Prior to the [[Second Great War (Aeia)|Second Great War]], the Midrasian air transport industry lagged behind that of other Asuran nations. Outside of the 'big-two' companies of Midrasian Oriental Airlines and PANOP, who both only operated to destinations outside of Asura, the Midrasian foothold within the air industry was small. Coupled with the country's ageing and outdated rail infrastructure, the decision was taken under the [[National Coalition (Midrasia)|National Coalition]] government of François Capet to create a new flag carrier airline company specifically to cater to flights from Midrasia to other destinations within Asura. With the growing unity between west Asuran states in the aftermath of the war, new agreements regarding air travel were coming into play that promised to make air travel between neighbouring states both cheaper and easier.

With the recession of the late 1960s however, the demand for air travel significantly decreased, leading many airlines to reduce their fleet size and number of routes. The recession was particularly damaging for Air Mydrazia however, as much of its recent expansion had been funded through loans given to the company. With the recession, many of these loans were called in for immediate repayment. In order to finance the repayment, Air Mydrazia was forced to sell off much of its fleet which fetched a relatively low sum owing to the low demand for air travel. Whilst the company continued in spite of its woes, its smaller scale and lower level of investment from the government only compounded issues. By 1967 the company faced bankruptcy with many fearing that the government would allow Air Mydrazia to collapse owing to its mounting debts and low demand for air travel. However, the company was saved via a last-minute bailout after a nationwide strike by pilots and aircraft operators.

MYD Air, formerly Air Mydrazia is the flag carrier and largest national airline in Midrasia. It is one of the largest airlines within Aeia by number of passengers and destinations travelled to. It is headquartered in Pommegourd, Lotric, near the city's International Airport.

The corporation was created in 1947 by the Midrasian government to facilitate the need for a flag carrier airline company. Originally operating only within Asura, increased investment prompted international expansion to destinations such as Ajerrin and New Velacruz. Despite the high governmental investment, the company struggled against other more established Asuran airline companies, and following the depression of the late 1960s, half of Air Mydrazia's fleet was sold off in an attempt to make the company financially stable. A much smaller fleet combined with lower investment only saw the company's situation worsen, with bankruptcy only averted in 1967 by a government bailout. Following the election of the Republican Party in 1970 however, the company became one of many sold off in widespread privatisations from 1975 onward. Midrasian entrepreneur Charles Blanche managed to secure a 57% stake in the company, paving the way for increased investment and expansion to destinations further afield.

Despite the increased investment, the company continued to struggle on the international markets, only worsened by a series of air disasters in 1977-78. In 1979, majority shareholder Blanche sold his stake in the company to air-enthusiast and entrepreneur Richard Davet. Under the leadership of Davet the company was transformed to focus on destinations outside of Asura, seeing the company gain large market share in areas such as Catai and Vestrim. In 2002, the company was re-branded to MYD Air to facilitate to a wider international market and remove the negative connotations associated with the Air Mydrazia name.

Today the company has established itself as one of Aeia's foremost airlines, particularly for destinations outside of Asura.

History

Air Mydrazia G-027 at Lotric Airport in 1949

Prior to the Second Great War, the Midrasian air transport industry lagged behind that of other Asuran nations. Outside of the 'big-two' companies of Midrasian Oriental Airlines and PANOP, who both only operated to destinations outside of Asura, the Midrasian foothold within the air industry was small. Coupled with the country's ageing and outdated rail infrastructure, the decision was taken under the National Coalition government of François Capet to create a new flag carrier airline company specifically to cater to flights from Midrasia to other destinations within Asura. With the growing unity between west Asuran states in the aftermath of the war, new agreements regarding air travel were coming into play that promised to make air travel between neighbouring states both cheaper and easier.

The new company quickly gained a foothold within the Asuran market, owing to its domestic flights between the capital and cities such as Almiaro and Berghelling which were primarily used by business personnel. Soon the company expanded to cover destinations in Ardaima, Cuirpthe, and Lhedwin; greatly expanding its reach on the continent. The expansion of the company soon saw it sign an agreement with Mydro-Newreyan aircraft manufacturer Wryhta to develop new passenger aircraft specifically catered to the company's needs. The newfound success of Air Mydrazia quickly made it a standard-bearer for both Midrasian innovation and the National Coalition regime. By the mid-1950s as much of the Midrasian overseas empire came to be engulfed in civil conflict, Air Mydrazia was able to benefit from the demise of Midrasian Oriental Airlines, chartering new long-haul routes to eastern Catai whilst MOA couldn't even access much of its fleet in Majula due to ongoing wars. Eventually, in 1956 Air Mydrazia bought out the collapsing Midrasian Oriental Airlines, hoping to reopen the companies old routes once the conflicts died down. This expansion overseas also saw the company charter new routes to Rennekka and Vestrim, in competition with PANOP. By 1964 Air Mydrazia's fleet numbered over 150 aircraft making it the second-largest airline company in the country after PANOP and one of the largest in Asura.

With the recession of the late 1960s however, the demand for air travel significantly decreased, leading many airlines to reduce their fleet size and number of routes. The recession was particularly damaging for Air Mydrazia however, as much of its recent expansion had been funded through loans given to the company. With the recession, many of these loans were called in for immediate repayment. In order to finance the repayment, Air Mydrazia was forced to sell off much of its fleet which fetched a relatively low sum owing to the low demand for air travel. Whilst the company continued in spite of its woes, its smaller scale and lower level of investment from the government only compounded issues. By 1967 the company faced bankruptcy with many fearing that the government would allow Air Mydrazia to collapse owing to its mounting debts and low demand for air travel. However, the company was saved via a last-minute bailout after a nationwide strike by pilots and aircraft operators.

An Air Mydrazia GRS-43 in 1976

In 1970 with the election of the new neoliberal Republican Party, attention once again turned to the fate of Air Mydrazia. Initially, a number of schemes were drawn up which would have seen the company remain in public hands, though operate at a much smaller scale. Eventually in 1975 however, the decision was taken to privatise Air Mydrazia, with entrepreneur Charles Blanche securing the largest stake in the company at 57% ownership. Under Blanche the company was able to once again return a profit as the international economy began to recover. The company also purchased 7 new supersonic turbojet Concorde aircraft which had recently been designed by a joint Mydro-Cuirpthean effort. The expansion in the size of the company's fleet saw destinations in Vestrim and Catai reopen, however issues with the GRS-43 aircraft put a dampener on the companies re-emergence. The Cuirpthean-made aircraft which made up a sizeable portion of Air Mydrazia's fleet was discovered to have a number of issues, particularly with its fuel lines after several issues with the craft including two incidents on Air Mydrazia flights in 1977 and 1978 respectively. Additionally, the new Concorde proved more of a marketing tool for the company rather than a profitable aircraft, due to its high running costs and low fuel efficiency. The damage to the company's public image was considerable, and the grounding of all GRS-43 aircraft greatly damaged the company's bottom line. Due to the damage that the GRS-43 had caused the company's brand, Blanche elected to sell his entire stake within the company to air-enthusiast and entrepreneur Richard Davet who had previously worked as part of PANOP.

Under Davet the company began to resurrect its brand image after scrapping the GRS-43 aircraft in a very public manner at the 1980 Vaellenia Air Festival. Slowly but surely the company began its re-emergence, but not the scale of its heyday. Yet the company notably elected not to get rid of its underperforming Concorde fleet, with Davet noting that he was "very fond" of the design, seeing it as the "future of the industry" and believing turbojet passenger aircraft would be more widespread in "ten to fifteen years time". However, with the emergence of new package holidays and cheaper overseas flights, Air Mydrazia faced much stiffer competition in Asuran markets as new low-cost airlines such as Moineau began to emerge. As a result, Davet moved to make the company emphasise long-haul destinations for holiday-makers, whilst its Asuran services moved to favour business commuters over tourists. Whilst this new focus put Air Mydrazia in direct competition with its major rival PANOP, the former soon outpaced its more established competitor owing to greater investment and the slow recovery of PANOP following the 1960s recession. In 2002 the decision was taken to rebrand the company as MYD Air in an attempt to finally break away from the Air Mydrazia branding, but also to "show the new, modern, sleek nature of the company" in the words of Davet. The rebranding appeared to be a success, allowing the company to build a foothold as one of the foremost airline companies in Aeia. Though, in 2005 the company elected to finally end its usage of the unprofitable Concorde aircraft which made its final voyage from Bonaire to Lotric on new years eve of 2005. The company however still retains 3 Concorde aircraft in storage, one of which is personally owned by Richard Davet.

Accidents and Incidents

The MYD Air Autero a310 involved in the Huangjin incident
  • On 5 October 1952, Air Mydrazia flight 98 crashed after an aborted landing at Blancharte Airfield. The aircraft had previously attempted one landing in high wind but had circled around after running out of runway. With fuel running low a second attempt was made, ultimately ending in failure. Of those on board 7 died and 23 where seriously injured. A further 3 died of their injuries after the incident.
  • On April 12 1977, Air Mydrazia flight 1043 to Königsreh caught fire upon takeoff at Berghelling Airport. The resultant fire caused an explosion within the rear fuel tankers killing 22 onboard, the remaining passengers and crew escaped unharmed. Later inspections suggested that the incident had been caused by a manufacturing fault with the GRS-43 Aircraft.
  • On July 6 1978, Air Mydrazia flight 1298 from La Isabella to Lotric caught fire mid-flight, forcing an emergency landing within the Opal Ocean near Almira. Nobody onboard was harmed in the incident, however inspections pointed to the same fault as that on flight 1043. The incident resulted in the worldwide grounding of all GRS-43 aircraft.
  • On August 12 2017, MYD Air flight 1876 to Huangjin made contact with an unmanned drone on its descent to landing. The aircraft landed successfully with minor damage, nobody was injured. The incident led to reforms for greater monitoring of airspace at all airports and wider legislation over the use and ownership of unmanned drones.
