Why should this airline be added?
Holy mishmash Batman! This took longer to compile than I’d care to admit. Founded in 1986, the airline began by flying aircraft as a commuter service between airports before leasing an A320 from Airworld to cover the 1995-1996 winter vacation service. This was seen as a successful venture and the airline began to take on more European charter airline aircraft to operate routes during the busy vacation period in Canada during the winter, with the aircraft transitioning back to Europe for the busy holiday period of the summer. The airline steadily built up its own roster of aircraft, leasing them to said European operators during the summer months when demand was low, including the A330-300 being the first operator of the type in North America. The airline partnered with Sunquest Vacations to further their flight availability in the 2000s until in 2010 it was forced to end operations due to a $9 million debt to Sunquest. It would be a nice option to have in-game, maybe with just the final livery as that was the one seen at the majority of destinations served across the USA, Mexico and Caribbean in 2010, though others might be nice to see, bringing a colourful array of European charter airlines to airports they’d never normally see.
