Airlines You'd Like to Bring Back

Brymon Airways - goes without saying! Also Air UK and Capital. Remember being at work the week that Capital went when we heard that they'd started paying their landing/handling/fuel fees at Jersey with cash! - not a good sign. Oh and not forgetting Paramount and Air Europe Express with the Fokker 100's (or was it Air Europe?)

Debonair, ceased operations in 1999. Operated a BAC 1-11 (RomBac I think) out of LGW to Spain and France.

Flitestar, South Africa's first competitor to SAA on long haul routes,

Nationwide, another excellent SA carrier who were doing well until they started operating single engined 737's out of CPT! Landing was a remarkable piece of airmanship which I missed seeing by less than an hour.

Princess Air.
Dramatic pink livery. First operator of 146QC - highest utilised 146 in the world for 3 straight months. More complementary letters from passengers than I'd ever seen before (and since). Great fun while it lasted. F**ked by Bae - then they wonder why they didn't sell many QC's?

World Airlines
While I never flew with this airline I did quite like their colour scheme- World Airlines at London City. I think they had a sunflower on the tail.
I forgot to put this in my previous post..
The best charter airline I ever flew was EXCALIBUR (Airbus A320) great service & seat pitch, not to mention a fabulous livery.

It has to be Dan Air, great people, great network. they could have gone on to great things if they'd been able to hang on a bit longer...and hadn't been nobbled by BA, like Air Europe before them.

Duo formed from what was Maersk UK. The service was second to none they had great aircraft and smart, modern livery. Bookings were really picking up too when it collapsed. Traveled with them many times in their short existence.
