Creeperian Airlines (Creeperian – Creeperian: Աերոլձնեաս Ծրեեպերիանո; Creeperian – Iberic: Aerolíneas Creeperiano),[note 1] legally operating as Creeperian Imperial Airlines, S.A. de C.V., is the largest airline and the flag carrier of Creeperopolis. The airline is one of the largest in the world and the largest Surian airline based on its fleet size and the number of passengers carried. Creeperian Airlines is a founding member of the Sun Alliance.
The Creeperian government established Creeperian Airlines, then known as Creeperian National Airways, in 1927, and the airline commenced operations in 1928 as a government-operated commercial airline. During the Creeperian Civil War from 1933 to 1949, the right-wing Catholic Imperial Restoration Council (Imperial Council) assumed control of the airline's assets; the Imperial Council rebranded the airline as Creeperian Imperial Airlines and incorporated it as a military unit as a part of the Creeperian Air Force, officially designated as the 1st Aerial Transportation Fleet. The Imperial Council-controlled airline had divisions which operated as an air taxi for military and political leaders, as a troop transporter, and as a cargo transporter. Following the end of the civil war, the Creeperian government merged the assets of Red Star Airways—a rival national airline established by the left-wing National Council for Peace and Order (National Council)—into Creeperian Imperial Airlines and resumed commercial passenger operations, operating as simply Creeperian Airlines. The airline was privatized in 1972 and put on the stock market. During the 1980s and 1990s, the airline was a frequent target of terrorist attacks by rebels and paramilitaries which opposed the Creeperian government and was considered to be one of the world's most dangerous airlines. The airline's safety reputation has since recovered, however, and only one fatal terrorist incident, the bombing of Flight 899 in 2013, has occurred in the 21st century.
As of 2022, Creeperian Airlines employs nearly 85,400 people. Creeperian Airlines has a fleet of 310 aircraft which consists entirely of Maroto Botín narrow- and wide-body aircraft; the airline is the largest operator of many of Maroto Botín's airliner models. Additionally, Creeperian Airlines is the only major airline in the world which trijets compose a majority of its fleet, with those trijets being the Maroto Botín MB-10, MB-11, and MB-13. In 2022, Creeperian Airlines carried around 184.2 million passengers across the 155 domestic and international destinations it operates to all three permanently inhabited continents. Creeperian Airlines operates out of three primary hubs (San Salvador–Romero I, Adolfosburg–Adolfo III, and Salvador–Alfonso I) and three secondary hubs (Nuevo Xichútepa, Cámarillo, and Chalatenango).
Creeperian Airlines is majority-owned by Creeperian Airlines Holdings. Although Creeperian Airlines Holdings is a public company on the stock market, a plurality of its shares are owned by the Sáenz family, a prominent family in Creeperian politics. Creeperian Airlines Holdings owns 95 percent of Creeperian Airlines, with other shareholders owning the remaining 5 percent, and as such, the Sáenz family is considered to be the airline's de facto owner. Creeperian Airlines' headquarters is located at the Creeperian Airlines Tower in San Salvador, San Salvador. The airline's parent company, Creeperian Airlines Holdings, owns and operates two airlines which act as subsidiaries to Creeperian Airlines: Creeperian Airlines Connect, which specializes in connecting flights to small airports, and Creeperian Airlines Cargo, which specializes in cargo operations. Creeperian Airlines Holdings also owns a plurality of shares of both Lakefront Airlines and Southern Express, two Creeperian regional air carriers.
History
Establishment
During the 1920s, several regional airlines were established across Creeperopolis, almost all of which specialized in mail delivery. The mail airlines utilized foreign-made aircraft until the mid- to late-1920s when they began to purchase Creeperian-manufactured aircraft from the Maroto Aircraft Company. In 1926, Mauricio Maroto Galván, the founder of the Maroto Aircraft Company, began to lobby the Creeperian National Parliament to establish a passenger airline to take advantage of a potential transportation market which up to that point had not existed in the country. Maroto Galván successfully petitioned Alfredo Gaitán Velléz, a member of parliament from San Salvador del Norte, to present the National Airline Establishment Act to parliament; the bill was defeated by a 60–184–1 margin on 17 January 1927, with Prime Minister Antonio Sáenz Heredia arguing that Maroto Galván had not proven that the airline would be profitable and that the Maroto Aircraft Company could develop a passenger airliner which could be mass-produced.
After several more months of lobbying the parliament, Gaitán Velléz presented the act again on 19 October 1927 and it was approved by a 150–95 margin. Minister of Transportation Gustavo Villatoro López formally announced the establishment of Creeperian National Airways on 5 November 1927 and appointed Maroto Galván as the airline's director. The Creeperian Socialist Party expressed its opposition to Maroto Galván's appointment as director, arguing that he held a conflict of interest to only purchase the Maroto Aircraft Company-manufactured aircraft, in fact, he stated that the airline would not begin operations until it had acquired its first Maroto Aircraft Company-built passenger airliner. The competitor Botín Aircraft Corporation also argued that the airline would not purchase their aircraft in order to benefit Maroto Galván's company. After the Socialists won the 1927 general election and Édgar Cazalla Beldad became prime minister, he dismissed Maroto Galván as director and Cazalla Beldad's minister of transportation, Julio Ramírez Trejo, appointed Federico Guzmán Tejón as the airline's new director.
In July 1928, Guzmán Tejón purchased one Maroto C-2 and one Maroto C-4—both mail carrier aircraft—to begin government mail services while both the Maroto Aircraft Company and the Botín Aircraft Corporation develop their passenger airliners. The Creeperian National Airways officially commenced operations on 15 September 1928 with the inaugural mail flight from San Salvador to Adolfosburg. Guzmán Tejón was impressed by the performance of the Maroto MA-1, the company's first passenger airliner, and ordered a total of 50 airliners in November 1928, however, the Maroto Aircraft Corporation implemented some upgrades to the MA-1 and began delivering the upgraded aircraft, designated as the Maroto MA-2, to Creeperian National Airways instead and the airliner entered service in 1930. In 1931, the Botín Aircraft Corporation presented its Botín M-1 to the airline, and the airline ordered a total of 35 airliners; deliveries for the M-1 began in 1932. After the 1932 general election, Sáenz Heredia returned to the premiership and dismissed Guzmán Tejón as the airline's director; instead of restoring Maroto Galván as director, however, Villatoro López (who was re-appointed as minister of transportation) appointed Pedro Rivera Juárez as director.
Civil war operations
On 4 January 1933, two days following the San Salvador del Norte Incident and the start of the Creeperian Civil War, Rivera Juárez declared that the airline would cease all operations until the "present period of civil disruption comes to an end". The following day, the right-wing Catholic Imperial Restoration Council (Imperial Council) declared the seizure of all Creeperian National Airways assets and declared the airline merged as a unit of the Creeperian Air Force. The airline was renamed to Creeperian Imperial Airlines to distance it from the left-wing National Council for Peace and Order (National Council).
As a unit of the air force, Creeperian Imperial Airlines was officially designated as the 1st Aerial Transportation Fleet. Juárez was removed as the airline's director and was replaced by Lieutenant General Augusto Íñiguez Durán, although the position of director was abolished and was replaced by the position of "commander". Íñiguez Durán commanded the 1st Aerial Transportation Fleet until his promotion to general in 1938, after which, he was succeeded by Lieutenant General Andrés Cornejo Payés. He commanded the fleet until his own promotion to general in 1945. Cornejo Payés was succeeded as commander of the 1st Aerial Transportation Fleet by Lieutenant General Néstor Guillén Trujillo, and he commanded the fleet for the remainder of the civil war.
The airline was utilized by the air force primarily to transport cargo for military operations, to transport soldiers, and as an air taxi service for military and political leaders. The 1st Aerial Transportation Fleet was divided into five wings, each commanded by a major general. The five wings were the 1st and 2nd Utility Transportation Wings—both of which transported cargo—and the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Personnel Transportation Wings—the 1st transported political leaders and the Creeperian royal family, the 2nd transported military commanders, and the 3rd transported soldiers. These five wings remained intact throughout the civil war, although a sixth wing—the 3rd Utility Transportation Wing—briefly existed from 1947 to 1949 to resupply military units specifically during the Siege of San Salvador.
The airline utilized aircraft from the Maroto Aircraft Company as well as some aircraft which were sold to the Imperial Council by foreign state supporters. Although the Imperial Council declared that all assets had been seized by the air force, many of the airline's aircraft were in National Council territory at the beginning of the civil war and those planes were seized and allocated to Red Star Airways, a rival airline established by the National Council which served a similar transportation role within its own air force.

Destinations
As of December 2023, Creeperian Airlines services a total of 155 destinations across 27 countries in all three permanently inhabited continents. The airline almost exclusively operates international flights to Ecros and Ostlandet using wide-body airliners, meanwhile, it uses both narrow- and wide-body airliners on its international flights to other Surian countries. The airline primarily operates six hubs and has organized its routes as a hub-and-spoke model.
Creeperian Airlines does not offer services to countries such as New Illyricum, Sconia, Terranihil, and Zloveshchiy due to both geopolitical reasons and the airline being banned from flying in those countries' airspace. Such restrictions previously existed with Ajakanistan, but the airline opened its first route from Cámarillo to Zheleboksarsk in 2023 following the overthrow of Ajakanistan's communist government. Creeperian Airlines previously flew to Olèrdola in the Free Republic of Noundures, a Salisfordian separatist state, however, the airline terminated its service to Olèrdola after the Creeperian signed the Rubicon Agreement in 1976 to end the Rubicon War with Salisford.
Creeperian Airlines has codeshare agreements with the following airlines:
Fleet
As of December 2023, the Creeperian Airlines fleet consists of 310 aircraft, making it one of the largest airlines by fleet size in the world. All of Creeperian Airlines' current aircraft were manufactured by Maroto Botín; the airline is the launch customer and largest operator of many of Maroto Botín's airliner models. Creeperian Airlines is the only airline in the world whose fleet is primarily composed of trijets.
As of December 2023, Creeperian Airline's fleet has an average age of 14.5 years, one of the oldest among major international airlines; the fleet's oldest aircraft are its Maroto Botín MB-8-60s and Maroto Botín MB-11-20s which it plans to phase out by 2025 and 2032, respectively. The airline has placed orders for over 100 new aircraft to replace its aging fleet such as the Maroto Botín MB-9-60, the Maroto Botín MB-11-40, and the Maroto Botín MB-13-30.

Frequent-flyer program
Creeperian Airlines' frequent-flyer program is called "Imperial Wings". The frequent-fly program was established in 1986 and began offer points—referred to as "miles"—for the amount of miles a passenger travels per flight, however, in 1991, Imperial Wings changed its model to offer points for the amount of money a passenger spends per flight in an effort to eliminate loop holes in the previous system. Beginning in 2007, Imperial Wings also began awarding points to customers who utilize a Creeperian Airlines co-branded credit card. Imperial Wings points are also offered on all Creeperian Airlines Connect flights, are offered on most Lakefront Airlines and Southern Express flights, and are offered on select Salvadoran Airlines and Imperial Airlines flights through partnerships.
Imperial Wings consists of three classes of memberships—silver, gold, and platinum—with each increase class offering more amenities and rewards. Since 2010, Imperial Wings' points never expire. These points accumulate towards free awards such as tickets, Creeperian Airlines trading cards, class upgrades, and access to lounges at various airports both in and outside of Creeperopolis. Most lounges include a bar and a kitchen and are available to Imperial Wings gold and platinum members. San Salvador–Romero I contains 11 Imperial Wings lounges, the most of any airport. Other airports with multiple lounges include Adolfosburg–Adolfo III, Salvador–Alfonso I, Xichútepa, Chalatenango, Victoria, and Tuxtla Martínez/Panachor.
Imperial Wings is valued at ₵6.8 billion credits, making it one of Creeperian Airlines' most valuable assets.
