Nice quote from one of my favourite TV comedies.

You did know that you were quoting an episode from the British TV series
"Yes! Minister" didn't you??

The plane has a Cambodian flag on its fuselage and is emblazoned with
the name Air Dream, but the authorities say they have no information
about the airline.

A descriptive name for an airline of this sort. Once the head of state
from Biranda arrived in London by an Air Biranda flight. Minister of
Department of Administrative Affairs, mr. Jim Hacker saw this happening on
telly. He turned to his permanent secretary sir Humphrey Appleby and asked
how many planes the Air Biranda has. It puzzled the minister when the
answer was: "none". "What do you mean by none" he said and pointed to the
TV set. Permanent secretary knew to tell that during the last six months
nine (9) African countries had arranged a state visit by leasing the same
plane which was naturally repainted accordingly. The British civil service
knew the company by name Mumbo Jumbo.
