'''KDM Pulatec State Airways''', (Tswana: ''Letsema ya Moyatsela ya Lefatshe ya Pulacan - Kwa Dinaledi'') also known as '''Kwa Dinaledi Airways''' or '''KDM''' is the {{wp|flag carrier}} of [[Pulacan]]. Headquartered in [[Aachanecalco]], the airport maintains hubs in the city as well as Cuicatepec and Mabesekwa. Founded in 1931, KDM is the oldest Pulatec airline still active, and one of the most globally present, with destinations in X nations. Owing to Pulacan's strategic location, KDM serves as the primary carrier for trans-[[Ajax#Oceans|Oorupaqi]] services and flights connecting the [[Ajax#Malaio|Malaio-Ozeros]] region to the rest of the world. The vast majority of domestic and intra-Ozerosi flights are handled through its subsidiary and codeshare partner, Ozeros Connect Airways.
The '''Lost Decade''' was a time of protracted economic recession in [[Pulacan]].

==History==
In the aftermath of the Hanaki War, Pulacan was left with a large excess of military aircraft. The tactical evolution provoked by the war had necessitated a rapid buildup in the Pulatec air force; after its end, however, many of the craft proved redundant in a peacetime air force and were thus a burden on already-crippled state finances. Similarly, large numbers of military personnel needed to be demobilized, but finding civilian employment for them proved to be a difficult task. In an effort to reconnect communities that had been separated by the destruction of infrastructure during the war, the administration of President Dumelang Tsogwane reassigned many redundant aircraft to be mail carriers for the newly-formed Pulatec Air Mail Bureau. Former Hanaki War pilots found employment as mail carriers, and the Bureau's planes proved useful in reestablishing and expanding rural air transport links throughout the 1930s.
 
Gradually, the Air Mail Bureau expanded to passenger transit. From the beginning, ''ad hoc'' transit between cities was common; for example, rural medical personnel would often hitch rides on Air Mail services to reach remote villages quickly. Beginning in 1935, the Air Mail Bureau was authorized to purchase transport craft of its own; following this, older military machines were gradually replaced with newer, purpose-built cargo and passenger transport aircraft. The first regularly-scheduled passenger-only service began in 1936 between Aachanecalco and Mtsanga three times a week. In 1940, the Bureau was reorganized as a state-subsidized industrial [[Calpollism|''calpolli'']] group, and given the title of Pulatec State Airways. In the aftermath of the [[Monsoon War]], the State Airways gradually expanded outside of domestic flights and began operating routes to [[Zanzali]] and [[Pulau Keramat]]. The acquisition of surplus X flying boats from the Zacapine Military in 1943 opened a route from Aachanecalco to the Tapachtli Island overseas territory. This archipelago, owned by Zacapican, would grow into an important location as the stopover point for many trans-Oorupaqi flights in the time before nonstop services became viable. Gradually, a combination of flying boat and land-based routes would crisscross the Ozeros, Kayatman, and Malaio regions. Flying boats were phased out of service starting in 1953 as turboprop airliners became common and runways more widespread, with many leftover craft being either scrapped or converted to aerial firefighting units for foreign resale.
 
KDM entered the Jet Age with the acquisition of 4 [[Aztatl Association|Aztatl Az-40]] turbojets in 1962. As one of the first airlines outside of Zacapican to adopt jet technology,
