Why should this airline be added?
An historically important airline in the European/Middle Eastern region operating since 1947 from Nicosia Airport till it moved to Larnaca due to a sudden outbreak of tanks. The modern Cyprus Airways is a direct descendant of this one and uses the same ICAO code so they could be merged. This airline had the long haul ability so would be a new airline to see at airports around the world, plus the A321 for greater short haul capacity. It failed in 2015 leading it to be declared bankrupt and the assets moved across to Charlie Airlines which was rebranded to modern Cyprus Airways. Would be a fun bonus livery for players to operate and give Cyprus its own long haul capabilities.

Where did they send the 330? Was it to places like JFK or just high demand routes in Europe

[Hirohitoswaifu]

High demand routes in Europe and the middle east, mainly to Heathrow as with their codeshare agreement with VA, you could easily transfer onwards to North America.
