:pushpin: Why should this airline be added?
This airline should be considered in the game, as UK International Airlines was a short-lived British airline, founded in 2005 and based in Sheffield, UK with a fleet solely consisting of 2 Boeing 767-200s. The airline commenced services on 19 October 2007 with a flight from East Midlands Airport to Sharjah and Islamabad but in December, UKIA have suspended all operations, citing ongoing concerns about the fleet and problems with security at Islamabad International Airport.

There was definitely a theme in the 2004/2005 era where British airlines kept appearing with 767-200 fleets, SilverJet and the others. Would love to see this.

Thought Iā€™d just pop in this video as well about its history. This guys great, used to work for XL Airways.
