Realm Airways

Realm Airways (RA) (Tipsprek: 𐍂𐌾𐌺 𐌻𐌿𐌺𐍄𐍅𐌴𐌲𐌴𐌽, tr. Ryk Luktvegen) is the airline of Tiperyn, as well as the country's oldest and largest. It was one of the largest airlines by fleet size and route network in Artemia. The state-owned airline is a founding member of the X Alliance along with Kaya Air Serivces and Linha Aérea Intercontinental Jungastiana, one of the largest airline alliances in the world.

Realm Airways has two mainland hubs and two territorial hubs. Ambrosia Aerodrome located in the northwestern outskirts of the Tiperyn capital is its largest, although Alahaven Aerodrome is considered its "home field" and in close proximity to its headquarters in the city of Alahaven. Its territorial hubs are Chimchag City Aerodrome, located in Chimchag City—a Realm City on the east coast of the Kaya peninsula in Avalonia—and Nasir Aerodrome, located in Nasir—the capital city of the Realm Dominion of Nasiria. Because of this, Realm Airways had a competitive advantage early on in its history as it was able to not only service routes to and from mainland Tiperyn, but to and from Nasiria in Northern Kesh and Chimchag City in Southern Avalonia. Thus, Realm Airways has built much of its strategy on international connections, particularly from Eastern Kesh to Western Artemia and from Central Artemia to Southern Avalonia.

The airline was founded as Tiperyn Realm Aero Line in 1929 by Richard Myerscough—son of Bradford Myerscough who founded the aircraft manufacturing company Ares Aerospace in 1913—shortly after the end of the Grand Campaigns. As a means to provide opportunities in the civilian market for the fledgling Ares, which at that point had been producing solely military and experimental aircraft, Myerscough partnered with courier service Realm Parcel Men to found Realm Airways' predecessor. The airline initially ran as an air postal service and VIP transport. The company began offering limited domestic passenger services in 1934 and was re-branded as Realm Airways in 1936. At the onset of the Great Kesh War in 1949, Realm Airways was with a large amount of its fleet being dedicated to logistical support for the war effort and a source of pilots. The airline would begin to operate jet airliners for the first time during this period. After the war ended, the Tiperyn government maintained control of airline, grouping it with other nationalized industries such as utilities, energy and agriculture, although the Myerscough family receives an undisclosed percentage of annual profits to this day.
