Guess The Airline - January 2014

This month, we had an advertisement from a 1977 issue of The Economist for an airline that no longer exists.

Click or tap on the ad to reveal the answer.

How to guess it?

As Montego, an airodyssey.net user so eloquently put it: “It’s obviously [name of defunct airline]!
1. The plane shown has a blue-themed livery.
2. First flight to/from Brussels to Africa.
3. Majority of listed destinations in Africa are still served by [name of successor airline] today”

Statistics

In a multiple-choice poll, 63% of players got the right answer, and 37% got the wrong answer. The most popular wrongs answers were Iberia, SAS and UTA (9% each). The correct answer was Sabena Belgian World Airlines.
