1/400 Spanish Mediterranean Airport

[Thomson737]

We move into 2011. The all white A321 operating on behalf of Air Mediterranee to Toulouse. The A310 does have a slight tail heavy issue while the IL-96 has a balance issue on the middle main undercarriage. Hardly noticeable but worth mentioning.

Movements from 2012. Not the busiest of updates but traffic worth showcasing as you might expect at a Balearic/Mediterranean airport. The easyJet is a custom, G-EZUA, and I realise that perhaps the A of the registration is missing on this side. The SunExpress is also a custom, not the best paint finish but still a decent enough job for what we have lacking in 1/400. Hopefully NG release one. The Jet2 737-300 is also a custom. I would hope to have Yorkshire and Manchester too.

Movements from 2013. A good variety of traffic in this update I would say. The Arik Air didn't arrive from Lagos, instead it was recalled by Hifly temporarily to operate a one off charter seen here on an outbound taxi to Madrid. The all white A319 is that of Belle Air (F-ORAJ), a former low cost Albanian airline which later ceased in November 2013. Also not the Wizz is that of their short lived Ukraine division.

This update follows movements in 2014. Some significant aircraft here with the Danish Air Transport MD-83 sporting the full 2014 FIFA World Cup Trophy Tour colours on a charter service to Belgrade. The Antonov 124 making an appearance which will depart to Brussels. The Pullmantur Air making an empty departure back to Madrid after operating a charter service.

Focusing in 2015 we have a great dominance of Air Berlin. Once a significant airline of Germany and perhaps across Europe. The RJ85 (BAe 146-200) that you see is G-LENM of Cello Aviation having arrived from Birmingham.

As we move closer to the present day, or at least before the world came to a stand still, we focus on the year 2016. The most notable movement in this setting is the Qatar Amiri Flight A340-300 A7-AAH operating as Amiri 9.

The all white A321 taxiing past operating as LZ-PMZ for Air Via.

A delayed update due to work commitments. The next update will follow close after and the last update will be scheduled a week later.

In this update we focus on 2017. The B747-400 (Wamos Air EC-MRM) operating on a CAA charter flight for Monarch.

can you do you do it in the 70s-80s?

No. That era is before my time so I don't know the full in depths like I do from the 90s onwards.

The year of the 2018 FIFA World Cup. Here we see some fitting movements for this sporting event. The white A321 you see as that of Just Us Air YR-NTS operating a sub charter for TUIfly to Dusseldorf. The Sunwing B737-800 operating for TUI UK from/to Newcastle.

One of the best 1:400 scale model airports I've seen. Excellent job! Greetings from Colombia.

Thank you for your appreciation.

The last and final update for this airport is upon us. From 1994 to 2019. It's been a pleasure creating this setup and displaying some models that are now perhaps hidden in the past. Some models acquired specifically for this project. This airport may well make future appearances but for now it's time to explore other avenues, specifically the US focusing on Southwest Airlines and more. Then it's likely I will return to the UK base to focus on the freight aspect (and passenger services).

Thank you for all the support on this thread.

Is this update, based in 2019, we see a dominance by TUI Airways (UK). The Blank 767-300 is that of EuroAtlantic Airways CS-TKT positioning from Lisbon, while the blank A320 beyond the Tunisair A320 is that of Avion Express Malta 9H-AMA.
