Why should this airline be added?
An airline based out of BKK with a hub at HKT and flights operating out of DMK too, it operated from 2001 until it ceased operations in 2012. It flew to Europe, AMS, LGW and Paris (not sure which one), and lots of destinations across Asia including Tokyo, Osaka, NGO, HKG and Seoul. It started struggling as the Boxing Day Tsunami in 2004 had lowered tourism to the country and the in 2005 due to low maintenance as they struggled to afford it, they were banned from the EU. They started leasing operations especially for Hajj flights, but sadly this wasn’t enough to keep the airline afloat. Would be a cool airline to see, with a quite simple livery that hopefully would be easy to create in-game.
