Although the volume of Boeing's legendary tri-jets in the fleets of European airlines was not nearly as large as that of operators in the US domestic market, the Boeing 727 was still the centerpiece of the fleet of several medium-haul aircraft. major airlines in the 1970s and 1980s on the European continent. Therefore, these should not be missing in our model range for the 60th anniversary of the Boeing 727. The Yugoslav JAT had a unique position historically: although Yugoslavia was a one-party socialist state, it maintained a neutral position between the two major blocs in the Cold War and maintained relations with East and West. After the transition to a market economy, JAT took advantage of new jet aircraft offered by Western companies such as Douglas and Boeing. The first of twenty 727s were delivered from 1974 and were used on routes across Europe to destinations on both sides of the Iron Curtain. The last 727 were decommissioned only in 2005.
