Holavia - Holyn Airlines, marketed simply as Holavia, (Hornat: Holavia - Holynska Aerolínie), is the flag carrier of Holynia. Established in 1922 as Holyn Aviation Establishment in Uhrov, Holynia. It was tasked with flying mail across Holynia during the 1920s and 1930s. It expanded in the 1940s, emphasizing regular domestic services and seasonal international service to Communist bloc nations. It grew rapidly in the 1950s, growing alongside the expanding Communist bloc during this era. The airline became an arm of the Ministry of Transport, through the Civil Aviation Commission. The airline became a representative of the Holyn state, with establishment of air services representing an investment by the Holyn government. In 1953, the airline became branded as Holavia, a shortened version of Holyn Civil Aviation Commission. In the 1950s and 60s, jet services were established with several domestic models of jet aircraft being acquired. In 1970, the first widebody airliners began to enter service. The route network of Holavia peaked in the 1980s, serving almost 500 destinations and operating a fleet of over 1,000 aircraft. Its destinations varied from allied Commgroup nations to states considered political adverseries. The route network began to contract in the 1990s, as Holavia was forced to aggresively cut costs due to the economic situation in Holynia. During the 1990s, almost 500 aircraft were retired. In the 2000s, the airline divested of several operating branches to focus on international flights.
