:pushpin: Why should this airline be added?
β€’ Air Mekong was a Vietnamese regional airline that operated from 2010 to 2013. Despite its short lifespan, it played an important role in improving domestic air connectivity, particularly to under-served destinations in southern and central Vietnam, such as Phu Quoc (PQC), Con Dao (VCS), Buon Ma Thuot (BMV), Pleiku (PXU), and Da Lat (DLI).
β€’ The airline exclusively operated Bombardier CRJ-900 aircraft, making it one of the few Vietnamese carriers to fly regional jets rather than turboprops or narrow-body airliners. This makes it a unique and valuable addition to the game from both a gameplay diversity and historical perspective.
β€’ Including Air Mekong would enhance realism for Vietnamese players and fans of Southeast Asian aviation. It offers players a chance to simulate short-haul regional routes in a historical context, especially when combined with Vietnamese airports like Tan Son Nhat (SGN), Noi Bai (HAN), or Da Nang (DAD) if those are introduced into the game.
β€’ Furthermore, the airline’s distinctive red and white dragon-tail livery would bring a visually appealing design to the game’s aircraft library.
