I'm definitely competing
The airline's name is pretty much clear from the logo, i'd say, but to end all (though unlikely) doubt, my airline's called
OrangeAir. It started out as a small airline based in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, serving the biggest commercially attractive locations in Western Europe. We were out there to help the Dutch businessmen. Now, we are bigger than I'd have thought in the time it took. Our first trans-atlantic flight is already planned (as soon as we have the appropriate aircraft
), and our inaugural flight to the Middle-East wasn't that long ago either.
The reason why I chose this brand is actually the same as the one in the press release. I read
this article about one Martin H., a promising young entrepreneur, who tried to 'unisolate' the Isle of Man. With succes, one might say, but most would disagree. Naturally, I thought I could do a much better job, so I tried. A lot of energy, young and reckless thinking and crap research should do the trick to create a world renowned airline. Being Dutch, I figured Holland could do with a little Baby Bransonish airline. I still don't quite know why I had to choose Holland, as Europe's skies are quite crowded, but I think I had two main reasons:
1) Many people are quite prejudiced about the Dutch, with our gay marriages and drugs legislation, and this could be stopped by transporting Dutch people all over the world,
2) Dutch people like to travel, but they don't really like KLM.
So, to make a long story short, OrangeAir tries to fill the gap that KLM has left in the minds of the Dutch lone traveller.
I didn't expect this to be this long, i'm sorry EDIT: Forgot my livery
For the story behind the livery, check my press release. It is the truth and nothing but.
The aircraft on the picture is a Boeing 7e7 Dreamliner (in FlightSim 9), the only aircraft I'd really have to buy for OrangeAir as I just really, really like it. And it's an easy texture to work on, as I didn't have a lot of time.
