//British Mediterranean Airways 1998 British Mediterranean Airways (1994-2007) IATA: KJ ICAO: LAJ CALLSIGN: BEE MED British Mediterranean, also known as B Med, was founded in 1994 as an independent airline to link London with cities in the Middle East that the company felt were undeserved by British Airways. For the first several years, the airline operated with just 1 A320. However, British Airways offered to make B Med a subsidiary and it expanded in 1997 from 1 aircraft to 3 and also moved to British Airway's terminal 4 in LHR and the planes were repainted into the BA World Colours livery. By 1998, all 3 were wearing the "World Tails" colors with in full British Airways titles, only a small sticker by the boarding door revealed the true identity of the airline.. From 1997-1998, one aircraft wore "experimental" Landor colors with full British Airways titles prior to repaint in to the new colors while the other 2 wore full British Mediterranean colors until April 1998 or so if you wish to use that livery. The plans call for 4 aircraft, which leads me to believe that BA operated their own A320s sometimes on these routes. I have segregated this extra aircraft and will personally just have it flying in the old colors, but feel free to have a random BA A320 operate these flights. Syria was still on the route map, as was Lebanon, both were discontinued later in 1998. In 2007, British Airways absorbed B Med.

//Martinair 1998 Martinair (1958-2011) IATA: MP ICAO: MPH CALLSIGN: MARTINAIR Martinair was Holland's premiere charter outfit for many years before consolidating to an all-cargo operation, which they are still active with today. Over the years, Martinair had operated a wide range of aircraft large and small, but the narrowbody jets like the 757, A320, and MD-80 were all dropped by the late 1990s. By 1998, Martinair still had a large scheduled operation to supplement their charter operations and had consolidated the passenger fleet to 747-200s, MD-11s, and 767-300s. The 747's only scheduled route was a weekly flight to Cancun(CUN/MMUN), the rest of the 747 flights are charters. Charter flights are all based off information found around the internet and a wide range of destinations are served, all of which were operated at least once in real life. Martinair had special titles celebrating their 50th anniversary on most of their aircraft in 1998. Martinair did not operate much out of Dutch airports other than Amsterdam(AMS), so that is where you will see most of the aircraft between flights. Martinair would retire their passenger operations, last using 767-300s, in 2011, becoming an all cargo carrier. Cargo flights were primarily flown on behalf of KLM, who decided to downsize their cargo operation dramatically in 2016, leading to the retirement of several aircraft included all MD-11s in the fleet. Today, Martinair mostly flies 747-400Fs in the full KLM Cargo livery. Michael Pearson has done all the paints on Avsim: FAIB 747-200: faib_747-200_mph.zip FSPX MD-11: fspxai_md-11_mph_374165.zip FAIB 767-300: faib_767-300_mph.zip 767-300 scheduled flights: 767-300 charter flights: MD-11 scheduled flights: MD-11 charter flights: 747-200 scheduled flights: 747-200 charter flights: Download Martinair Holland 1998 Flightplans Here

\\KLM 1998 KLM Royal Dutch Airlines (1919 - Present) IATA: KL ICAO: KLM CALLSIGN: KLM KLM is one of the world's oldest airlines, and has long since been a global carrier. KLM was historically a huge customer for Boeing and McDonnell Douglas, and for many decades did not fly any Airbus jets. By 1998, the KLM/Northwest alliance(the first official airline alliance in the world) was in full swing, and KLM was serving MSP, DTW, and even MEM daily with it's own metal while Northwest took over from KLM from BOS, IAD, and some other cities. KLM had a vast route network spanning the globe, serving much of Africa and the Middle East with many "tag on" routes onward from Amsterdam, which was the airline's only hub. KLM was flying the MD-11, 747-200SUD(stretched upper deck), 747-200SUD Combi, 747-300 Combi, 747-400, 747-400 Combi, 767-300ER, 737-300, 737-400, and 6 mainline Fokker 100s which were short lived before going to KLM UK in late 1998 then on to CityHopper. Unfortunately, in the OAG, KLM only specified if a 747 was a combi or not(as in 747=744/742 while 74M can be a combi version of the 742,743, or 744) and did not differentiate between 737-300s and 737-400s. I did my best using what data I had to make the routes realistic, but the aircraft numbers at least are correct except for some extra 767s and 737s that you may remove if you wish. KLM, like many other airlines, created a subsidiary to serve Taiwan as they were not allowed to fly there while serving mainland China. This subsidiary, KLM Asia, is still around today though most airlines have long since retired their Taiwan divisions. I also had issues making sure the TPE flights were all operated by "KLM Asia" 747s, so I ended up assigning 1 extra 747(I have 5, in real life there were 4) the Asia livery to ensure that you do not see a standard KLM 747 at TPE as they did not visit in real life. You may switch this to a normal 747 if you choose. The 747s would fly on until 2020, when COVID-19 lead to a premature retirement. KLM would eventually add A330s to the fleet, but most aircraft were replaced with Boeing 777s and 787s and the tradition of flying American aircraft continues at this airline after their centennial anniversary. The flightplans and fleet repaints by Raphael Rodrigues are on Avsim as "klm_1998.zip". Alternatively, Michael Pearson has also painted most of KLM's historic fleet on Avsim if you wish to throw those paints in as well as it is good to have options.

\\British Airways 1998 v3 (v2; changed aircraft order for better parking, fixed errors making a few planes not display, added DC-10-30 retired aircraft for LGW; v3 added variations for Nils Gosselin's 767 fleet) British Airways (1919 - Present) IATA: BA ICAO: BAW CALLSIGN: Speedbird British Airways is the national airline of the United Kingdom and one of the oldest active airlines on earth. British Airway's is one of the world's largest global airlines, a position it has held since the pioneering of longhaul flights. Due to Great Britain's world status, the carrier has long established routes in every corner of the globe, including Middle Eastern countries where other Western airlines generally were not welcome. By 1998, British Airways was in a period of transition, still operating some classic aircraft like the 737-200, 747-100, 747-200, DC-10-30, and the mighty Concorde, but adding A320s 777-200s, and 747-400s quickly. British Airways had also just started a branding change after holding onto the 1984 "Landor" livery for 13 years. The infamous British Airways "World Tails" livery was introduced and quickly applied to the fleet. By 1998, the colors had spread to much of the British Airways, while there were still a significant number of aircraft in the Landor Livery as well. I put a great amount of effort into ensuring the 1998 fleet is as accurate as possible, so this should be a fantastic representation of 1998 British Airways many liveries at the time Something I assume many of us have been looking forward too. As much as many of us loved the Landor livery, know that some fleets were already 100%(or close to that) complete with World Colors by the end off 1998. There were no Landor 737-300s left, while just 2 A320-100s/Concordes and 1 A320-200 remained in the old livery while no DC-10-30s ever got the new colors. I also took into account and included "version 2" Landor paints in the aircraft file as Michael Pearson and Jurgen both made alternate versions(several in some cases) of the Landor colors on various aircraft types while including "special liveries" such as the 737-200 with "Birmingham" titles and a British Asia Airways 747 flying in the regular British Airways fleet. The largest hubs in 1998 were London-Heathrow(LHR) and London-Gatwick(LGW), with other hubs in Manchester(MAN), Glasgow(GLA) and Birmingham(BHX). Business heavy routes tend to be operated from LHR, while leisure routes and those to secondary cities tend to operate from LGW. British Airways only participated in heavily traveled domestic route with the mainline fleet, leaving most cities to be covered by their commuter carriers. Very little longhaul is operated from the other hubs, limited to a 747-400 flying MAN-ISB(due to the huge Pakistan population in MAN) and JFK flights from BHX and GLA. A decent amount of 747-100s were still active, far outnumbering the active 747-200s in fact, but all were still in the Landor livery while 3 747-200s got "World Tails" colors. A large fleet of 747-400s did most of the longest routes all across the globe, including all flights to South America, Asia, Australia and Southern Africa with almost all routes originating in LHR with a few exceptions. The DC-10-30s were in their last year, primarily flying longhaul routes to Central Africa and the Caribbean, with a few routes to the Middle East as well excludively from LGW. None of these aircraft were repainted in the new colors as they were retired by year's end. Boeing 777-200s were arriving fast, newer ones were all in the new colors but many of the older ones still wore the Landor livery. These aircraft were used extensively on Long Haul flights to the Middle East and secondary markets in the USA. 757s were operated in large numbers, mostly flying high density routes across Europe but also operating an LHR-JFK-YYZ route and were mostly operated out of LHR. The 767-300s were some of the rare Rolls Royce-powered examples and also mostly stuck to high density European Routes but also had a few routes to the US East Coast. The A320 fleet included a mix of A320-200s and A320-100s, with the -100s being the very early model A320 with no wingtip fences. These aircraft were used mostly on longer European routes at the time, but did some short routes like LHR-BRU as well, with the planes mostly based in LHR. A mix of 737-200s, 300s, and 400s was being operated, and these aircraft preformed the majority of flights from LGW and BHX. Despite being close to retirement, many of the 737-200s did receive the new livery. On the other hand, all 737-300s were already in the new colors. Despite owning about half of the Concordes's on Earth, they were only scheduled for JFK-LHR twice daily in 1998, utilizing only 2 aircraft on a given day. While this is partially due to the heavy maintenance required on the Concorde fleet after use, the Concordes did very often fly charters, especially extra JFK-LHR flights. In addition to the scheduled flights, I have included all known 1998 Concorde Charters, including Concorde visits to Oshkosh and Farnborough for the weekend to sit on static display at airshows, training flights to LIS and OPO, a charter to places like DEN, BGI, and BTG(small US airport), and a recreation of an incident where a Concorde flying LHR-JFK diverted to SMA en-route and spent the night with a rescue Concorde arriving and continuing the flight the next morning! Some Concordes remained in the Landor colors. While plenty of planes spend several days in LGW and LHR, I created several ferry flights to/from CWL(where BA had a major maintenance base) for some planes to spend several days there so that CWL always has at least a few BA 777s or 747s as it usually did in 1998. British Airways would keep the "Union Jack" livery, with minor modifications, as it's livery up until present day, and the airline is still a global leader in commercial aviation today. Finally, as I understand that some hate the World Tails with a passion(including the Queen of England who famously threw a handkerchief over the tail of a model 747 leading to the change to "Union Jack" fleetwide!) and that it will be a lot of work to hunt for and install all these liveries(some which don't yet exist), I made a "LITE" version which is the same plans but without breaking down the flightplans to create the accurate number of aircraft in the 1998(It isn't short by too many aircraft, but there are way less long ground times in these plans), and all aircraft are in the Landor livery still. I hope some of you appreciate that. Note that these plans include all mainline British Airways flights, but not the regional flights or flights operated by subsidiaries like British Mediterranean Airlines, British Asia Airways, GB Airways, Maresk Air, Air Liberte, ect. Those airlines are all available separately. ALSO NOTE: Don't worry about the v3 update if you run FS9 or don't plan to ever buy the FSPX payware 767-300, as for now no one has painted the World Tails on the FAIB model. Since the FSPX 767 is so much easier to paint than the FAIB one though, I have a feeling it'll become more popular. Also note that I did use Nils titles to make things easier, but 2 of them exceeded 100 characters and can't be compiled by Ttools, so I had to cut them short so you need to pay attention to those and make sure your "title=" in the aircraft.cfg matches my aircraft.txt in these plans. They are: "FSPXAI B767-300ER British Airways - Delftblue Daybreak/Delftblauwe Dageraad World Tail G-BNWA (1999-early 2004)" and "FSPXAI B767-300ER British Airways - Delftblue Daybreak/Delftblauwe Dageraad World Tail G-BZHB (1998-late 2005)" Many World Tail paints are missing, including: All 747-400 paints except the 2 below, the short-lived "British Blend" tail for the A320(it was repainted into another World Tail livery after 1998), the "Pause to Remember" tail for the 737-200, and the "Kogutki Lowickie" tail for the 737-400 are all missing. As for the Landor paints, many of them have the "OneWorld" alliance sticker, of which British Airways was a founding member in early 1999. Not unrealistic for the late 1990s(though they weren't all across the fleet until 2000\2001), but if you plan on using these paints for rest of the 1990s and late 1980s in your sim, Michael Pearson has done versions without the decal on Avsim in addition to the paints below: ARNZ Concorde Union Jack by Ranmori Scythe: drive.google.com/drive/folders/1byECj_rTWPi4WaYCWNvJDvNhqsVkdsGu?usp=sharingARNZ Concorde Landor: On Avism as "ais_concorde_baw7090.zip" FAIB 747-400 Rendezvous and Waves and Cranes by Ranmori Scythe: drive.google.com/drive/folders/1N6k1f4MRKfRnif516ozPOpWzdh7v0aMh?usp=sharingFAIB 747-400 Landor: On Avsim as "faib_747-400_baw.zip" FAIB 747-200: On Avism as "faib_747-200_baw_v2.zip" FAIB 747-100 Landor: On Avsim as "faib_747-100_baw_v2_fsx.zip" TFS 777-200: www.juergenbaumbusch.de/?p=11834AIM DC-10-30(includes 1999 retired version): On Avsim as "aim_dc1030_britishairways_307320.zip" FAIB 767-300 Landor: On Avsim as "faib_767-300_baw.zip FSPX 767-300 World Tails+Landor+Interim by Nils Gosselin: drive.google.com/drive/folders/1zKXd03GivxR2K9pcvkRrlmD-hzN_gUK9AIG 757-200: www.juergenbaumbusch.de/?p=11832FAIB A320: www.juergenbaumbusch.de/?p=11804FAIB 737-400 World Tails: www.juergenbaumbusch.de/?p=11821FAIB 737-400 Landor: www.juergenbaumbusch.de/?p=11812FAIB 737-300: www.juergenbaumbusch.de/?p=11823FAIB 737-300 Landor(in case you wish to use it): www.juergenbaumbusch.de/?p=11814FAIB 737-200 World Tails: www.juergenbaumbusch.de/?p=11825FAIB 737-200 Landor: www.juergenbaumbusch.de/?p=11816Concorde Scheduled flights: Concorde Charter Flights: 747-400: 747-100\200: 777-200: DC-10-30: 767-300: 757-200: A320-100\200: 737-200\300\400: Download British Airways 1998 v3 Flightplans HereDownload British Airways 1998 LITE Flightplans Here

The airline was founded shortly before WWII as the union between Air Orient, Air Union, Compagnie Générale Aéropostale, Compagnie Internationale de Navigation Aérienne (CIDNA) and Société Générale des Transports Aériens (SGTA) after a massive merger. With France having territories all across the globe, Air France from the very beginning was constantly expanding with the latest in long range aircraft to reach points in the Pacific, the Caribbean, Asia, and Africa. Through the 1940s and 1950s, Air France added the latest props and turbo props like the Lockheed Constellations and Vickers Viscount, and joined the jet age in 1960 with the 707 and Caravel. In the 1970s, Air France was one of 2 customers for the world's first super sonic transport(SST), Concorde, taking roughly half of aircraft with the rest going to British Airways. In 1988, Air France became a very early operator of the A320-100, with Airbus being a French company, and Air France historically was among the first to operate all Airbus types, starting with the A300. Air France also operated most Boeing aircraft, flying most variants of the 727, 737, and 747. Later, 767s and other Boeing jets would join the fleet. Air France merged with long haul rival UTA in in 1990, and with intra-European rival Air Inter in 1994. A subsidiary known as Air France Asie was started with 747s and A340s for flights to Taiwan, but this was discontinued by 1997 with the end of flights to TPE. In 1998, Air France was huge and contracting flying to many operators from several nations and operating with many livery variations. Several aircraft were given "World Cup 1998" decals across the fuselage, with different countries represented by the image on either side of the aircraft. Air France also still had a few A320-100s and 737-200s in the old 70/80s livery(spotted by the stripes on the tail going all the way down to the base rather than there being a "gap" between the stripes and the base of the tail, titles also were different). Concorde only had a single scheduled daily flight between CDG-JFK, with a RON in JFK. However, I have included all 6 of the Air France Concordes doing realistic charters of the era, including a visit to GIG via MIA/TPA for the 1998 World Cup and 2 different around-the-world charters. This package also includes all the regional carriers and affiliate airlines operating Air France flights in 1998, which includes a Caribbean operation with 2 mainline 737-300s and an ATR-72 operated by Air Guadeloupe. The regional carriers had a variety of liveries as well, with some having "house" colors with their own titles(with 2 liveries in some cases like Brit Air) while Air France was in the process of having these carriers transition from the "Air France Air Inter" livery of the early 90s to the mainline Air France colors. Many of the planes in full Air France colors being flown by regional subsidiaries had the name of the operating carrier in Air France font under the windows in the front of the aircraft. In addition, Air Djibouti operated an A310 for Air France to Djibouti and onward to JED, Belair-lle de France operated 727 flights with an Air France flight number(included in independent flightplans) while L'Aeropostale operated several 737-300s in full Air France colors. Interestingly, Air France was operating Fokker 100s mainline in 1998, having inherited them fro Air Inter. These aircraft were transffered to Regional Airlines in 1999. Air France was no doubt one of the most eclectic carriers at the time! Boeing 777s had just joined the fleet in small numbers, but the airline was not yet flying A330s, despite Air Inter having flown the A330-300 prior to the merger. Air France would go on to join the SkyTeam alliance, and in 2003, merge with KLM to form Air France-KLM. Air France was later an early operator of the Airbus A380, but thee aircraft were retired in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Air France today is still a huge global airline with a modern fleet. Don't forget to download Belair-lle de France to complete Air France! And note that the aircraft.cfg is set up as "[livery](Operator)", ask here if you have any questions. Also keep in mind that, again, only some A320-100s and 737-200s still had the old livery with the stripes going all the way down to the base of the tail, all other planes should have a gap between the stripes and the base of the tail to represent the new colors. Also note that Air France was the only major airline in the OAG that listed every regional flight as mainline and did not provide a legend as to which flight numbers were operated by which affiliate airline. As such, for example, you might see mainline Air France Fokker 100s flying routes flown by Gill Airways or vice versa. This also means that Air France 737-300s were not differentiated from L'Aeropostale 737-300s. Why Air France decided not to break down it's affiliates, I am not sure. I was able to make plenty of educated assumptions like LCY flights being fly by Cityjet and what not, but I apologize if you find any inaccuracies, I did the best I could. Please give Concorde "SSC, AFR" parking codes please to allow for proper parking in CDG and JFK. Many repaints needed, some are available. I was unable to find the A320-100 in the 1990s livery on any model compatible with P3Dv4\5, any help pointing me towards one is appreciated. Most regionals are also missing. Raphael Rodrigues has all the whole 1998 fleet in progress, including all the various World Cup liveries, but it will be some time before this is completed.

\\Cyprus Airways 1998 Cyprus Airways (1948-2015) IATA: CY ICAO: CYP CALLSIGN: CYPRESS Cyprus Airways was the national airline of Cyprus, a popular holiday resort island which lies at the crossroads of Europe and the Middle East. When founded after WWII, Cyprus was under British rule, and British European Airlines(BEA) operated the carrier like a subsidiary, providing it with a few DC-3s for multi-stop flights across much of Europe and the Middle East. Initially, the airline was based in Nicosia(NIC), which at the time, was the largest city in Cyprus and the financial hub. When Cyprus declared independence from Great Britain, the Cypriot government became the main shareholder in the airline and BEA's ownership was reduced to just 22%. While for the first time, Cypriot citizens were hired to staff the airline replacing the British expats who had previously acted as flight and cabin crews, BEA still provided a lot of support to the airline and even provided it with de Havilland Comet jets the following year. By the end of the 1960s, Cyprus Airways had a very modern fleet adding types such as the Bac 1-11, Trident jet, and Vickers Viscount, replacing the Comet jets which were grounded very early in their life due to a string of in-flight break ups. This progressive carrier ran into major problems in 1974 when Turkish forces invaded the island and destroyed the NIC airport, either destroying or damaging all of Cyprus Airway's Trident jets. The Bac 1-11 was repossessed around this time as well, having been leased out from Courtline who had just gone bankrupt. Turkish forces occupied Cyprus, and while they allowed the damaged Tridents to be ferried to London by British Airways engineers never to return to the fleet, NIC was otherwise closed forever, and was the island's only commercial airport. By the late 1970s, Cyprus had been split into 2 nations, with part of the island under Turkish control and the other part owned by Greek interests, who had assisted Cyprus during the invasion. After several years of inactivity, a new airport was built at Larnarca(LCA), and became the new home for Cyprus Airways, who acquired a DC-8 and 2 Bac 1-11s soon after to begin flying. Around this time, a second airport was built in Paphos(PFO), which became a hub for Cyprus Airways, who would route many flights via PFO on to Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. The Turkish, meanwhile, constructed the Ercan International Airport(ECN), but this airport was more or less only used by Turkish carriers, and all other airlines, including Cyprus Airways, did not serve it. By the mid 1980s, the airline had grown substantially, and added A310s along with an updated and short lived livery. In 1991, the carrier became fully independent from British Airways and unveiled a new brand image and livery, while adding A320s and more A310s to the fleet. By 1998, the had an impressive route network, however, the vast majority of destinations are served only 1-2x weekly. Still, even with a small fleet, you'll see Cyprus Airways all over Europe and the Middle East, and even in Syria at the time! Flights operated 24 hours per day, and many routes are served in the middle of the night, meaning you'll likely rarely see Cyprus planes at some destinations, especially those in the Middle East. Cyprus Airways was also rather unique at the time by choosing to serve multiple airports in metropolitan areas. For example, in London, Cyprus served LGW, LHR, and STN and in Milan, Cyprus served both MXP and LIN. Cyprus Airways was only operating the A310-200 and A320-200 with no known livery variations at the time. Over the years, Cyprus Airways would have another livery change and add A321s and A330s to the fleet, retiring the A310s. By 2012, however, the airline was in serious financial trouble, and desperately trying to court an airline like Aeroflot into buying a large share to keep the airline flying. As these attempts failed, the airline began to sell off assets, including selling it's LHR slots to MEA for 6.3 million Euro. This was not enough, and just a few days into the start 2015, the carrier ceased operations. In 2016, another airline was formed, called Charlie Airlines, owned mostly by S7 Siberian Airline's interests. Upon it's start-up, the airline was granted permission to use the "Cyprus Airways" name and branding for a 10 year period from 2016-2026, but this is a name sake only, and Cyprus Airways never flew again after 09JAN15.

My plans are only based on 1998, if the aircraft was painted into the World Colours in 1999/2000, it remains in Landor paint in my plans. A good number of aircraft were painted between 1999 and 2000 until the decision to make "Union Jack" the fleetwide colours was made.

hansswe was kind enough to message me about an error with British Airways 1998, I have re-uploaded the plans with the fix so please re-download if you downloaded British Airways prior to this post. Also, I have updated the "Incomplete Airlines" file in the original post to reflect the most recent airlines being completed. Please download that file again if you are using it to fill up the airports in project countries with all scheduled/charter/cargo flights like Japan, Hong Kong, ect. to avoid double flights/extra planes. Files are starting to be uploaded, I have decided that as each airline has paints completed, I will upload the package to Avsim. VASP 1998(with repaints for the FAIB 737-200/300, FSXP MD-11, and A300B4) was uploaded to Avsim/Flightsim today and should be up soon.

//Ariana Afghan Airlines 1998 Ariana Afghan Airlines (1955 - Present) IATA: FG ICAO: AFG CALLSIGN: ARIANA Ariana Afghan Airlines is the national airline of the mountainous country of Afghanistan, based in Kabul(KBL). Until the 1980s, the airline was successful, and Afghanistan was a relatively peaceful country. The airline first flew 3 DC-3s across the Middle East, but by 1960, it was using a DC-4 on a multi-stop route leading all the way to Frankfurt (FRA). By the 1970s, the airline had expanded into Russia and Turkey and also expanded it's FRA route to London(LGW) while adding 727-100s to the fleet. A DC-10-30 was leased from British Caldeonian for non-stop long haul services by the end of the decade, and things were looking good for the airlines immediate future. However, in 1979, the Soviet-Afghan war broke out, and the fighting would continue for 10 years until 1989 when the insurgent group overthrew the official government. By the mid 1980s, Ariana's activities were heavily influenced by Russia, and the airline was pressured to return it's American-made DC-10 and instead place Russian made Tu-154s on it's long haul routes. Then, in 1985, the airline was merged into rival Bakhtar Afghan Airlines, keeping the Bakhtar name and adding more Russian-built aircraft. Over the next few years, rocket attacks and fighting destroyed a few aircraft, and instability in the region lead to an An-26 being shot down by Pakistani fighters around this time while on a domestic flight. Allegedly after the Pakistani jets lost situational awareness and thought the aircraft had violated their border, but Pakistan denies their involvement to this day. However by 1988, the air carrier again reverted to the Ariana Afghan name. From 1996 onwards, the Taliban was running Afghanistan and they hijacked the national airline and slashed most of the routes(except for flights to ATQ/DXB) and used the planes for smuggling guns, drugs, money, and terrorists to/from the UAE(via charters to Sharaj) and Eastern China. Government sanctions on the terrorist-lead nation forced Ariana to park most of it's planes and lose almost all of it's traffic rights. And for good reason, as many top terrorists posed as Ariana executives so that they could freely access the planes/airports! Domestic flying also had come to much of a halt, with just the top several airports seeing flights with any regularity. The fleet in 1998 consisted of 1 Tu-154/727/An-24 and 2 727-200s and An-12s(cargo only). All the scheduled flights are 727s, while the other aircraft do charters to SHJ and China and I also included representative domestic flights. This year, one of the included 727-200s would be lost in a terrible fatal accident crashing into a mountain on the approach to KBL in bad weather. In 2001, Afghan-based terrorists took credit for the 9\11 attacks on New York and Washington DC in the USA, and the following month, a US bombing campaign destroyed almost every aircraft in Ariana's fleet. 2 months later in 2001, US forces seized the KBL airport, and US interests began to rebuild Ariana Afghan from it's ashes. Now that the airline was out of the hands of the Taliban, UN sanctions were lifted, and the Indian government gifted Ariana Afghan with 3 used Airbus A300s, and traffic rights to points in India. Flights resumed soon after, and the airline began to expand, only to suffer another blow when in 2006, the European Union imposed a safety-related ban on the airline operating in it's airspace which still stands to this day. Despite this, Ariana Afghan survived and today flies 2 737s and 2 A310s on services across the Middle East and on a few domestic routes.

//Mindanao Express 1998 v2 (cruise speeds updated to AIG standard, aircraft numbering changed to reflect fleet repaints) Mindanao Express (1996-2000) IATA: NONE LISTED ICAO: NONE LISTED CALLSIGN: MINDEX Mindanao Express was a short lived Filipino regional carrier with it's operating base in Cebu that was largely a pet-project of US commuter airline "Cooperate Air", who flew Cessna Caravans from FedEx's Subic Bay(SFS) hub in the 1990s. Initially, the airline flew freight, but it switched to passenger flying in 1998 seeing an opportunity as Philippine Airlines abandoned much of their domestic network during a crisis at the company. the The airline flew 2 B1900Cs and 4 BE99s on regional routes, connecting small airports with limited or no scheduled air service to a few larger airports. With no competition, the airline got greedy and charged exorbitantly high fares on some routes. As such, load factors never picked up, regardless of potential demand. As the airline did not make money, the investors stopped funding the carrier, shutting it down in the early 2000s. I have painted the fleet: HTAI B1900C: drive.google.com/drive/folders/1qaj6-QCq1adx74voN2owEqI9ZC9vjGHF?usp=sharingHTAI Beech C99: drive.google.com/drive/folders/1r2BwZ2fqPlyTBDPtv4UJ9vtRklkevVO8?usp=sharingBeech 99\B1900C: Download Mindanao Express v2 1998 Flightplans Here

Hello, thank you for your work. The KLM plans have some mistakes in the 737s plans. The return flights to ESSA and ENGM are partially missing, making the aircraft sit there for hours or even days before returning to EHAM (from Thursday to Monday in ESSA). The extra aircraft on 6 and 0 days are not needed, when planning as mentioned (and realistic).
Regards Werner

The extra aircraft on 6 and 0 days are not needed, when planning as mentioned (and realistic). Regards Werner The thing is, when you run plans through the MRAI compiler, they never end up perfect. Regardless of how many times the raw flightplan data is compiled, there will usually be errors and planes that are designed to do odd turns leaving planes doing 1-3 flights per week just to include all the planned flights. Sometimes, I have done plans with small carriers with 1 or 2 planes that should add up perfect to 1 aircraft, but the compiler will keep splitting them up and I'll end up just making them manually in AI Flight Planner! As with KLM and most other large airlines with errors, I manually added as many flights as I could fit realistically, but included the others just to ensure all the plans are operated. In real life, planes would break at out-stations(airports other than the hub) for days/weeks at a time once in a while, so I leave them in my sim. If you understandably do not like this, just delete the aircraft as you see fit. I just leave them included so that technically all the flights are represented, as much as possible anyway, while pointing out extra aircraft for those who want realistic fleets. The missing flights were basically not able to be fit with this compile, but I can send you the raw data if you wish to play with it.
