Since we're going Spanish :
RENFE : Rogamos empujen nuestros ferrocarriles estropeados.
(I know it's not an airline but AVE does mean bird)

More like 'Rome? You Are Now Actually in Rotherham'....
But Rome was the only place Ryanair went to I could think of, and it is one of the few where they take you closer

How about:

Ruins Your Appetite, Nuts An Inordinate Ripoff

Reach Yerevan, Armenia, navigate alternative India route (a future route aspiration for Delhi West)

WOW (Iceland) - Why Oh Why?

Flybe - French's little yucky belly extractors

BMI baby - Buisness model interesting - Branding , absolutely bloody yuk.
Love it!

TWA tea

Slightly off topic but as TWA has featured in a number of acronyms, I recount a story involving the famous early US film star Tallulah Bankhead, a renowned lesbian.

Flying TWA to London she was asked by the attrative air stewardess if she would like coffee.

Her alleged reply was: "No thank you, I would rather have your T.W.A. tea...."
