Why should this airline be added?
An airline founded as American Trans Air in 1973, it flew mainly holiday flights and charter flights for the US military and other NATO militaries until 2003 when it entered bankruptcy. It emerged from said bankruptcy as ATA Airlines, serving the same flights as it previously did, with its main base being Indianapolis with hubs in Oakland, Honolulu and Chicago-Midway. The airline promptly went bankrupt again in 2008 ending for good. The 737s operated mainly the scheduled flights and holiday charters with the majority of the 757s whereas the DC10s and L1011s operated mainly for the US military though were used on longer Hawaii to East Coast flights, hence the inclusion.

Would be a cool, different airline to add to the game, with an interesting fleet and a really snazzy livery on their aircraft.

Thanks for this, not sure why mine was taken down

I sat here for an hour searching through because I was positive I remember one being done . Not sure either, wish we got told why a post was removed.

Would probably be good to notify the original poster, so I’ll make sure to start doing so in future Post was taken down since it was a livery suggestion for an airline that doesn’t exist yet in-game which is the policy as of now to avoid duplicates.

That depends on how the post was deleted, if it was flagged and I deleted it that way it just removes it, if it’s a rejected approval I can either reject it normally or reject it and send a feedback/reasoning with it which should come through in either DMs or email. I normally do the latter if people don’t follow the template or it’s a duplicate, but once the post is up I don’t have an option to delete with a reason attatched.

Ah I see. Understood, I do like a bit of feedback on what I’ve done wrong so I can avoid it in the future. Cheers pal

Yeah didn’t realise I had it as a livery and not an airline, sorry!
