Hawaii. IIRC they once had two "flag" carriers on the state level.

Wasn't there a semi-charter operation based at LUX? Or am I thinking of an earlier version of Icelandic?

Olympic (national carrier) which is now part of Aegean (private).

SAA apparently came close to going out of business.

Canada once had CP as well as AC. I always thought of both of them as flag carriers.

SABENA = such a bad experience never again.
