With the current flights being operated by Travel Service, Alba Star, Sun Express and Freebird, the airport has more foreign operators than it has had for a few years. Here's a reminder of past operators, mostly long gone if not forgotten:-


EC-CPI 20/8/83


OY-APV 20/9/81. In for a check but operated by Maersk summer 1977 and 1978.


EC-CTU 25/11/82


EC-BSD 29/5/82


YU-AGG 10/8/79. J.A.T were a regular operator for many years from 1979 until the war in the Balkans, but only used the 707 in 1979.

Mostly they used the DC-9:-

YU-AJK 30/10/81

Tunis Air operated weekly flights with 737-200's during summer 1983 and 1984:-

TS-IOC 13/5/83

Finnair operated on behalf of Kar Air for several years using a wide variety of aircraft types, including DC-9-40's:-

OH-LNE 2/6/82

plus the occasional DC-10:-

OH-LHA 3/7/80. Only Finnair DC-10 to visit until summer 1989 when they were a weekly occurrence
