Airlines - A to Z (V - April 2023)

The goal is to create a compendium of ALL the airlines from A to Z (and numbers), using both Google Streetview (ground level views), Google Photo Sphere (ground level views), and Google Earth (top down views). Each month, we'll go through a different letter of the alphabet (A, B, C, ... G...Z) and everyone will share google streetview/photo sphere links and/or google earth kml files (and a pic thereof) of an airplane airline showing the livery of an airline/organization whose name starts with the letter of that month (example: A = American Airlines, C = Copa Airlines, I = Icelandair), etc. The plane must be on the ground (parked or taxiing). You may need to go into historical imagery to find defunct airlines!

When posting - please include the Airline Name at the top and a little information about the airline.
For Google Earth: coordinates and date
For Street View: link and date
For Photo Sphere: link

Last month, we had our first of the difficult final months -> we posted airlines that started with the letter U and still found an impressive 58 airlines!

This month, April 2023, we continue the stretch of difficult letters at the end of the alphabet - we will be posting airlines that start with the letter V!

Happy Hunting!

This AN-124 (registration RA-82042) of Volga-Dnepr Airlines had a serious accident in November 2020 in Novosibirsk. Shortly after takeoff at 1,000 feet, engine #2 exploded, severely damaging the aircraft. Turbine parts severed cable harnesses and hydraulic lines. There was a power failure. The pilots decide to turn back and make an emergency landing - without reverse thrust, power supply and radio contact, with 84 tons of cargo and full tanks. A little later, all 14 crew members can leave the wrecked Ruslan unharmed. The An-124 only comes to a halt in the snow 300 meters behind the runway, with the nose gear buckled. One thing is clear: it was a real masterpiece by the pilots.
The aircraft is still in Novosibirsk and is currently being dismantled.

GM SV shows the machine a few weeks before the accident in Billund (Denmark)
