Kodeshia Airlines

Kodeshia Airlines (:山河间航空) is the state-owned of Kodeshia, and one of its four major airlines along with Trans-Tethy Airways, Air Kodeshia, and Kodeshi Airways International. It is headquartered in Songhari Jiuquan International Airport, operating passenger and dedicated cargo services to over 100 destinations across the world. The airline has a fleet of more than 200 aircraft, including Xs, Xs, Xs, Xs, Xs, Xs, and other models. Since its founding in 1935, the company has grown steadily into one of the largest commercial carriers in Kesh. Its current fleet includes some of the most modern planes available today.

Formation and early years (1935–1964)
Kodeshia Airlines Co., Ltd. was established on August 1st, 1935, as a private airline owned by a group of aviation enthusiasts in the southern city of Kesh. On March 25th, 1939, the State Council granted it a license to operate passenger flights. It started operations in the summer of 1939 with a Douglas DC-2 airplane. By 1940, it had gained a monopoly on scheduled air service in the province of Kesh, and became the first Kodeshi airline to establish its own independent maintenance base, employing engineers from Modrovia who were already experienced in servicing aircraft. Kodeshia Airlines remained in operation until March 27th, 1949, when it was seized by the military government of the Guoist regime and eventually turned over to the Ministry of Civil Aviation.

Post war (1964–1979)
In the post war era, Kodeshia Airlines was officially reactivated on June 21st, 1965, after the installation of the new Imperial government, which decided to open up the domestic market to foreign carriers. The first X arrived at Songhari Airport in June of 1966, carrying a crew of six. In the 1980s, Kodeshia Airlines began expanding its route network throughout northern and central Kesh, and set up bases in several cities. This period marked a turning point for Kodeshia Airlines, as it enjoyed unprecedented growth thanks to economic reforms and a high demand for travel during the second half of the 1980s.

Expansion in the (1980-1999)
In 1991, the airline opened its first hub for flights between Songhari and Avalonia. In 1994, the government approved the development of a second hub in Chenghai, allowing the airline to use that city as an important distribution centre for its air transport services to Avalonia. These hubs represented new opportunities for Kodeshia Airlines to expand its customer base and to build long-haul routes. At the same time, the airline started taking advantage of the new routes by launching code sharing agreements with other airlines. In 1995, the company launched flights to Artemia. In 1998, Kodeshia Airlines invested in order to become a more competitive airline. For this reason, it acquired two large X jets and purchased new X airplanes from X, both of them equipped with business class cabins. With these additions, the airline increased its number of passengers per flight and, consequently, reduced the cost of each flight. The following year, the airline made another step forward in becoming a global carrier. It signed a code sharing agreement with X and received approval from the Civil Aviation Administration to launch nonstop flights between Songhari and Hireno. As a result, the airline could offer direct connections between the two capitals.

Further expansion (2000-Present)
In 2001, Kodeshia Airlines took delivery of two additional Xs, which would be added to its fleet of Xs. The new planes allowed the airline to take advantage of the booming business demand in Kodeshia and KTEC, while continuing to connect its main Artemian hubs to Avalonia. To meet growing consumer demand, Kodeshia Airlines introduced a "priority booking" system in 2003, in which it offered consumers a special priority boarding arrangement that guaranteed them priority access to their seat.
