Lemavia (Lemovician: Lemabija) is an airline based in the self-proclaimed State of Lemovicia, and according to Lemovician authorities, is the country's flag carrier.
History
With the proclamation of independence from West Miersa on 21 November, 1979, and the subsequent seizure of Topagunea International Airport, including four Rogozin R-20 planes of Miersair which were parked there at the time, it became prudent on the Lemovician government to establish its own airline, with an envisaged goal of serving as the "transit hub between the socialist nations on the continent."
Thus, on 1 December, 1979, a decree from the Lemovician Section of the Workers' International confiscated the planes and established Lemavia to serve as the flag carrier of Lemovicia. However, due to the political situation in the country, in addition to neighboring Slirnia, flights were restricted to East Miersa, although a flight to Dražovice did briefly operate in 1980.
As the Lemovician War intensified, particularly in the aftermath of the Miersan War in 1982, Lemavia grounded its fleet until the signing of the Arciluco Agreement. With this, flights resumed to Kordyn and to Dynsk. Services would last until May 2003, when a Lemavia flight was shot down by the Miersan National Armed Forces, leading to the temporary suspension of its operations, and to both Lemovicia and West Miersa nearly going to war before an agreement was made, with West Miersa compensating for the loss of life, in exchange for Lemovicia flying a route through Slirnia to Kordyn and Dynsk, as opposed to the direct route through West Miersa. Thus, flights resumed in October 2003.
In 2009, the first Õhumulli O-27 regional jet arrived, beginning the replacement process of the Rogozin R-20 turboprops that had been used since Lemovicia's independence in 1979. The last of the Rogozin R-20 turboprops were retired in 2011, with the R-20s sold to aviation museums.
Services
All Lemavia planes are in an all-economy class configuration, or as it is known in Lemovician, langile klasea, literally meaning working class.
Seats on Lemavia planes are able to recline, and an in-flight magazine, which showcases Lemovician culture and stories from Lemovicia, is provided. Lemovician cuisine is offered on all Lemavia flights, although as all its current routes only serve East Miersa, these take the form of complementary snacks.
While the first items of checked baggage and hand baggage are free, for any subsequent luggage, it costs 50 groszy per item of checked baggage, and 25 groszy for hand baggage.
Lemavia theoretically allows for connections between Lemavia flights with no extra fees, but as all flights are currently only between Lemovicia and East Miersa, this is not offered.
