West-East Airways is an ViZionarian airline that was formed in 2023 by the merger of two legacy airlines, Western World Airline and Eastward Airways. The merger aimed to create a more efficient, competitive, and customer-oriented airline that could offer better service and value to its passengers. West-East Airways operates flights to over 200 destinations in ViZion and other regions. It is a founding member of Sky Alliance, a global airline alliance that provides seamless travel and benefits to its members. It is headquarted in Port of New Alton, State of Tanzania, ViZion.
While there are many competitors, it is in a tight battle with its most direct competitor, Hishan Air Lines, for title as the third largest airline in ViZion.
History
Western World Airline
Western World Airline was founded in 1934 in ViZion City, and was one of the first airlines to offer transatlantic flights, jet services, and low-cost fares. It also had a strong presence in the cargo and charter sectors. However, it faced many challenges and difficulties over the years, such as labor disputes, financial losses, safety issues, and customer complaints. It also struggled to compete with larger and more successful airlines both domestically and internationally. In the last few years, it posted growing losses and faced bankruptcy. It nearly went out of business after two deadly crashes in 1984.
Eastward Airways
Eastward Airways was founded in 1949 in Vitalita, and was one of the first airlines to offer inflight entertainment, frequent flyer programs, and online booking. It also had a loyal customer base and a good reputation in the industry. Like Western World Airline, it also faced countless challenges and difficulties over the years, such as rising costs, regulatory changes, security threats, and environmental concerns. It also struggled to expand its network and its fleet, and to keep up with the changing demands and preferences of customers. In the last three years, it posted losses and faced liquidation.
Merger
The merger between Western World Airline and Eastward Airways was seen as a strategic move to save both airlines from collapse and to create a new airline that could compete better in the global market. The merger filled in the gaps in their airline network, allowing them to offer more destinations and more connections to customers. It also allowed them to save costs by combining their resources, operations, and staff. It also allowed them to improve their service quality by adopting best practices from both airlines.
One of the key features of the merger was the creation of a new loyalty program called Compass Loyalty Program. This program replaced the old loyalty programs of both airlines, which were considered outdated and ineffective. Compass Loyalty Program is designed to reward customers for their loyalty and to make their travel experience more enjoyable and convenient. It offers points for every dollar spent on flights and partner services, which can be redeemed for free flights, upgrades, hotel stays, car rentals, and more. It also offers exclusive benefits and privileges as customers climb up the tiers of the program.
West-East Airways is more than just an airline. It is a community of travelers who share a passion for exploring new horizons. It is a story of resilience, innovation, and collaboration. It is a vision of a brighter future for aviation.
