Very cool! Thank you for these! Sadly this carrier is not in the OAG and the schedule is too large to be able to talk a collector into scanning\photographing the pages for me to make proper 1998 plans. I hope someone comes forward with a schedule for Britannia one day or one goes up on Ebay for sale. On that note, if you don't mind, you may be able to quickly make a Garuda hybrid needed for 1998 Hajj flights and Garuda's Taiwan flights which were operated by this airplane in the Garuda 1998 plans. They leased the same few planes over and over into the early 2000s.  Sure! It won't be too difficult, I'll add it to the other -300's liveries when the Britannia Nordic/TUIfly Nordic paints will be finished. |

Again today, here we go with some TUI paints. I've made some paints representing all liveries variations of Britannia Nordic (officially "Britannia Airways AB")/TUIfly Nordic of their 737-800's and 757's in the 2000's. This TUI paint cycle is halfway done as I intend to paint some Jetair/Jetairfly and Hapag-Lloyd/Hapagfly aircrafts as well, and maybe a remaster of the Corsairfly fleet. All of this isn't very "retro", but I am already thinking about making after all of this TAP Portugal's fleet in their old colors, as there is only paints for the DJC/TFS models for the Airbuses.

First bunch of Jetair paints: 8 variations of the 737-400 and 5 of the sole 737-500 of the airline. Included are some early Jetair schemes, some regular Jetairfly variations, a Jet4you hybrid, 2 variations of a Hapag-Lloyd Express hybrid and an all white livery. To gain some time, the next paints will be some early Jetair opb Sobelair and simple Jetair liveries for the 737-800, some Jetair/MNG Airlines A300 hybrids, some F100 and some 767's, as the Jetairfly variations for the 737-800 and 737-700 are already well covered by other painters.

Next on the line: the A300's and the Fokker 100. The A300's are a bit particular, they flew in the TUI colors for Jetair at the time when Jetair was only a big "tour-operator", but those 2 Airbuses weren't operated by TUI Airlines Belgium but by the airline which they were leased from: MNG Airlines of Turkey. With what I could find, I've put those as operated by MNG in the fltsim.txt file (atc airline code being MNG's "BLACK SEA", same thing for the parking codes) but the aircrafts (reg TC-MNE from 2003 to 2005 and TC-MNZ from 2005 to 2006) did operate from Brussels for Jetair. Things are a lot simpler for the Fokker 100, Jetair/TUI Airlines Belgium (and then Jetairfly) operated a single Fokker 100 registered OO-TUF and named "Distinction" between 2005 and 2008.

To finish with Jetair, here is the 767-300 fleet! The next bunch of paints will be a quick TUI Hapag-Lloyd/Hapagfly 737-800 pack, and the remastered Corsairfly pack. And then I'll start with other airlines packages (old TAP colors, Egyptair late 90's-2000's colors, Air Luxor).  |

Awesome stuff! Question about Britannia, did you do any of the German-registered Britannia GmbH liveries? I will have that carrier done soon, they just had 3 ex-Britannia 767-300s, 2 of which had the duty free titles, and were based in SXF but probably had the most flights from FRA.

I've done the regular livery with the German registration and the other with the equivalent of the "keep duty free" titles in German, they are included in the Britannia 767-300 OC that I've done. Search for the 2 textures named "Britannia_german ops" in my Britannia/Old Britannia colors/767-300ER folder. |

I was thinking about making the A319/20/21 to finally bring the old colors to the FAIB world and the A340-300, as the FAIB 737-300 in TAP's old colors was already done some years ago, but I'll take a look at the Expo 98 and the Fly Algarve liveries! |

I think nobody has ever made it for traffic AI.

I've got both of them...A319-100/A320-200 on FAIB model. You can download from here: www.dropbox.com/sh/z3qea25v2b8mpke/AADtrvEcp0bW5b2h2MGapLYma?dl=0About the B737 'Expo 98 and the Fly Algarve' liveries it's a quite challenge to do, maybe the reason why is missing. |

Speaking of, someone painted one of those elaborate late 1990s TAP 737-300 liveries for the Captain Sim 737-300. Maybe someone can reach out to him and see if he is willing to share his sources for an FAIB AI version. piper had previously asked Jonathan Alba but I think he said it was too complicated to do from scratch. |

 As usual, I've lost myself in the entrails of jetphotos and my "quick" Hapag pack became a 9 variations pack representing the TUI colors of Hapag-Lloyd, it's evolution Hapagfly and the 2007 early TUIfly.com scheme of the union of HLF and HLX: TUIfly Germany. Description of the what/when was of the variations is in the fltsim.txt, as well as timelines of when each aircraft was painted in each variation, given that ~36 737-800 flew for HLF/TUI, and a lot of aircrafts kept flying in the Hapagfly colors way after the merger (some until 2010), some 737's even kept the TUI Hapag-Lloyd livery until 2009/10. One special livery made it here: D-AHFC wearing the 'Hannover Airport' livery. the overall time-period here is from early 2002 to late 2010. Now onto the Corsairfly remaster and then au-revoir TUI! |

 Quick edit: I decided to make a very quick addition to TUIfly, as suddenly remembered that no paints existed for the FAIB 737-700 of the early TUIfly.com colors. TUIfly Germany inherited HLX fleet of 737-700 but quickly got rid of them, but they also took delivery of 11 brand new 737-700WL between 2007 and 2008, and also a single ex-Hamburg International 737-700. All of them were leased to Air Berlin in 2010 and eventually sold to them in the 2010's. |

Really great work on TUIfly, thank you. Coming from northern Germany Hapag/TUIfly was always some kind of hometown airline for me. These were interesting times when HLF/HLX merged to create TUIfly and for a few years went some kind of the way Air Berlin did with a hybrid LCC/Leisure business model. A few years later TUIfly decided to focus on their leisure ops and leased their LCC ops including some 14 aircraft to Air Berlin. Therefore they retired all 737-300/-500/-700 leaving TUIfly operating only 737-800. A relict from those time were the 3 B737-300s flying in TUIfly colors, 2 of them promoting Leipzig/Halle airport on their tail. Maybe you consider a quick derivating from your 737-700 as they are also missing on FAIB models currently: D-AGEJ: Left RightD-AGEG: White Nose (ca. 2010) / Yellow Nose (2007-2009) D-AGEE: Left Right |

I remember seeing some photos of them, they operated for Germania under TUIfly colors. The regular TUIfly livery for the -300 will not be a problem, and I'll take a look at the Haendel and Bach special liveries. |
