Announcements - The Modern Times / Royal Nigerian Returns
Last post by NZelenkova - Today at 06:27:44 AMNoticing a total lack of domestic airlines in the high demand regional and domestic market of West Africa, the people dumb enough to invest in Guyana after watching a few Noel Phillipps videos have moved their operation to a market they know actually works. Thoroughly researching the local aviation scene after seeing that video these people nevertheless thought they could do better than multiple airlines that went bankrupt even with government subsidies.
Having embezzled considerable amounts prior to this inevitable exit, the less than reputable foreign investors behind TroxAir are proud to steal the venerable Royal Nigerian brand. We discovered it in an antique thumb drive from 2012 found in a desk drawer from long gone previous occupants of our new (old) office at Nnamdi Azikiwe airport. Something tells us the world will end by 2035 but we are nevertheless determined to have a respected airline before then.

Last post by KingAirways - September 11, 2026, 01:10:17 PMQuote from: Sami on September 11, 2026, 07:59:14 AMAh yes, indeed, the aircraft info page does not show the various engine/payload variants, and thus no link to the range chart that you see e.g. on New Aircraft page. Have to keep it mind when doing updates to these pages later on.
Thanks! Please also make wind visible. The DC-8-11 shows ~2300nm, but can't make JFK-LAX with more than 50 PAX and no cargo.

Announcements - History and the Future / SOUTHERN STAR Airlines Announc...

LAE, PAPUA NEW GUINEA — Following the momentous declaration of independence for Papua New Guinea, Australian-owned SOUTHERN STAR Airlines has officially announced the conclusion of its flight services within the country. The airline will completely vacate its regional routes to clear the path for local aviation enterprises to fulfill the transport needs of the sovereign nation.
SOUTHERN STAR Airlines began its journey in the region eight years ago, launching its inaugural operations at Lae Nadzab Airport in March 1967. Since that historic first touchdown, the airline has spent nearly a decade providing vital cargo and passenger links across the challenging terrain of the Morobe Province and beyond.
As the red, black, and gold flag of Papua New Guinea rises to signal the birth of a proud, independent nation, SOUTHERN STAR Airlines chooses this transition period to step aside. The management and crew express immense gratitude to the local communities, staff, and passengers who shared in their journey over the last eight years.
"We extend our warmest, most heartfelt congratulations to our neighbors and friends in Papua New Guinea on reaching this incredible milestone of self-determination," said a spokesperson for Southern Star Airlines. "As an Australian-operated carrier, we believe true independence means allowing PNG's domestic aviation sector and local airlines to step forward and shape the future of their own skies. We are incredibly proud of the foundation we built here since 1967, and we leave with ultimate confidence in the local carriers taking the reins."
The phased withdrawal of SOUTHERN STAR Airlines aircraft and equipment from Lae Nadzab Airport will take place over the coming weeks to ensure a seamless transition for regional travel networks.

Last post by NZelenkova - September 11, 2026, 06:22:50 AMEastern Aviation Company, approved six months ago by Politburo to serve aviation needs of glorious Soviet Union in growing eastern regions, is disappointed foreign capitalist "Elite Alliance" has successfully bribed local officials for airport slots. We remain dedicated to serving Soviet people while supporting Soviet aviation industry. We proudly are first to introduce newest innovation of Tu-134 airliner and immediately became favorite of local party officials travelling to Moskva. We suspect foreign infiltrators are also continuously monitoring used market to intentionally slow our growth but we have plenty of funding to continue skipping line at Tupolev.
Our political Commissar Col. Nadia Zelenkova is long time veteran from earliest days of Soviet civil aviation with several great successes under her command and has no intention of backing down. We true Soviets will not be intimidated.

Announcements - Airline Generations / Royal Nigerian- The Best Seats...
Last post by NZelenkova - September 11, 2026, 06:01:48 AMDespite having begun operations just six months prior, Royal Nigerian has announced intentions to move up a planned 1956 fleet modernization to improve profitability and passenger comfort. We had procured three DC-2 and one DC-3 aircraft from US military surplus because they were low cost and readily available to begin our largely local operation. However with time to crunch the numbers and look over several months of data, we've determined the fuel savings from switching to newer aircraft early will more than offset the significant increase in leasing costs that comes with brand new planes.
Towards that end we are pleased to announce that in just three months we will begin showing our Commonwealth patriotism with an order for brand new DeHavilland DH.114 Heron aircraft to rapidly replace our entire fleet. These Herons will introduce luxurious seating with ample room and superior comfort for our passengers compared to the ex-military benches of our present fleet. With this seating upgrade alongside modern engines with a 70% better fuel economy we will achieve the standards expected from a proper airline instead of a colonial backwater.
We continue to sit on a large reserve of capital for future investments. This not only facilitates our early exit from our existing aircraft leases but opens up the possibility of future expansion. The Heron has a significant range advantage over the DC-2/3 and we are already considering new destinations further afield in both British and French territory.
