Air Quebecshire is Quebecshire's most well known airline and it's flag carrier. The airline has fulfilled this honor since 1974 when it was mandated by the Parliament of Quebecshire as an airline to be partially funded by the government's public transportation budget. Air Quebecshire is headquartered at Quebecshire City International Airport and it is the largest airline in the Serene State of Quebecshire.
Air Quebecshire is the primary airline due to its government support since its establishment in 1974. It became a member of the Sun Alliance in 2009.
History
Quebecshire National Airlines (QNA) was founded in late 1973, and began its operations within the Serene State of Quebecshire in early 1974. The airline was mandated by the government and thus receives a portion of the government's public transportation budget each year and also brings in various imports and sends out various exports from Quebecshire.
In 1994 the airline was renamed to Air Quebecshire once it began expanding to international flight on a larger scale. The Director requested the change and it was approved by the relevant government Administration.
In 2009, Air Quebecshire joined the Sun Alliance.
