Pan Adria Airways

 

Seen from the spotters hill close to the village of Feldkirchen, YU-AJF is taxiing to runway 25 for take-off. Pan Adria Airways had operated Convair 440s acquired from Swissair in basic Swissair colours - apparently the concept was carried over to this DC-9 that never flew for Swissair. The airframe would frequently return to Riem with Inex-Adria Airways and Adria Airways.

 

Pan Adria Airways was formed in 1961 by the Yugoslav Government as a domestic operator. It later operated night-mail flights as well as domestic and international passenger and cargo charter flights. After the airline ceased operating the Yugoslav Government formed Trans Adria in 1978 to operate the Pan Adria routes. (Source: wikipedia)
