Guess The Airline - October 2005

This was the first appearance for this airline, and the clues seemed somewhat obvious, especially the year of the foundation of the airline. Yet a lot of people submitted wrong answers and some were very perseverant. One last time, have a look at this advertisement from the Air Transport World issue of October 1980.

How to guess it?

The airline was clearly mentioned to be existing (or more precisely, to have been founded) in 1919, and the small print said it was the second oldest in the world (still flying under that name.) Also, it flew to only six cities in Europe and appears to be a major player in South America.

I'll be honest: at first, I couldn't believe how senseless some answers were. There were airlines that didn't even exist in the 20^th century, and airlines that didn't even exist. But then, I figure... it's not about winning. It's about having fun!
