founded in 1976 with the merger of Laos 2 commercial carriers, Royal Air Lao and Lao Air Lines. Initially, the carrier operated mostly domestic and regional flights operating Soviet equipment like the An-24. The carrier operated as a private company during this time, and did not add aircraft or routes until 737s arrived in 1992, at which point regional international flights were added. A total of 3 737-200s were operated between 1992 and 1998, but on short term leases. By 1998, Lao Aviation was the only scheduled airline operating in Laos, and had an interesting fleet consisting of the An-24, YN-2, YN-7, ATR-72, and an Mi-8 helicopter. The 737s were retired in early 1998, with the lone ATR-72 becoming the flagship of the airline serving some international routes to Cambodia(PNH), Vietnam(SGN), China(KMG) and Thailand(CNX). The rest of the fleet served domestic routes, usually only a few days per week with a lot of ground time. In 2000, the airline signed a deal for a codeshare with Chinese carrier China Yunnan Airlines and was again nationalized by the Lao government. The airline changed their name to Lao Airlines in 2004, and eventually added 4 A320s which serve alongside 7 ATR 72s and some of the older aircraft like the Y-7\12 and MA-60 today. Note: Flight Simulator only allows 7 characters in the registration entries, and several planes in this fleet had 8-9 characters so I shortened them. I could not find a registration for the Mi-8 helicopter. If you want to make these plans valid for early 1998, you may use the 737-200 in place of the ATR as it had the same route network more or less.

//Air Mandalay 1998 Air Mandalay (1994 - Present) IATA: 6T ICAO: AMY CALLSIGN: SIX TANGO Air Mandalay is a regional airline in Myanmar, formerly Burma, based in Yangon(RGN). The carrier was founded in 1994 with ATR 72s, flying mostly domestically but also to Thailand. In 1998, the carrier was operating 3 French-registered ATR 72s to 6 destinations in the region. The airline was one of a handful of airlines operating in the region at the time, and had the most modern fleet as well as one of the best safety records in an area where crashes were still very common at the time. As the region is troubled to this day with poverty, frequent weather disasters, and an ongoing genocide, the airline has remained very small, but managed to survive. The airline would go on to add a total of 5 ATR 72s as well as 4 ATR 42s and a pair of ERJ-145 jets and is still around today, accident free.

//Yangon Airways 1998 Yangon Airways (1996 - Present) IATA: HK ICAO: FSC CALLSIGN: HOTEL KILO Yangon Airways is a regional airline in Myanmar, based in Yangon(RGN). The carrier was founded in 1996 with a pair of ATR 72s in competition with Air Mandalay and Myanmar National Airways on domestic routes in Myanmar. I do not show Yangon operating more than 2 ATRs until 2003, but the plans call for 4, with many routes left out! This leads me to think that some other equipment might have filled in for some flights, or that the airline submitted the schedule but then reduced frequencies. The 2 extra planes are included and segregated. Note that the airline later changed it's IATA code, ICAO code, and callsign when Avianca became "HK", so use the ones above for the 90s and not the modern ones. In the years since it's founding, the airline has yet to have a livery change. The carrier would briefly operate an ATR 42 in 2001, but otherwise has been an all ATR 72 carrier, having operated 6 of those aircraft since it's founding with 3 active still today. Like Air Mandalay, this carrier has managed a perfect safety record, unlike the national carrier which was one of the most dangerous airlines in the world for some time.

//Myanmar National Airlines 1998 Myanmar National Airlines(1948 - Present) IATA: UB ICAO: UBA CALLSIGN: UNION AIR Myanmar National Airlines is the regional division of Myanmar's national airline, with Myanmar Airways International being the country's international carrier, based in Yangon(RGN). Myanmar National Airlines was founded as Union of Burma Airways and was the result of a merger between 3 Burmese carriers. The airline first operated 6 DeHavilland Dove aircraft on domestic routes after WWII, but added international services to Calcutta(CCU), Bangkok(DMK), and Chittangong(CGP). Other types like the DC-3, Vickers Viscount, and Fokker 27 joined the fleet and the carrier joined the jet age with 727s in 1969. With these aircraft, the airline expanded to Kathmandu(KTM), Penang(PEN), Singapore(SIN), and Hong Kong(HKG). The carrier began to focus on the Fokker 27 and new Fokker 28 jets and other types slowly left the fleet over the next 2 decades. In 1989, Burma became Myanmar, and the carrier changed it's name to Myanmar National Airlines. In 1993, all international assets were transferred to a new carrier called Myanmar Airways International, often referred to as MAI, and the carrier focused on regional routes. The airline was plagued with accidents until the early 90s, having crashed 16 out of 25 Fokker 27s they operated over the years as well as a Fokker 28 and 11 other aircraft! That is quite a feat for a tiny airline which rarely had more than a dozen or so aircraft in the fleet. By 1998, the fleet was all Fokkers. An extra Fokker 28 was required to complete the schedule, and is segregated in case you wish to exclude it. Over the years, various types would join the fleet for short periods of time, including a 757 leased from Royal Brunei Airways, and today the carrier operates with a sizable fleet of ATR 72s, some 737-800s and EMB-190s, and a B1900, MA-60 and ATR 42. There is an F-28 available here: www.fs2000.org/2007/02/08/fsx-myanma-airways-fokker-f28-4000/The F-27, however, is still needed.

Note that these plans use "ZPPX" instead of "ZPPP", as a different airport was in use for ZPPP at the time which will be included with basic scenery eventually when China is completed in the 1998 project.

In 1998, Druk Air was the only scheduled carrier in Bhutan in 1998, operating a pair of Bae-146s across the region. The carrier is well known for being based out of the infamous Paro airport(PBH), which requires a demanding approach across mountainous terrain. However, due to the equipment Druk Air had at the time, the airline routed most flights via DMK, and the aircraft spend as much time(or more) in Bangkok as they do home in Pero!

The Tu-134's, Il-18's, and the An-24's were on the way out in this era - so it may not be absolutely 100% real but it'd add some flavor without mucking things up too much.

//Royal Brunei Airlines 1998 Royal Brunei Airlines (1975 - Present) IATA: RB ICAO: RBA CALLSIGN: BRUNEI Royal Brunei Airlines operated by Borneo Airways (1997-1999) IATA: RB ICAO: RBAX CALLSIGN: BRUNEI Royal Brunei Airlines is the national airline of the Kingdom of Brunei, whom has long been passionate about their airline with the Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah in present day an avid pilot type rated on the companies' Boeing 787s. The airline has never been profitable in it's recent history, and is more or less a hobby airline for the nation, serving routes based on pristine rather than solid demand. That said, given the size of Brunei, the airline had an impressive network in 1998. The 767 was the mainstay of the Royal Brunei fleet at the time, with a pair of 757s and Fokker 100s supplementing the decent-sized 767 fleet. Service extended via focus cities in DXB and AUH to Europe and down to Australia at the time. Additionally, a short-lived regional network was active at the time with Do-228 flights operated by Borneo Airways of Malaysia on behalf of Royal Brunei Airlines, using the "BRUNEI" callsign. Borneo only operated from 1997-1999 and was a fully-owned subsidiary of Royal Brunei Airlines, despite being a Malaysian carrier, which is why it used their codes and callsigns. The plans include an extra 767, Fokker 100, and Do-228 which are all segregated in case you wish to retain the real number of aircraft. Though the Fokker 50s were only introduced in the mid 1990s, they were already gone by 1998. Some of the Sultan's VIP aircraft wore the Royal Brunei livery at various times(757s, 767s), and in 1998, one A340-200 was painted as such. However, that aircraft is included separately in the Brunei Sultan's Flight 1998 flightplans. The airline would eventually replace the Fokkers and 757s with A319s and A320s, while 777-200s and 787s would take over long haul flights. The airline is alive and well today. There is a good freeware FSX scenery(which works well in P3D) on Avsim that I have backdated to the 1990s. It is on Avsim as "wbsb2012.zip".

//Bangkok Airways 1998 Bangkok Airways (1968 - Present) IATA: PG ICAO: BKP CALLSIGN: BANGKOK AIR Bangkok Airways was founded in 1968 as a Thai Air-Taxi company called Sahakol Air. In 1986, the airline was the first privately owned company to start domestic flights in Thailand and compete with Thai Airways. The airline changed it's name to Bangkok Airways in 1989 to better reflect it's new business model. In 1998, Bangkok Airways was still Thai International's only domestic competition, and had expanded into regional international routes to Cambodia serving both Phenom Phen(PNH) and Siem Riep(REP) as well as Singapore(SIN). The airline operated several ATR-72-202ss and a single ATR-42, mostly on routes that Thai International neglected to serve, but also on limited international routes including Singapore. The fleet all wore the same livery at the time with bold stripes across the fuselage. While a smaller company, Bangkok Air had a much better safety rating by 1998 compared to that of rival Thai Airways, with only 1 fatal crash in it's history having lost a DHC-8 in a landing accident in 1990. The airline would continue to find success alongside Thai, and survive the uprising of Thai Ultra-Low-Cost-Carriers(ULCCs), adding larger jets over the years including the Boeing 717, MD-90, and several Airbus A319s and A320s and is alive today.
