[DanielX]

Airline name: Starlight Airlines
Callsign: STR
Country: United States
Hub: Las Vegas
Name of Manager: James McCarran

Fleet: 10x Boeing 737-800 (configured to fly 153 passengers in good comfort).

Purpose: to be a fairly nice airline, based in the Southwest (mostly Vegas). Notable for cheerful, friendly female flight attendants who wear miniskirts, as well as good food (the longer flights, like from Chicago, have actual meals, and the snack packs on shorter flights aren't just peanuts) and clean lavatories. Not a budget airline, but not intended to be ultra-expensive either. Everyone flies in semi-business-class - no first class seats, but 36 fewer than an all-coach layout and the seats themselves are fairly plush.

Destinations/Routes:
Between Las Vegas and...
- Los Angeles (LAX)
- Phoenix
- Denver
- Chicago-O'Hare
- Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW)
- Houston

Also, a DFW-Phoenix direct flight

Expansion plans: looking to extend service between Vegas and more cities, including those on the coasts. Perhaps a few more routes into Phoenix and DFW.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Aurora Air
Callsign: AUR
Country: Canada
Hub: Yellowknife, NW Territories
Manager: Michael Smith

Fleet: 3x Beechcraft 1900D (17-19 passengers),
7x Beechcraft King Air 350 (4-9 passengers) - both are twin-engine turboprops

Purpose: Aurora Air flies almost entirely within the Northwest Territories of Canada, primarily serving communities with a few hundred or thousand people (they don't do really bush locations; they do require the destination has at least a minimal airport). They have good mechanics and pilots and are reliable at getting passengers and cargo from one place to another; however, service isn't first-class as the copilot doubles as the steward(ess), and generally consists of hot beverages like coffee or hot cocoa, and sandwiches on longer flights.

Destinations/Routes:

Mostly a charter airline, however there are semi-regular flights (at least 1 a week when the weather is good) between Yellowknife and the communities of Fort Smith, Fort Simpson, Hay River, Behchoko, and Inuvik. Service is often seasonal and is best in the summer months.

Expansion Plans: looking to expand service into Yukon Territory and western Nunavut Territory (they already fly to some areas in both on request - it is primarily a charter airline, after all). Possibly a 'hub-link' flight to Edmonton in the not-too-distant future, to bring fliers to Yellowknife from a major airport.
