Slokasian Airlines is an airline and the flag carrier of Slokais Islands, founded in 1942. Headquartered in New Liverpool, the airline is the largest airline in Slokais by both domestic and foreign passengers as well as the number of flights. The airline operates two major flight groups, Slokaisan Egret, which operates shorter domestic flights for a low cost, and Slokasian Star for international or major longer domestic routes such as New Liverpool-Santos to Kaijan City.
History
Founded in 1942 by the Ministry of Transportation as a flag carrier, the airline primarily operated inter-island travel, which was viewed as crucial for national integrity. With the expansion of John Santos International (then known as A.H. Huang), the new carrier was soon competing with Central Airlines. In 1943, the first flight was launched between New Liverpool and the newly opened Zhen Jin Airport in Pindai. In 1952, after some moderate success, the new National Reformist government took a key interest in Slokasian Airlines and forced all companies into either a merger or for the company to fall under the ownership of the National Reformist People's Trust for Aviation. This led to Slokaisan Airlines being well-funded throughout the 1950s and 60's, with the fleet being used by Juan Costa personally to travel the country.
