Why should this airline be added?
This airline should be added as it would be a small, yet notable and unique addition that would give more variety to European arrivals - and possibly farther out too, if we consider Fischer Air Polska’s 757s (when it comes to PRG, they could reach as far out as IAD/MCT, from what I saw). Of course, the 737-300s are also notable and definitely better-looking livery wise (at least to me lol) but I’d really love to see more 757s, especially around Europe.While the airline did cease operating several years before 2010, which could likely prevent it from appearing as a normal map operator, I still do think it would be great event material, or even as special contract material for PRG (in which, as far as I am aware, PRG has no special contracts in its pass, at least when it comes to native airlines/special liveries).
So, in short, I think this should be added as it would be relatively small, yet distinctive addition, which would add a little more variety to European events, and as a bonus, possibly serve as special contract material for PRG - it also gives the 757 a bit of love, and their 737-300s could definitely appear with the upcoming 737 remodel.
