Airline Name
LAPSA Air Paraguay
IATA: PZ / ICAO: LAP / Callsign: PARAGUAYA
Country of Origin
Paraguay
Aircraft Types Used (from those available in WoA)
A320 (A320-200) (1 operated (HC-BUM), 3 others operated by SAETA in LAPSA livery (HC-BUJ, HC-BUH and HC-BTV)),Coming soon to the game,
B732 (737-200 Adv) (2 operated),
Not yet in-game,
A310 (A310-300) (1 operated),
Appears the A310 had a split livery with LAPSA on one side and the below SAETA on the other. This would be a fab special livery to have in-game with the A310 if and when it comes,
Why should this airline be added?
LAP was taken over by SAETA in February 1995 after being privatised by the Paraguayan Government due to a string of bad financial losses. It ended up operating a host of SAETA aircraft during its short tenure with the airline before being sold in October 1996 to TAM who renamed it TAM Mercosur, bringing to an end the LAP identity. TAM Mercosur would be merged into TAM operations in 2008 and Paraguay’s national airline was gone.It would be an excellent addition, providing Paraguay with an airline and GRU/SCL with another flashy livery.
