Airlines that you miss!!!!!!

Well, if we’re talking airlines that are still in existence, here’s my laundry list…

I miss the QANTAS of the 90s. The QANTAS of the 00s is absolutely crap, especially long haul and those flight attendants that think they are above you.

Another lost airline…

Anyone else remember Cambrian, one of the early UK regionals, flying Viscounts and 1-11’s IIRC.

Another “independent” lost in the formation of BA 🙁

Anyone remember Caledonians Tristars. If people went on them share your memories. Im sure it was G-BBAE i went on to and from Tenerife in 1999, the middle luggage rack was removed, the plane was very tatty, however seats were quite comfertable and the sounds of the engine was brilliant. Remember the big humming on engine start sitting at the rear.

Yes, I went on -AE too (MAN-FAO) in 1996. Jay cloths in the panelling above passenger’s heads were visible!! Also miss Airworld, not a big airline (summer-only to begin, I think) but the crew were incredibly friendly. It became part of Flying Colours (also good) then JMC then Thomas Cook.

I agree with Andy,Dan Air, an airline with spirit.
B.Cal too. We sould have kept those two & lost BA instead.

Cheers, remember the crews having ba uniforms and stll ba equipment.

Duo when they were still part of BA, a truly excellent airline, such a pity that customers thought they were a loco in the Easyjet model and didnt give them the support.

They never where a part of BA. Duo was bought out of BA as Maersk UK, to set up what was Duo 🙂

i miss one airliner and these guys were good and not that bad they had good service on the plane the places were old a bit then the other airliners and they had maybe bit a noise engines but they were good still and they were SWISS AIR. 😀 🙂 :diablo:

Nice photo, shame about the airline :diablo:

Those of us who loved Sabena will never forgive the Swiss airline.

Sabena – flying together with Swissair, bankrupt together with Swissair.

Air Europe. You never hear a bad word said about them.

What about Go? Whoever thought they would end up being sucked in by EZY?

I miss DELAG.

There are only two sadly missed by any true British airline fan – BEA and BOAC which disappeared on 1st April 1974 when BA was formed.

Glad someone else mentioned Virgin Sun, loved my flights with them!

Courtline ?
Who else operated flamboyant widebodies from the likes of LTN and GLA in those days ?

None in particular, but I miss Saudias old livery. Pan Am and Britannia I suppose…
