Airline Name
Hapagfly.comIATA: HF / ICAO: HLF / Callsign: HAPAG LLOYD
Country of Origin
Germany
Aircraft Types Used (from those available in WoA)
B738 (737-800) (37 operated) (Done as a secondary regular livery for TUI but if this airline comes would be the primary main livery, the final aircraft repainted from this livery was I believe D-ATUH which loses it’s scheme between June and July 2010),Previous livery (I’ve included this as it was the last aircraft to wear the old livery, being withdrawn in November 2009 and painted for delivery to Luxair as their first 737-800 (Then to Transaero in 2013 before settling with Jet2 who it still flies with to this day), it’d be a cool second livery for the airlines 737-800’s and allow players greater choice),
Hannover Airport livery (Included under TUI as if this airline never comes at least it could come as a special over there) (Wore this colour scheme until March 2010 when repainted for new owner NordStar, now flies for ASL as a pax aircraft),
A306 (A300-600) (1 leased from Lufthansa May 2005-Jan 2007),
Not in-game,
A310 (A310-200/-300) (3 of each operated, 6 in total, operated from 1988 till 2006),
-200,
-300,
White livery (2 leased from Lufthansa Express),
Cool overview at Madeira,
The owned one (Wore this until 2005 when sold on, could make for a dapper retro),
Fabulous little look at 2005 European airports. I love it!,
Why should this airline be added?
Descended from Hapag-Lloyd (Livery above on the A310-300), it became the main package holiday arm of the business, with HLX.com becoming the LCC side, effectively snapping the old airline in two to better serve different customer types, though HLX aircraft would regularly conduct flights for Hapagfly.com. The airline operated from 2005 until early 2007 when new owner TUI merged both Hapagfly and HLX together to form TUIfly, the yellow of HLX forming the main aircraft colour and using the style of Hapagfly for the now iconic TUI look.It would be a great airline to have on its own, though I’d also love to have the 737-800s available as regulars as part of in-game TUIfly if that’s more feasible, maybe with the A310s as special aircraft. It’d add another option for players airports, especially LEJ which would get an increased amount of local airlines alongside HLX, Air Berlin and others. Would be ace to see.
