Livery Details
This livery was introduced by Swissair at the beginning of the 1980s. It featured two stipes from nose to tail (black/brown) under the windows. It was used on planes operated between 1980 and 1995 and was rolled out on the first brand new McDonnell Douglas DC-9-80 (MD81), for which Swissair was the launch carrier, in September 1980.

Why should this livery be added?
Swissair, the former flag carrier of Switzerland, was one of the best airlines in the world until its collapse in October 2001. It often acted a lauching carrier for aircraft types as the DC-9-80, Fokker 100 and MD11. Swissair is an iconic airline in european aviation history and deserves its space in the most iconic aviation game!

Another example of how underused the aircraft is in game (at least the passenger variant), especially when you consider its home airport is in game and we have the B743 in the same livery.

100%. For such an iconic type, I feel it could do with a few more passenger liveries in-game. Plus this and the Swissair final livery and ofc the Swiss livery, it would allow players to begin building a Zurich of the past if they so wished.
