Why should this airline be added?
I’d say this airline should be added because I feel it would make for a relatively small, yet nice, unique special arrival addition - their livery, at least to me, is pretty striking and prominent - almost certainly an eyecatcher at airports.
I also feel it would be an excellent addition to further complement not only the current United States airports when it comes to their special arrivals, but also the Caribbean (SXM) and possibly even Europe, as over the airline’s tenure, they did operate charter flights overseas, though really just to airports like Brussels and Amsterdam.Sources:
