Why should this airline be added?
Nothing particularly historical regarding this airline (Nothing really at all, internet is a bit bare bar the accident) but it was a South African cargo airline which operated flights from Johannesburg, via Lagos, to Europe, mainly BRU and Ostend in Belgium. It did this for 3 years between 2000 and 2003 with an ex El Al combi 747-200 until it landed hard at Lagos and was damaged beyond repair so was scrapped there in 2008ish. Would be a cool airline to have in-game for another nifty 747 classic freighter. Even though this was a combi, it was never used for passenger operations so would be cool if it was a regular freighter 742.
Someone made a music video with a photo of this plane crashed?
