For this review we look at the Indian subcontinent which includes India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and islands in the Indian Ocean. For the majority of the time Schabak was around air travel in India was dominated by the two national carriers and so there weren't many airlines that schabak could make. Even then they never made Indian Airlines for some reason or even Bangladesh Biman. These are both obvious missing airlines but at least we've seen them in the form of my custom models.
Anyway the first airline in the region to be made was PIA at no 25. This is quite early for a Pakistani carrier but Schabak, and now Schuco obviously, have a good relationship with this carrier as they've made many models for them. Unfortunately until recently PIA had a rather ordinary livery but Schabak made it on the 747-200, A300, A310 and 737-300 nonetheless. A F-27 would've been nice though.
It was not until airline 94 that another airline from this region, this time Air Lanka, was made. Worth the wait though for the L1011 Tristar and later the A340. After the rebranding to Sri Lankan Schabak was going to make an A330 but sadly it never showed up.
