Satavian Airlines Corporation Ltd, commonly known as Satavian Airlines, is the flag carrier of Satavia and its largest airline by fleet size, international destinations and passengers carried. Satavian Airlines is one of the world's oldest airlines through its predecessor companies, with Satavian Imperial Airways Corporation, commonly known as SIAC, the oldest of those, founded in 1935 to provide a trans-Vehmens service from Port Hope, at the time capital of the Dominion of Satavia to Morwall, Estmere. Satavian Airlines dominated the Satavian commercial aviation industry during the late 20th century and into the early 21st century but struggled to survive following the 2005 global financial recession. In 2006, the airline entered into administration, before being rescued by the Norton government, which began a huge reconstruction process that saw the airline lose a large portion of its market share both internationally and domestically.
Satavian Airlines remains one of the largest airlines in the Asterias, and is a founding member of Sky Alliance, the world's second-largest airline alliance, through its predecessor Air Satavia. Satavian Airlines operates a fleet of 98 aircraft, across 61 destinations on all four inhabited continents. The airline operates primarily out of its main hub in Port Hope O'Connell International Airport, the larger of the two airports that service Port Hope, in addition to smaller operations originating from Port Arthur-Fort Kinnon International Airport and Victoriaburg International Airport. Its headquarters are in the Greystone suburb of Port Hope, adjacent to Port Hope/O'Connell Airport.
The airline operates a fleet consisting of Airbus A220, Airbus A320, Airbus A321, Airbus A330, Airbus A350, Boeing 747 and Boeing 787 aircraft. Following the nationalisation of the airline in 2006, the airline moderninsed it's ageing fleet. The airline has won Airtrax Best Asterian Airline for three consecutive years, in 2017, 2018 and 2019.
