Varsity Express (2010)
Entre todas las compañías de vida breve, esta se lleva la palma: Varsity Express solo duró una semana en operación, y ni siquiera llegó a operar todos los vuelos que aparecen anunciados en esta hoja. Su única ruta fue la que unía el aeropuerto de Oxford con Edimburgo.
There are many airlines that had a short life, but Varsity Express surely beats them all: it barely lasted for a week. It actually never flew all the routes shown in this sheet, its only route ever was Oxford - Edinburgh.

TAP Air Portugal (1987)
A finales de los 80 y principios de los 90 la TAP portuguesa operaba una red de vuelos doméstivos regionales con aviones de su compañía participada LAR (Ligações Aéreas Regionais), una compañía fundada sobre otra anterior llamada TAP Regional. Más tarde TAP aumentó su participación, incorporó nuevos aviones a la flota y la empresa, que voló durante algún tiempo a varios destinos en España, fue renombrada como LAR Transregional.
En cualquier caso, este es el único folleto de TAP del que dispongo que incluye también los vuelos doméstivos de LAR a aeropuertos en Portugal muy poco conocidos como el de Bragança, Chaves, Viseu o Covilhã.
In the late 1980s and early 1990s, the Portuguese carrier TAP had a network of regional domestic flights with aircraft operated by its partially owned airline LAR (Ligações Aéreas Regionais), a company which was founded following a previous one called TAP Regional. Later TAP increased its participation, added new aircraft to the fleet and the company, which flew for some time to various destinations in Spain, was renamed as LAR Transregional.
In any case, this is the only TAP brochure I have available that also includes LAR's domestic flights to little-known airports in Portugal such as Bragança, Chaves, Viseu or Covilhã.

Copenhagen Air Taxi (2012)
Este es el tipo de pequeña compañía, prácticamente desconocida (yo no había oído hablar de ella hasta hace muy poco), de la que me encanta colgar algo de vez en cuando. Como su nombre indica, es una empresa de vuelos a la demanda, pero que operan una ruta doméstica: vuelan desde el aeropuerto de Copenhagen-Roskilde (es la única empresa que opera regularmente en ese aeropuerto, centrado en el tráfico ejecutivo) a las islas danesas de Anholt y Læsø.
This is the kind of smallish, almost unkonwn airline I love to blog about from time to time. I had not even heard of this little airline until some weeks ago. As their name suggests, they are basically an air taxi operator, but they also had a scheduled flight from Copenhagen-Roskilde airport to the Danish islands of Anholt and Læsø. Roskilde is primarly an executive airport and CAT is the only scheduled carrier there.

Baltic International (1995)
Baltic International fue otra compañía de breve vida basada en Riga. Volaban a unos cuantos aeropuertos europeos y, como es habitual, ofrecían en su horario un gran número de conexiones bastante exóticas en compañías de la época, como el vuelo a Madrid con Viva Air via Londres.

Baltic International was another short-lived airline based at Riga airport. It flew to a handful of European destinations and as it was common practice back then, it published several pages of possible connections. Most of them were quite interesting to say the least, such as the Madrid routing via London on a Viva Air aircraft.
