BAe 146-300 - Astra Airlines (defunct) - SX-DIX [4K]
The JF BAe 146 comes packaged with a dark blue Astra Airlines livery (SX-DIZ) but surprisingly not this one, which has a much funnier registration. This is an early iteration of the livery, prior to some pretty obnoxious Thessaloniki Football Club branding which was slapped on later in life.
This is my first attempt at a livery and it certainly isn't perfect. Please let me know if you find anything wrong and I'm happy to try and fix it up. If you like it, please consider throwing a like and/or comment my way. Thanks!
Astra Airlines - AZI/A2 - GREEK STAR
Astra Airlines are a defunct Greek airline which operated predominantly out of Thessaloniki airport (LGTS). They had a variety of interesting routes, both throughout the Greek islands as well as abroad. I've struggled to find flight numbers unfortunately but I did find these two route maps - domestic and international - from Airline Route Maps' website.
Apparently the airline didn't do too grand and was suspended by IATA, and quickly folded after that. But any BAe operator is a bae of mine! Bizarrely, their website is still up, so if you want to have a trawl through it feel free. I highly recommend a read of the News page - a lot of blaming strikers for all their issues!
Recommended Route
Less because I actually recommend it and more because it's the only solid flight number I could nail down, but...
-
- Thessaloniki to Chios, AZI202
- Chios to Thessaloniki, AZI205
Highly recommend AlexAb's excellent freeware Thessaloniki for all of your Astra Airlines operations; https://flightsim.to/file/3961/lgts-thessaloniki-makedonia-airport
Changelog
- 1.0 - Initial Release
- 1.1 - Small mipmap fix (removing them) to hopefully fix blur issue
Great livery! But it does have a misplaced window texture on the 20th pax window on both sides of the fuselage. You can see it in the tail photo in the photos for the file. The base texture just needs to be moved a bit.

Could you also do a livery for aviro air? They bought one of astra airlines Bae 146, left it in their colour scheme and just put different logos and registations on it

I've been waiting for this alternative color scheme of Astra Airlines! Thanks very much for doing it.
However, I've noticed that everything (particularly the Astra logos and flags) seem to blur at a certain distance away from the aircraft in either spot/drone view. I'm guessing around 50ft away. Not sure why this is happening, but I've taken a screenshot if you wish to review.
Other than that, nice upload!

Thanks! I did notice that when I was taking the screenshots, I thought it was just on my end. I'll do some investigating..
