Callsign question?

[Cactus99]

Who has the callsign "Yellow cab"?

We hear it quite often in the evening whilst transiting through Manch airspace.

Cheers:ok:

Hapag Lloyd airlines, I believe that the colour scheme on the aeroplane is a black and white checked tail like a New York City taxicab, hence the callsign.

and i think its the callsign that recently changed from Excellence

[hvogt]

It's Hapag Lloyd Express, Hapag Lloyd's budget line. Formerly they used the callsign Excellence.

And it's not just the tail but the whole plane that looks like a yellow cab, hence yellow cab

I`ll get my coat.

But some are Pink, some are now in TUI colours, both blue and yellow, and some have Composers on the fin.

....and they stopped to use the image of a taxi/cab for the advertisement.

They are now "TUIfly". All the planes get the new livery (yellow) and they are doing now both - holiday-destinations like Palma, the canaries or Greece and buisiness-flights to Manchester, Paris, Stockholm etc.

The good old "Hapag Lloyd" does not exist any longer!
What a pitty!
