Aerolaivynas is the state-owned flag carrier of Aucuria, headquarted in Kalnaspilis. It offers service to 84 locations.
Aerolaivynas was founded on November 9, 1923 as Aucurian National Air Fleet (Aucurian: Aukurijos nacionalinė oro laivynas), running airmail lines between Kalnaspilis, Laižuotas, and Naujoji Katniava. The company expanded its operations into Atlia in 1924, and began operating flights with destinations outside of Aucuria in 1927. In 1931, an Aerolaivynas plane carried the first airmail consignment sent across the Northern Sea, flying from Kalnaspilis to Bethlehem, Luziyca. The airline only began carrying passengers in 1936. The airline rebranded itself as "Orolaivynas" in November 1950, but changed its name again, to the modern "Aerolaivynas", eleven months later.
In the modern day, Aerolaivynas mostly operates within Nordania, Artisia, and Velkia. Its primary hub is Bendiktas Klimantis International Airport in Kalnaspilis.
