What now defunct airlines have you flown on?
Discussion
Loftleidir Icelandic , from, LHR to Prestwick then to Keflavic ,then to North US finishing in one of the New York airports , All done in the "Whispering Giant " Bristol Britania
That broke down so to back to LHR on PanAM .
I note Britania has had a couple of mentions , that has morphed into TUI and the food wagons from Britania can still be seen on TUI aircraft

I think Loftleider flew Canadair CL44s rather than Britannias.That broke down so to back to LHR on PanAM .

The CL44 was based on the Britannia but had different engines and other improvements.
Most of the defunct airlines I flew on have already been mentioned but two really short lived ones that haven’t been covered are Istanbul Airlines and Pharaoh Airlines. I also flew with Aer Lingus Commuter - on a Shorts 360.
