@Flacko spotted a missing aircraft, the A340-300,

A343 (A340-300) (2 ordered but not taken up),

:pushpin: Why should this airline be added?
An odd airline that flew from 2006 until 2012 with a fleet of only 4 747-200s, it operated charter services and some regular services to the likes of JFK, Birmingham International, Jeddah and Kuwait as well as plans for LGW. It conducted a lot of charter flights to European holiday destinations, flights to cover Olympic Airlines collapse in 2010 as well as Hajj flights. It would make for an interesting addition to the game if added as a regular contract, especially for operations to European playable airports from Athens. Very much would like to see this :smiley:.

Adding a missing aircraft operated by Hellenic Imperial Airways:
A340-313 (A343) - Registration: A9C-LH - Operated: 2
Formerly operated by Gulf Air which wasn’t taken up by the airline due to financial issues.

They mentioned it on wiki but due to planespotters not showing them I didn’t even bother looking them up. My mistake, I’ll have to do better :rofl:. I’ll pop them in now.
