Airline:
NLM | Dutch Airlines
Have you run any profitable airlines in the game portion of AE?:
I always have, in fact, I am now running a profitable airline called ROMAT.
Before shutting them down or world resets, I had Surinam Airways and Bouraq and many more.
Airline Nation of Origin:
The Netherlands
Airline Description:
NLM was founded on March 22nd, 1993 as Nederlandse Luchtvaartmaatschappij, in English that would be Dutch Airlines.
It has since been headquartered in Rozenburg, which is a part of the Haarlemmermeer municipality near Amsterdam Schiphol Airport where this airline is hubbed.
Besides its head office near the airport, it also has smaller offices at other airports such as Rotterdam The Hague, Eindhoven, Groningen, Maastricht and hopefully Lelystad Airport very soon.
These offices accomodate waiting space and a collecting point for passengers who wish to travel by the airline's bus service to Schiphol.
Currently the airline flies to a handful of leisure and business trip destinations around the world.
The fleet currently consists of: Boeing 737 MAX 8, Boeing 747-8, Boeing 777-300ER, Boeing 787-9, Boeing 787-10, Embraer E195-E2 and orders for the 737 MAX 10.
Basically the inspiration for the design came from Virgin Atlantic mostly. I wanted to do a metallic type of livery and used them as an example.
I also decided I didn't want to go Eurowhite and do something a tad different from most European airlines, so I decided to completely colour the fuselage.
The idea behind this "new" NLM was "What if we took Virgin Atlantic and Little Red and made it Dutch, but with Little Red actually being succesful?"
I decided to go for a crown because well...KLM and The Netherlands still has a royalty running through it. So it's a symbol for class this airline would have in terms of service.
Why blue and not red or red and blue? Well, the real NLM, rebranded as NLM Cityhopper in the 1980's iirc had blue in its design. This version is basically my own take on what if NLM became a brand on its own next to KLM.
