SkyJet Airways

SkyJet Airways is a major Antarctic airline headquartered in Polaris City, New Westshield, Polaris. Operating nearly 4,800 flights throughout Antarctica daily, the airline has a fleet of 418 aircraft, with service to over 300 destinations throughout the continent. This makes the airline the largest in Antarctica by flights operated, passengers served, and flights operated. The airline maintains seven South Pole City-Metropolitan International Airport, Polaris City International Airport, Club Penguin City International Airport, Enderby City International Airport, and East Bank City International Airport.

Considered one of the "Big Four" carriers in mainland Antarctica, alongside Club Penguin AirFlights, Air Antarctic, and CP Airways, SkyJet Airways has its origins as Mammoth Coastal Airways, a regional mail cargo airline based out of Penguville. The airline has since undergone various changes to its corporate identity, notably in instituting a total rebranding in 2010 to SkyJet Airways. The airline continues to carry a sizable portion of air passenger traffic within Antarctica, and consistently ranked high in industry-wide customer satisfaction ratings.

The airline is managed through parent company SkyJet Aviation Holdings, a publicly-listed Antarctic transportation conglomerate. In addition to its operational hubs, the airline operates mechanical bases at Penguville and Frostize, including SkyJet Flyer, Polarishuttle, Air South Pole, and AirTerra.

Mammoth Coastal Airways (1988-1998)
Beginning as a co-operative between several farmers and sliviculturalists in the outer reaches of the Polar Islands District, Water Kingdom, Mammoth Coastal Airways operated largely air mail and cargo routes on behalf of the Water Kingdom government, with its base and headquarters in Penguville. Initial service extended to Polaris City, Snowville, Glanell, Dodson, and Kernaghan at the time. In 1989, the airline began to offer service on a New Bercraft 1900D, a commuter aircraft, between Penguville and Polaris City. The invasion and colonization of the Antarctic mainland by Puffish forces, initially resulted in the suspension of operations for two months, after which the airline underwent significant corporate restructuring following new regulations imposed by the Puffish government in South Pole City. The co-operative was dissolved, and the airline was reorganized under the leadership of a consortium of investors, the Calmacht Group, which oversaw the expansion of Mammoth Coastal Airways' base at Penguville, and the purchase of three new Dash 7 and two new Dash 8 aircraft, with service introduced to Enderby City and Snellville in 1991.

By 1993, the airline continued to undergo unprecedented growth, with plans announced to open a second base at Polaris City. Enticed by the relatively low landing fees and availability of terminal space, Mammoth Coastal Airways soon distinguished itself as the largest airline operating out of Polaris City, with the introduction of new Snowing 737-300 aircraft to the fleet. The introduction of jet aircraft signalled the introduction of Prestige Class, targetted primarily for business travellers, and the formation of Mammoth Rewards, a loyalty rewards program for air passengers, the first of its kind among Antarctic airlines. The new base at Polaris City also saw the introduction of flights to South Pole City, Frostborough, and the Minervan Islands, notably Solace and Puerto Elanor. That same year, it was estimated by the Colonial Office of Industry that the airline captured a plurality, nearly 36% of the Polar Islands District air passenger market.

However, short-sighted decisions on the part of the company's leadership would eventually stunt the growth of the airline. A lack of re-investment into fleet, maintenance, and amenities allowed the airline to fall behind its competitors, leading to massive losses in revenue and passenger numbers. These problems would eventually crystallize in 1997, where a system-wide computer failure grounded all of the airline's flights for five days, drawing the ire of the public and regulators alike. Systems engineers for the airline were eventually called before the Colonial government in Snowdon to provide reasons as to the failure, where engineers admitted the company had laid off several of the workers who had installed the system in 1990, who have since gone into retirement. Testimony also revealed the company had knowingly overlooked flaws in its reservations and flight coordination systems as a cost-cutting measure.

Eventually, the ensuing public relations nightmare would not relent as the company began to reduce operations and lay off staff as a result of reduced passenger numbers and revenue. By February 1998, CEO Richard Kreight, a seasoned Penguville businessman was forced to resign by the Board of Directors, citing his complacency and absence of leadership during the fiasco. The interim President and CEO, Vincent Hulcraft, announced that the ailing airline was searching for a buyer, amid budding financial woes that were beginning to emerge. Many investors were reluctant, though Davis-Captio Holdings, a consortium of investors led by Sancho Monte Captio found opportunity for growth in the airline, and subsequently purchased it for $235 million in shares. With this purchase, Hulcraft resigned as interim CEO, with the Board of Direcs designating Monte Captio as his successor.

Headquarters
SkyJet Airways was headquartered at a fifty-three story, Parkland Place, built in 2009 by the airline, and is located near the grounds of South Pole City-Metropolitan International Airport, the largest airport in the country. The building is located in the highly-modern district of Yorkton, located 3 miles eat of the Metro area. The building is described as high-tech and ultra-modern, and houses dispatching offices, corprate headquarters.

However, changes in U.S. aviation law, particularly surrounding taxation, prompted SkyJet Airways to move its legal headquarters to Polaris City in 2016 in order to take advantage of the business climate in Polaris. Regardless, the majority of Polaris' corporate and operational affairs continue to be done through the Parkland Place headquarters.

Financial difficulties
The airline has had some financial difficulty, but has managed to re-bound up. The airline is one of the only airlines to not have been bailed out or file for bankruptcy protection. The airline has been given government money, and is one of the top companies that mangae their money well, as reported by Antarctic Business magazine in 2009. The airline had a very small debt in 2009, which was only 250 million pebbles, compared to other airlines, with an average of 9.7 billion pebbles, the highest being 45 billion pebbles.

Legal issues
The airline has not currently have had legal issues with the ATA or the ACAO, but had faced issues with the ATSB, due to faulty electrical lines found on SkyJet Airways Flight 55 aircraft, which was not properly checked by inspectors, and was found in both the starbort and port wings. The faulty lines prevented one of the flaps to not deploy, causing the aircraft to almost overrun the runway at South Pole City.
