A tribute to Spanair, in pictures...

I travel often through Spanish airports, where Spanair aircraft were a common sight. They came in different sizes and colours, the result of a convulse corporate history. Spanair, we will miss you! 

Here is my photo-tribute:

The old livery, here a Spanair Airbus at Madrid-Barajas

And the new livery...this one spotted at BCN

 Spanair was a proud Star Alliance partner

A Boeing 717, we'll see some more of these in the European skies soon!

Spanair was positioning itself as "the Barcelona airline": here a map of its network in a commercial advert

Spanair's fleet was initially made of MD-83s, some of these have remained with the carrier until the end

Despite management efforts, the outlook had always been really foggy for Spanair...
