Why should this airline be added?
Europe Aero Service was founded in 1965 and began operating charter flights between Perpignan and Palma de Mallorca. In 1971, the airline was operating the Viscount freighters on routes from Paris for Air France, flying newspapers across France, North Africa and to Frankfurt, Milan and Zurich. From the mid-1970’s the airline began operations with its first jets, the Caravelle, followed not long after by the 737-200’s, replacing the Herald’s and Viscounts. In the 1980’s the airline continued to expand with 2 727-200’s and taking on 737-300’s to operate more charter services and to lease the aircraft out to other airlines like Air Charter International.However, trouble was brewing in the 1990’s and by 1995 the airline found itself bankrupt and collapsed, with parts being purchased up by other carriers including Air Charter International, AOM Airlines, EBA and Air Toulouse.
It would be an excellent addition as it was a prominent European charter carrier with a presence seen in all countries across Western Europe for decades and would make for an excellent event livery for the 737 and a potential future French airport.
