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, Lotrič, near the city's International Airport.
The corporation was created in 1922 by the Midrasian government to facilitate for the need for a flag carrier airline company. Originally operating only within Asura, increased investment prompted international expansion to destinations such as Khaonam and the Democratic Federation. Despite the high governmental investment, the company struggled against other more established Asuran airline companies, and following the depression of the 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 1971 however, the company became one of many sold off in widespread privatisations from 1974 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 increased investment, the company continued to struggle on the international markets, only worsened by a series of air disasters in 1987-89. In 1994, 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. In 2006, MYD Air purchased Moineau a Midrasian based low budget airline, enabling the company to increase its market share within Asura. Only two years later MYD Air also bought out the supersonic jet company Concorde.
Today, MYD Air is Midrasia's largest airline and Aeia's third largest airline company.

Accidents and Incidents
- On 5 October 1947 Air Mydrazia flight 128 crashed after an aborted landing at Blanchard 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 January 6 1963, Air Mydrazia flight 420 was hijacked on flight to Ardaiman South Arabekh. The pilot and co-pilot were forcibly removed by two men of Arabekhi origin. Following a ten minute struggle however, the cabin crew managed to regain control of the aircraft, diverting to Jajjkizonlia for an emergency landing. The two men were taken into custody, whilst 4 were taken to hospital with minor injuries.
- On December 18 1987 Air Mydrazia flight 893 overran the runway after an aborted takeoff at Yam-Yaroq airport. Nobody on board was harmed, however attempts to salvage their aircraft were botched resulting in the craft becoming submerged within the nearby sea. It is presumed that the remains of the aircraft are still there today.
- On April 12 1988 Air Mydrazia flight 1043 to Klintstadt caught fire upon takeoff at Berghelling Airport. The resultant fire caused an explosion within the rear fuel tankers killing 22 on board, 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 1988 Air Mydrazia flight 1298 from Sheridan to Lotrič caught fire mid-flight, forcing an emergency landing within the Opan Ocean near Almira. Nobody on board was harmed in the incident, however inspections pointed to the same fault as that on flight 1043. The incident resulted in Air Mydrazia scrapping all GRS-43 aircraft.
- On March 14 1989 Air Mydrazia flight 827 to Tian Jing collided mid-air with LG Royal flight 239. All 78 passengers and 12 crew were killed in the incident. The crash was caused by a flight path error over Chenosamean airspace. The resulting incident saw a huge collapse in Air Mydrazia's revenue as the fourth incident in three years.
- On August 12 2007 MYD Air flight 1876 to Huangjin made contact with a building on its descent to landing. The aircraft landed successfully with a damaged left wing, nobody was injured. The issue was believed to be have been caused by high winds and Huangjin Airport's close proximity to the city financial quarter. The incident saw increased safety measures implemented to ensure a similar issue does not occur in the future.
