History

Founding and early years

Valkea Air Lines was formed in 1935 with the merger of the Valkean Air Transport Company, National Air Line Company, and Itäänmaa Air Line Company. This merger was done at the behest of the Valkean government to consolidate the country's fledgling airline industry into a single company and provide subsidies more efficiently. Its first passenger air services were carried over from their former component companies, forming a domestic network that connected the cities of Våren Livet, Novika, and Mustakivi. The newly formed airline eventually grew its domestic network to reach other major cities such as Dagsmark, Osterlund, and Maarinnat.

Its first international route was created in 1939, flying passengers from Våren Livet to Rõlva in Ostrothia with stopovers in Osterlund and Brantevik. This quickly followed with routes to cities in Caledonia and Nynorsk Ostlijord. However, due to the outbreak of the 2nd Great Astyrian War, Valkea Air Lines was unable to start flights outside of Vinstria.
