HLD HW Holiday Airlines Holiday Express Turkey

note

Holiday Airlines began operations in the summer of 1994 using Airbus A320 aircraft serving mostly the German tourist market. At the end of 1994 Holiday Airlines had to temporarily cease operations when two of the A320s were repossessed but services were restarted in 1995 using two leased Airbus A300B4. Holiday Airlines was in such a need of an aircraft to meet the demand that they used the Boeing 727-200, the Tupolev Tu-154 and the Yakovlev Yak-42. The crash of another Turkish holiday airline Birgenair off the Dominican Republic put all Turkish charter airlines under public scrutiny. By September 1996 Holiday Airlines was refused rights to fly to its key market Germany. By November 1996 company ran out of cash and had to cease all operations.
