🇨🇦 About the Airline
Royal Airlines was a Canadian charter airline that operated leisure flights primarily to warm-weather destinations in the 1990s. Based in Montreal, the carrier specialized in vacation packages and sun destinations, serving the Canadian travel market during its relatively brief operational period. Though no longer in service, Royal Airlines remains a point of interest for aviation historians and model collectors due to its distinctive branding and limited representation in die-cast form.
