Thanks, I changed them for myself with data from my Dec.98 OAG. I do all my flightplans manually, that works only good with those that have just one hub, however.

Thanks, I changed them for myself with data from my Dec.98 OAG. I do all my flightplans manually, that works only good with those that have just one hub, however. I agree 100% that manual creation guarantees the best results. Of course, as you said, it is complicated with large airlines to do so. A method I have adapted is a combination of the two. First I add any incomplete plans that will fit to existing aircraft, then I try to add as many more of the incomplete flights in by changing the flight times a bit to simulate the aircraft simply running late. But even with modifying a flight by a few hours one day, there is still no where to put it. But I figure it is better to have the last 3 legs running 2 hours late than for the flight to "cancel" in our sims.

//Flightline 1998 Flightline (1989-2008) IATA: B5 ICAO: FLT CALLSIGN: FLIGHTLINE Flightline was a British Regional carrier which operated on behalf of tour groups and flew independent charters as well as preforming dedicated regional flights to airlines like Swissair in that carriers full colors. In the 1990s, Flightline of the United Kingdom operated a small fleet Bae-146s(but almost 30 total over time) on various services and a lone EMB-110 on fly-by-night cargo flights. Over the years, the 146s flew for the likes of Transavia, Croatian, Swissair, Virgin Atlantic, Air France and Lufthansa. In 1998, a single Bae-146-300 was based in PMI serving mostly points in England and Italy, as well as domestic flights within Spain and out to Portugal and other European nations, marketed as "PalmAir". 2 Bae-146-200s frequented STN and STR mostly on regular group charters for businesses. I based 1 aircraft in each, with STN-BSL/STR and STR-STN/GLA which is what appears to have been the case from my research. The lone EMB-110 sits in Southend(EGMC) all day and does a Mon-Fri freight run to DUS, and a daylight charter on Sundays. By 1999, the BAe-146s were flying on behalf of Swissair as a regional affiliate. The Transavia flying ended in 1997, but I will go back and make plans for that aircraft eventually. The airline would grow quickly over the next decade and add MD-80s, but ultimately, it would fail in 2008, last operating for British Airways out of London-City(LCY) and for the Ford motor company, some 6 million British Pounds in debt to creditors. Paints required, with all aircraft in the fleet wearing an individual livery. Eventually, I'll make plans for the Transavia operation in 1997 if no one else does.

//Belair-lle de France 1998 BL/BLI "EUROBELAIR" (thank you, fitch) Belair-lle de France was a small French charter outfit operating 2 727-200s and an MD-80 on leisure charters, mostly connecting France/Europe to ATH, PMI, and IBZ. In addition to the charter flying, one of the 727-200s operated on behalf of Air France on Tuesdays and Wednesdays routing through ORY(the charters usually used CDG so these are the only visits to ORY). The air France flights are straight from the OAG and accurate while the charters are all realistic but representative based on the data I had. These plans are required to complete Air France 1998.

Unfortunately, I dont know to paint. Maybe we should ask for someone paint it.
I'm working as well, looking for airlines never done before. At least, making FP.

Chasensfo,
I've been doing a search for Airlines wich Eduardo never done as well before.
I found 3 more for Nordic countries:
1- NEA - Nordic European Airlines 2- Time Air Sweden 3- Novair
At the glance, I intend to make the FP (90 decade) for them.

OK I'll hold off if you plan to do them. I recommend not being "lazy", it is easy to have a plane fly the same charter route 5-7x weekly, but unrealistic. While it takes longer, I recommend just jumping airport to airport to fill in all the places you see photo or other evidence of the aircraft flying. It will be more rewarding to see the planes in more places.

//Omni Air International - OAI 1998 v2 (26FEB21 UPDATE; Added the Omni Air Express cargo 727 flightplans by Christian Gold which were active in 1998 but retired by the end of summer) Omni Air International - OAI (1997 - Present) IATA: OY ICAO: OAE CALLSIGN: OMNI-EXPRESS US Air Force Air Mobility Command (AMC) operated by Omni Air International - OAI (1997 - Present) IATA: OY ICAO: AMC, DOD CALLSIGN: CAMBER Omni Air Express (1993-1998) IATA: OY ICAO: OAE CALLSIGN: OMNI-EXPRESS Alaska Air Cargo operated by Omni Air Express (1993-1998) IATA: OY ICAO: ASAC CALLSIGN: OMNI-EXPRESS DHL operated by Omni Air Express (1993-1998) IATA: OY ICAO: DHL CALLSIGN: OMNI-EXPRESS UPS operated by Omni Air Express (1993-1998) IATA: OY ICAO: UPS CALLSIGN: OMNI-EXPRESS Omni Air International is a major US charter carrier, based in Tulsa (TUL), that does global charter work both for civilian customers and the US Government, as well as ACMI flying for carriers around the world. Omni was founded in 1993 as Omni Air Express, initially a cargo airline flying 727-100s and 727-200s both on on-demand charters, especially related to the automobile industry, as well as providing extra capacity to customers such as Alaska Air Cargo, UPS, and DHL. In 1997, the carrier changed it's named to Omni Air International and began passenger charters with a pair of DC-10-30s while a 3rd was added in late 1998. With the transition, the 727s were all parked in 1998 and dedicated cargo operations ended by the summer. The new passenger side of the airline was operationally based in MSP, with LAS as a "focus city" where Omni maintains a strong presence to this day. OAI did all sorts of flying, from tour group/holiday package flights to LAS and HNL, to military charters(which often used HNL/DFW/PSM/FRA), to large group charters such as for college sports teams. There were also many re-positioning flights to get the aircraft to/from the next/last charter. I used to see them frequently at SFO, and obviously MSP. These representative plans are based on a combination of photos, what I remember seeing myself at the time, and information from a friend who was an Omni flight attendant at the time as to specific routes and happenings at the company in the late 1990s. All routes were flown at least once in the late 1990s, most of them numerous times. As Omni grew, they would hold onto the DC-10s much longer than most airlines while adding modern 757s, 767s, and 777s. The airline would also begin covering scheduled flights for other airlines from the 2010s onward, including WOW Air, XL Airways France, and Air Canada. The carrier has been operating one scheduled independent route, LAS-HNL-LAS, on behalf of a travel company with a 767-200 for several recent years. Be sure to make 2 aircraft.cfg entries for the DC-10-30, one for passenger charters using the "GATE" parking type, and one for Military charters using the "MIL_CARGO,RAMP" parking to ensure the planes park in the right areas. Use the appropriate cargo codes for each 727s if designated as flying for another carrier such as UPS, Alaska, or DHL. Cargo flightplans are by Christian Gold.

//AeroLyon 1998 AeroLyon (1996-2000) IATA: 4Q ICAO: AEY CALLSIGN: AEROLYON AeroLyon was a French long haul charter airline which operated from 1996-2000. AeroLyon operated a single DC-10-30 in 1998 mostly between secondary French cities and the French Caribbean, with the occasional intra-Europe charter. These plans will work for the whole 1996-1999 era, but I kept the DC-10 rather busy to ensure that all French cities that saw AeroLyon get used at least once. The aircraft usually makes a stop in France on the way to TNCM/TNCC or TFFF/TFFR then does the same on the way back. The only day the aircraft visits LFPO is Sunday, on the way back from a real charter that took place to LOWW in 1998. A second DC-10-30 was added in 2000 and the airline failed that same year.

//AB Airlines 1998 AB Airlines (1993-1999) IATA: 7L ICAO: AZX CALLSIGN: AZTEC AB Airlines was the first successful Low Cost Carrier(LCC) in England, preceding the other carriers like Ryanair, Debonair and Easyjet. The airline operated several Bac 1-11-500s and marketed it's flights under several banners including "Air Bristol", "Air Belfast", and "AB Airlines Shannon". In 1998, AB Airlines began flying 2 737-300s on holiday charters and some scheduled routes out of LGW and LTN for a short time until their 1999 demise. The 737s mostly flew to PMI, FAO, and LIS, but served other airports in Spain and the Mediterranean as well. The Bac 1-11s were still flying under several different brands on very limited flights for the most part, and there didn't seem to be much of a change from 1996 to 1998 at all, with the same routes and flight times with a few flights having been eliminated, which I accounted for. The aircraft have long ground times at the hubs. The Bac 1-11 plans are done by linguistpilot, and I included them here just to make it easier to get the 1998 airline flying while I did the 737 charters. Full credit goes to him for those wonderful Bac 1-11 plans. AB Airlines would not survive long after adding the 737-300s, and would fail in November of 1999.

//FAIRLINES 1998(France) LK/FIR "FAIR" Fairlines was started in 1997 with much press as they had made big promises to blow the competition out of the water with all first and business class MD-80s flying between CDG, NCE, and MXP. The airline only lasted a few months, however. All routes were flown daily, with CDG-NCE being flown twice daily, CDG-MXP twice daily, and NCE-MXP being flown once daily.

//Air Greece 1998 JG/AJG "Air Greece" Air Greece operated from 1994-1999, operating 2 ATR-72s until 1997 when a 3rd was added. The aircraft mostly connect ATH and SKG to resort islands in the South. In 1999, the airline added 2 Fokker 100s to start service to Germany and failed soon afterwards. To represent 1994-1996, just delete 2 aircraft for a rough representation. Since these plans called for 4 ATR-72s, I gave the extra ATR a Fokker 100 registration. No paints yet that I know of. ATR-72: Download Air Greece 1998 Flightplans Here

//MAS - Malaysia Airlines 1998 v2 Malaysian Airlines - MAS (1972 - Present) IATA: MH ICAO: MAS CALLSIGN: MALAYSIAN Malaysian Airlines, better known as MAS, is the national airline of Malaysia. It was founded after WWII in 1947 as Malayan Airlines, which was a joint Singaporean-Malaysian venture, which later became Malaysia Singapore Airlines(MSA). In 1972, MSA was split into 2 carriers; Malaysian Air System(MAS) and Singapore Airlines. In this split, Singapore Airlines kept most of the lucrative long haul routes, and MAS was stuck with regional and domestic flights to start with. Despite this, MAS would still grown into a large global carrier, competing with neighboring Singapore Airlines and Garuda Indonesia. Unlike Garuda Indonesia and many other airlines in the region, MAS actually had a great safety record, with just 2 fatal accidents in it's long history by 1998. So, while Garuda was banned from flying to the USA(and later Europe) and was forced to drop much of it's long haul network during the late 1990s Asian Economic crsis, MAS enjoyed expansion at their expense. Not only was MAS a global carrier, but it was one of just 2 Asian airlines to have regularly scheduled service to South America(The other being JAL), flying to Buenos Aires(EZE) with a SZB-JNB-CPT-EZE 747-400 route. Interestingly, the airline even served Zagreb, Croatia(ZAG) at the time! MAS was still based out of the soon-to-close Subang Airport(SZB\WMSA), which was a congested airport close to Kuala Lumpur(now used by small carriers and LCCs) and had a single runway along with major maintenance facilities which MAS retains there to this day. There was an entire terminal at SZB dedicated to Singapore flights, with MAS having a focus city in SIN serving several airports in the region from it and operating planes as large as the A330 on the short SIN-SZB route. KUL\WMKK would open on 30JUN98, and almost all airline operations would transfer to that airport which was very modern but far from the city center. MAS was an early operator of both the A330-300 and 777-200, so the fleet contains plenty of both both in regional roles across Asia as well as onto Australia, Europe, and the Middle East. Other aircraft in the fleet at the time were the 737-400/500, 747-400/400M, DHC-6, and Fokker 50, with the DC-10s, MD-11s, A300s, 747-200\300 and 737-200s all retired. In early 1998, World Airways flew DC-10-30s in MAS colors on Hajj charters to JED, as Malaysian is a Muslim majority country, and these flights will be included in the World Airways flightplans. There were many extra domestic aircraft needed to fill these flightplans despite my efforts to find ways to squeeze in flights, which suggests that MAS may have leased additional aircraft not listed in the JP Fleets Book. I have separated these aircraft so you can exclude if you wish to retain the actual number of aircraft in the fleet. Many of the tiny airports served by the DHC-6 no longer have airline service today, and the airports were not in Ttools, MRAI Compiler or AI Flight Planner. I'd expect there to be issues with these AI aircraft getting to their destinations, but you will see them at the larger airports at least. All aircraft wore the 80s-2000s livery with no known variations in 1998. MAS would continue to grow, going through multiple livery changes and adding modern aircraft such as the Airbus A380 and A350 before hitting major issues in the early 2010s when, after decades of perfect safety, 2 of it's Boeing 777-200s would be lost in freak accidents(one being shot down over Ukraine and the other missing to this day flying KUL-PEK). Though it is entirely possible that neither accident was the fault of the carrier, MAS's reputation took a huge hit, and the airline was forced to re-organize and retired all it's 777-200s in an attempt to erase the stigma associated with those accidents. The smaller, reorganized airline is alive and well today.

////Summer Express 1998 Summer Express (1998) IATA: V4 ICAO: EUH CALLSIGN: VENUS Summer Express was the last breath of the Greek charter carrier Venus Airlines that operated from 1992-1996. Venus aquired an ex-Valujet DC-9-21, slapped a Venus logo on the tail and "Summer Express" titles on it, then started charter flights from LGAT and a few other cities to mostly secondary cities in Germany and Italy. Summer Express got their own ICAO code, but it looks like they used the Venus callsign from what limited information I could gather. The airline didn't even last a full year from 1997-1998.
