View Full Version : Boeing Holiday jets. Going on from Mooncrests Boeing Holiday jets thread I thought that a similar one regarding the Boeing during the same period would also be interesting. I have combined the Boeing and Boeing series as neither of which were flown by many European charter airlines during the 's. Looking forward to reading other members contributions.
Another hard one after the initial list but how about toros air - turkey lineas areas canaries - one leased for a summer. Thanks for those two additional Boeing operator's. Another airline that operated Boeing 's during the 's was the French charter airline Europe Aero Service.
Icelandair had a few Boeing 's in their fleet during the 's that flew charter flights from Reykjavik Keflavik to the Canary Islands and Mediterranean resorts along with the airline's scheduled flights. American Trans Air - operated for either Air or Paramount. The wasn't really very suitable for European operations - whereas the was perfect. For along time you were much likelier to fly a in Europe than in the USA. There are pictures on the airliners site of it at both LGW and JER in the summer months of , so no doubt the odd tourist or two on board.
Naturally in those days aeroplane mad kids were always welcome in the cockpit and I always remember the delightful flight crew who indulged the then 15 year old self on the LGW-KOS flight with a wonderful chat about their new toy. So new in fact, the Singapore Airlines paint scheme was still evident in parts outside, as was the registration brass bearing 9V-SGC mounted on the instrument panel.
Wardair - I never saw it but their single apparently spent a lot of time in Europe. As someone else above has said, it operated into LGW, I saw it there on a few occasions back in the day. I flew in Hapag-Lloyd and Condor 's from Germany to the Canary Islands and they always seemed to be very spick and span compared to other airlines. Was that the that once threatened to make an appearance at LBA pre extension?
