Flitestar (1992)
SAA (South African Airways) mantenía un monopolio en los vuelos domésticos del país hasta que en 1991 Flitestar, una aerolínea centrada en el viajero de negocios, comenzó a hacerle competencia. Era una filial de Trek Airways, la misma que operaba cojuntamente con Luxair los vuelos de Luxavia a Luxemburgo.
SAA (South African Airways) kept a monopoly in the South African domestic market until 1991, when Flitestar, a business-passenger oriented airline, started operations. This airline was a Trek Airways subsidiary, the same airline that was operating the Luxavia flights to Luxembourg in a partnership with Luxair.

SAA (South African Airways) (1990)
Ya hemos tenido algunos ejemplos de SAA de antes y después del fin del Apartheid; Este folleto de 1990 corresponde a un periodo intermedio en el que comenzaba una tímida democratización del país (que aun tardaría varios años en finalizar).
En él se incluyen los servicios internacionales de SAA, además de numerosas conexiones a otros puntos en Europa y África. Además, en esta época otras aerolíneas europeas como TAP o Olympic volaban a Johanesburgo, y Sabena y UTA volaban entre Kinshasa y Sudáfrica.

We had already had some previous posts about SAA here, both before and after the Apartheid regime. In 1990, the country was starting a slowish democratization process (which would still last for several years)
This 1990 timetable includes international services flown by SAA, plus many connections to other destinations in Europe and the Americas. Airlines such as TAP and Olympic were flying to Johannesburg, and also Sabena and UTA were flying between Kinshasa and South Africa.

Ciertamente, el mundo era bastante diferente: todavía existía el Zaire y Nambia era conocida como "Africa Sudoccidental"
The world was different back then: Two countries that no longer exist: Zaire and "South_West Africa" (SWA) which is Namibia today.

España : Guía horaria (1982)
Antiguamente, se editaba en España esta publicación periódica con todos los servicios de tren, barcos y aviones. Como curiosidad, os cuelgo la sección de horarios de vuelos publicada en septiembre de 1982. Incluye todos los vuelos domésticos (obviamente entonces operados por Iberia y Aviaco únicamente) con sus tarifas, además de la mayoría de los vuelos internacionales (al parecer, algunas compañías no habían mandado la información a la hora de publicar) En esta época Iberia volaba a Moscú (dejó de hacerlo durante unos años más tarde), a Oriente Medio y también a algún destino hoy abandonado en su red como Kinshasa.
Ciertamente, eran muchos menos de los que hay hoy en día, con un mercado mucho más regulado en el que había también menos compañías y casi todas estatales. Por otro lado, Iberia atendía menos ciudades europeas pero saliendo de más aeropuertos españoles.
This kind of booklets, showing all train, air and ferry services in Spain, were published at regular times for many years. I am posting today the air section of this September, 1982 issue, including all domestic flights and fares (at the time Iberia and Aviaco were the only airlines in the country), plus almost all international services to/from Spain (it seems some airlines had not sent their data at the time this edition was sent to press). Iberia was flying to Moscow (this was flight was suspended for some years later) , to the Middle East and also to some other destinations which are no longer served, such as Kinshasa.
There were certainly far fewer flights as they are today, as there were as well far less airlines (most of them State-owned) and the market was thighly regulated. On the other hand, Iberia had a quite limited European network but it flew European flights from many Spanish airports.
El mapa ferroviario no tiene mucho que ver con este blog, pero lo cuelgo por si a alguien le interesa; además, el desarrollo de la red es, en parte, culpable de la desaparición de muchos vuelos domésticos en la Península.
This Railway map is certainly an off-topic here, but I am posting it nevertheless, just in case someone is interested. Also, major changes in the rail network over the years is partly to blame for the disappearance of manydomestic flights in the Peninsula.
