London Airways, sorry I meant British Airways (well that's how we feel about BA up here in the provinces)

As soon as I saw this heading, I came to post exactly the same thing .... you beat me to it but I'll absolutely echo those sentiments as BA don't give a flying fig about anything in the UK outside London! That's why we should all get on KLM and fly via Amsterdam when that's an option, given they serve more than double the number of UK cities that BA do .... rant over

Whether named after the city or not, doesn't matter, just that it has a city name on it's name.

Actually, I did name Air Astana in my list.

Are we doing airlines in existence, or do defuncts/merged count too?

From India there is -
Darbhanga Aviation (1950 - 1962) named after the town Darbhanga in the state of Bihar
Kalinga Airlines (1946 - 1965)

Tehran Air...that will be interesting to see if it can compete with Iran Air for routes from the capital...

Mahan Air, I love their livery and have been about to buy a model of a Mahan Air Airbus or Boeing 747 for my aircraft model collection.

Back to topic....Air St. Pierre (St. Pierre city in St. Pierre and Miquelon Island)

VZLA787 · Wed Mar 28, 2018 4:48 pm

What aboutVARIG -acronym for Viação Aérea RIo-Grandense? named after Rio Grande do Sul?

Thread title didn't specify the airline had to be named for a city...just the name of a city in the title. Atlanta is a city whether or not the airline was named for the Atlantic ocean or not.

Phuket Airlines (ceased operation)
Siem Reap Air, a joint venture subsidiary of Bangkok Airways, also ceased operation
Also Cambodia Angkor Air comes to mind, but I'm not sure if it count. Angkor is the name of an ancient city, and now heritage site, not an actual city at present.
Fiji Airways
Air Tahiti Nui

« Tahiti » is not a city.

Air Cairo
Air Toulouse
Air Paris

Surprised no one has mentioned Delta, as it is clearly named after Delta, Colorado.

Maybe I am out of date, but they sure (did?) operate for AF:
http://www.airport-data.com/aircraft/ph ... 62233.html

But since "city" is not actually the name of a city, it was tongue-in-cheek anyway - see smiley next to it ;-)

They were owned by AF-KLM but were and still are based in Swords (north of DUB) under an Irish AOC

BA is not Spanish due to the legal location of its owner.

The name is a reference to LCY
