Company history

Hispania was founded in 1982 as an on-demand charter operator and began operations using two SE 210 Caravelle aircraft on charter flights to the Spanish resorts from Great Britain, Germany, France and other countries. In 1985 three Boeing 737-200 were added and those eventually replaced all the Caravelles.[1] As business increased, Hispania acquired a new fleet consisting of Boeing 737-300 and Boeing 757-200,[2] however, the aircraft lease payments were too expensive for the carrier to sustain and in 1988 it was nearly acquired by Air Europa. After the attempted takeover and other cash-investment schemes failed, Hispania ceased operations in July 1989. [3]

Fleet details
gollark: It's just very hot and big, and doesn't produce coherent light.
gollark: It is not, technically, a *laser*, as far as I know.
gollark: If you were at the centre of the moon or something, that would probably work somewhat as thermal shielding just because of how big those things are, so it would at least take a while for enough heat to reach you that it'd be a problem.
gollark: I wonder if you could somehow "skim" through the upper layers of the sun with a ridiculously large amount of mass to ablate and probably some stupidly high velocity.
gollark: A crater, probably, depending on how large it is.
