Presenting another new MD80 texture by HJG community painter Carl POUL BRAGER (aka "CABRAG") .... this time featuring a SCANAIR (SAS subsidiary) MD83 which was leased to fledgling Greek charter operator VENUS AIRLINES between April and September of 1993 ....
VENUS AIRLINES MD83 SE-DPH (1993)
VENUS AIRLINES was founded during 1992. It was one of the first Greek airlines to be certified as a private operator. The airline commenced services during April 1993. It operated a total of 8 MD80 aircraft (MD81 SX-BBV leased from ADRIA AIRWAYS, MD82 SX-BBW leased from ADRIA AIRWAYS, MD83 SX-BFO leased from TRANSWEDE, SE-DPI leased from SAS, SE-DPH leased from SCANAIR, and SX-BAQ leased from BALAIR/'CTA, and MD87 SX-BAV and SX-BAW leased from TRANSWEDE) between 1993 and 1997 .... along with 3 B757-200 aircraft (SX-BBY, SX-BBZ, and EI-CLP leased from GPA) between 1995 and 1996 .... and a single DC9-20 (N951VV leased from McDONNELL-DOUGLAS through AMTEC CORPORATION) from 1997 .... each of which operated charter flights from Greece to tourist ports in Scandinavia, Germany, Switzeland, and France. VENUS AIRLINES ceased operations during 1998 .... citing increaesd competition as well as bureaucratic impositions by the Greek Civil Aviation Department being the reasons for its demise.
Carl .... "THANKS A BUNCH"
This particular subject will be a great accompanant for Tony's VENUS AIRLINES MD87 (SX-BAW) repaint .... which is alreadu currently available at HJG {)
