Hemus Air (1993)
El slogan es completamente WTF: "No es tu última oportunidad, es la mejor, ¡tómala!" y realmente no sé si anima mucho a volar con ellos...
En los años 90 la antigual filial de Balkan para trabajoa áereos operaba algunos vuelos regulares como segunda aerolínea pública del gobierno búlgaro.
I think it is unsure that this weird slogan "It's not your last chance - it's your best, take it !" really encouraged people to fly with Hemus Air ....
In the early 90's, this former subsidiary of Balkan was flying some sheduled flights as a "second" Bulgarian national carrier.

TWA Trans World Airlines (1996)
Una bonita portada para celebrar los 50 años de vuelos transatlánticos; En realidad, en 1996 TWA ya estaba afrontando la etapa final de su historia y no estaba ciertamente en su mejor momento. Aun mantenía una cierta presencia en Europa (que no duraría mucho más) y la flota estaba compuesta por bastante modelos obsoletos e ineficienes para la época. Este folleto se publicó en un momento de transición hacia una nueva TWA, más pequeña (centrada en el mercado doméstico) y con unos planes de renovación de flota que no se cumplieron totalmente.
A very nice cover to celebrate TWA's 50 years of flying between Europe and North America; By 1996, Trans World Airlines was facing its last years, and the airline was certainly not at its best. It was still flying to some European destinations (this would not last long, though) and it was about to become a smaller, mainly US domestic airline, with a renewed fleet. TWA had a large number of tired, inefficient planes and there was a big fleet renewal plan, which was not entirely fullfilled.

British Caledonian (1987/1988)
El último horario publicado por British Caledonian, antes de su adquisición por parte de British Airways; no lo he escaneado entero, pero sí incluyo las dos páginas que listan las operaciones de esta compañía, que si bien llegó a ser una alternativa muy seria a BA, cuando fue adquirida por esta estaba en las últimas.
British Caledonian had managed in the past to become a serious alternative to British Airways, but it was just about to collapse when BA adquired this airline in 1987; this was the last timetable printed before the merger. I did not scan it completely, but I do include two pages that listed the whole British Caledonian flights operation.

Hamburg Airlines (1996/1997)
Realmente, es bastante asombroso el tipo de (más o menos pequeñas) aerolíneas regionales que surgieron en Europa en la década de los 90. Aunque Hamburgo es una de las ciudades alemanas más importantes, ¿os imagináis cuanto tiempo podría durar una empresa como esta hoy en día? ¿Cuántas semanas aguantarían?
Hamburg Airlines tenía una red doméstica y europea bastante ambiciosa, aunque la mayoría de los destinos sólo tenían unas 2 ó 3 frecuencias a la semana, y volaba con Dash-8 y Bae-146, sin estar asociada a ninguna gran empresa de red (aunque supongo que tendría acuerdos interline con la mayoría)... Realmente, algo muy diferente al tipo de compañías que vemos en la actualidad.
This kind of small(ish) European regional airlines in the 90's still amaze me... Even if Hamburg is one of the largest cities in Germany, how many weeks this kind of airline could stand afloat in the current air scene ?
Hamburg Airlines had a somewhat impressive domestic and European network, even if most destinations were served just twice or thrice a week. It had no relationship with any large European airline (I supposed it had interline agreements with most of them, though) and all of this using Bae-146 and Dash-8 ... certainly this is miles apart from the current airlines !

KLM / Air UK "Partners in Service" (1992)
Como ya sabemos, la creciente cooperación entre KLM y la británica Air UK terminó con la segunda empresa. Unos años más tarde operó con el nombre ✈KLM uk y finalmente acabó formando parte de KLM Cityhopper. También durante un corto tiempo, los Bae-146 de Air UK volaron con los colores de la low cost ✈Buzz.
The increasing cooperation between KLM and Air UK eventually ended with the second carrier being renamed as ✈KLM uk first and later split between KLM Cityhopper and Bae-146 flew for a short time as a low cost airline named ✈Buzz.
