Why should this airline be added?
I’d say this airline should be added because it’s a rather interesting cargo airline that adds a nice bit more variety for South America operations, and adding it would give some more love to the MD-11 (and also would with the DC-10 and 707, if they are added).
Additionally, Wikipedia (linked below) claims they served a moderate variety of destinations across the Americas, notably airports like GRU and SCL, adding a nice bonus for those realistic contract players. (such as me lol)All in all, though, it would be a small, yet unique addition that would definitely give players running SCL or GRU some more variety to see at their airports.
