Founded in 1972, Nordrhein Flug was a German charter and holiday airline based in Dusseldorf, operating a fleet of 727s within Europe. In 1977 and 1978, a total of twelve A300B4s were delivered from Airbus. These were used to increase capacity on flights to major European holiday destinations such as Tenerife, Ibiza, and Malaga. Attempts to begin seasonal service to Caribbean destinations (via Gander) were also made. However, after the aircraft proved to be too large for the airline, eight (including D-ANEA) were sold to Air Canadien, with only four remaining for intra-European flights and charter operations.


Note: I will be coming back to the MoscAvia brand in more detail later. The post-1993 livery for Nordrhein Flug may also eventually be made.



    You nailed it with the styling, I have some doubts with the tail and, just a piece of advice, it's written "Rhein" not "Reihn"

    Damn, I checked like 30 times and still ended up getting it wrong. I fixed the spellings everywhere and uploaded a new image - also took this opportunity to tweak the tail design, what do you think?

    I honestly dont enjoy the colours. :/

    The colours are good, he wanted to emulate that Hapag-Lloyd feeling and he did it very well
