:pushpin: Why should this livery be added?

This livery would add more realism and a historic aircraft to the Air Dolomiti fleet.

The first flight operations were carried out with De Havilland DASH 8-300 aircraft, 50-seat twin-turboprops that were highly successful in regional air transport due to their combination of versatility and performance. Air Dolomiti’s excellent performance and efficient management of the Dash aircraft earned the Canadian manufacturer the title of “most efficient airline in the world.”
It could be found at TRS, Because in 1991, Air Dolomiti made its first flight from TRS with the first aircraft, which was actually a DH8C.

I didn’t know they also operated the Dash-8; it reminds me of the time when Boeing manufactured this model.

They were the original type the airline operated in the early 90s, steadily replaced with ATR’s coming to the end of the decade. Air Dolomiti only really moved into using jets in the mid 2000s with the BAe’s and CRJ’s but these were long retired by then.
