Kathic Allonian Airlines, commonly referred to as Kathic Allonian is the second largest airline in Kathia with its headquarters in Vydau, Kathia.

History

Kathic Allonian was founded in March 1930 with 4 DC-2s that were transferred from Air Kathia. Eventually IA-4300s and several Convair 240s and DC-3s were purchased from the air force and converted to passenger use. Kathic Allonian was founded to focus on leisure routes from Kathia to places such as Achysia, Ichoria, Puldania, and Baccania. Its original hub was out of Ravonne-Gourdau, which was also Air Kathia's main hub. Kathic Allonian began operating Iszada IA-101s in 1960, its first jet aircraft, which allowed it to fly to North Veoharia and routes further east such as places in Taizi. Its route network and fleet continued to grow during the 1960s and 1970s with the addition of Boeing 747s and Airbus A300s. Kathic Allonian was the launch customer of the Airbus A310, and would go on to operate over 40 of both the -200 and -300 variants.

By the mid 1980s the airline had transformed itself into a full service carrier, and was the third largest behind the state run Air Kathia and Kathic Air Transport. In 1991 Kathic Allonian lost out to Air Kathia on its attempted purchase of Kathic Air Transport, it however stayed profitable despite the ongoing recession unlike its competitor which filed for bankruptcy the following year.

Kathic Allonian took on its first A330 in 1995 and used them to replace its aging A300 and eventually its A310 fleet. It also ordered a significant amount of A320s as well as 777s which allowed it to fly to destinations in Tarsis. In 2009 the company placed and order for the new A350 to replace its 747-400s as the new flagship aircraft.
