In 2018, the BritJet Group founded its third sub-brand, Sunshine. This new carrier was designed to cover the lowest possible tier of airlines - the LCC market - which the Group did not yet have any play in. The name of the airline and to some extent also its branding was based on British International Sunshine, the holiday carrier that British International had run between 2010 and 2014. The expansion strategy for Sunshine was much more aggressive than for Astra (the previous spin-off airline), receiving two A320neos and six A321neos in 2018, then seven more A320neos and eight more A321neos in 2019. Five A321neoLRs were also taken delivery of in 2019, allowing for flights to the Caribbean and Dubai. The A320neos and A321neos in the Sunshine fleet were configured more densely than the ones operated by British International or Astra, with 198 seats on the former and 238 on the latter, in a constant-pitch, all-economy setup. A321neoLRs are configured the same as standard A321neos, and therefore able to be operated on the same short-range routes. Sunshine began flying from Stansted - ironically, the original birthplace of British International - but expanded into Gatwick and Manchester by the end of 2019.

    do you make the aircraft outline, or is that a template?

    I make templates for each aircraft type and then use those every time I need them. So the outline is a template, but it's also made by me, like 100% of the seatmap elements.

    I want to learn how

    I want to learn how

     

    First of all take that website 

     

    Then start a little rolling there. To begin with, I recommend you "QATAR" seat maps. When you enter many of Qatar planes, you will see that you can download those seat maps files as very high quality PDFs. CLICK IT!

     

    Take a sample file from there and at least have a model aircraft in hand for the first stage.
     
    You can then find your own seat design by looking at different airlines, or you can draw any seat you want with the adobe illustrator or any other software. At the first stage, copying designs will give good results to learn the subject-how to do part very well. 

     

    Then, as @POTKC says, you can place your own seats in a ready-made template or plane.
     
    It will vary depending on the software you will use, but Adobe Illustrator will certainly give you much faster results. Of course, you can also use Photoshop according to the usage information.

    Yeah that pretty much sums it up. The Qatari ones are nice, but I also try to find several different images and use them all as reference to get the shape and size of the fuselage right at the beginning when making the template. Boeing's ACAPS documents usually provide some very handy LOPA diagrams that are very helpful for that kind of thing.
