Now a cheatline livery is also a very rare thing.
Meridiana is a merger between the italian Alisarda, founded in 1963 and another merger between LA Canarias, UniversAir und Euravia. from Spain. They started with Beechcraft C-54 and Fokker F-27s. Since 1974 they're flyng Jets. So the airline itself is quite classic - at least to me. they also flew DC-9-14/-51 and MD-80s. But to say the truth, if ever this airline makes it to a diecast model, i think the 767 has got better chances than the others.
