Now that I like (especially having just read up about the Flying Tigers).

A few more! The Japan Space Lines livery is adapted from a fantasy Japan Air Lines livery designed by A. Fisher at Puck's Livery Zoo. (Used with permission.)

I would suggest British Spaceways, but the abreviation would be BS...

A ship with a big maple leaf (or a beaver!) would look good. Pity about British Spaceways. Maybe some variant of BOAC or BEA would work. What I really want is a Cogswell Cogs or Spacely Sprockets ship, but I haven't been able to find any logos on line.

Though "Aerospace" suggests atmospheric flight as well.
In medicine BAL is short of "bronchoalveolar lavage," meaning to use a saline solution to obtain cells and other from the lungs. That's what I think of first...
How about Astrolines, Astroways, Star Lines, Space Lines?
BTW: I was researching Canadian liveries and find that there's now no Canadian Airlines. Did it get replaced by Air Canada? (Like Swissair got replaced by Swiss?)

I'd just go ahead and use BS. In [i]Star Trek IV[i] it was implied that Anglo-Saxon profanity had fallen into disuse--for Kirk it was a historical curiosity.
And to keep viewers of the image from sniggering you could always spell out the whole name on the ship's hull.

Canadian merged with Air Canada as far as I can remember. I don't pay alot of attention since I don't do alot of flying

I actually download an eps file for the Air Canada logo and legend from their site, but I don't like the resulting plainess of the design or the name. These modern liveries with white fuselages and just a colored tail don't adapt welll to starships. Whatever happened to cheat lines? I think I need to work on this more. Maybe I'll try the Canada goose tail from the later Canadian planes. For what it's worth.
