What now defunct airlines have you flown on?
Discussion
All of them Australian Airlines.
Ansett
Compass Mark 1 (think it was a leased Monarch A300)
Australian (Not sure if i went on its predecessor TAA) was absorbed into Qantas. Also an A300 with 9 passengers!
Skywest which has changed name and owners a few times and is now Virgin Australia Regional Airlines.

One I haven't seen mentioned that I flew over to Crete on
Air Scandic (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_Scandic)
Looked like someone got carried away with the ClipArt for the plane livery....
Poor plane! That "livery" is tragic! I hope it feels slightly better in IranAir livery now.Air Scandic (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_Scandic)

I did lots of flying with Low Cost airlines in the 00s
Duo - very short lived
Wondered if anyone was going to mention Duo.Duo - very short lived
Based Birmingham, only lasted 6 months, but very positive passenger experience, mainly on flights to Scandinavia and Milan.
Many other now defunct airlines already mentioned, not going to duplicate.

Jeez it was knackered when I flew on it, I hope it's had a refurb since then! Edited by LunarOne on Thursday 9th May 21:34
(Flew on it probably back in about 1999/Early 2000's)
I remember that it was looking very tired inside and the return journey was delayed by many hours due to the cabin filling with smoke waiting to taxi to the runway.
Had to turn back and sort the issue before taking off, many hours later....
I remember it as it had a 3-3-3 seat configuration, with the big old TV screen in the middle.
Looks like it's still setup the same with Iran Air.
