Creeperian Airlines (Creeperian Spanish: Aerolíneas Creeperiano, abbreviated: AC) is a major Creeperian airline headquartered in San Salvador, San Salvador, Creeperopolis. The airline serves as Creeperopolis' flag carrier. Creeperian Airlines operates out of 4 hubs, with San Salvador-Romero I being its largest. As of 2019, the airline employs nearly 75,400 people. It is one of the world's largest airlines and it is a founding member of the Sun Alliance.
The airline in its current form was formed as a merger of several airlines from Creeperopolis and the former nations of Atlántida and Castilliano in 1950, but the original airline was founded in 1931 as a government owned airline. The airline has gone through several name changes over its history.

History
Establishment
On 13 June 1931, the Parliament of Creeperopolis passed the National Airline Establishment Act by a margin of 57–43. The act was supported by the People's Social Coalition parties of the Creeperian Socialist Party and the National Liberal Party, and the Creeperian Conservative Coalition party, the National Conservative Party. It was opposed by the Catholic Royalist Party, the Creeperian Social Communist Party, and the Creeperian Pro-Fatherland Front.
The act mandated the establishment of the new airline within the month and that it would be government owned. On 18 June 1931, the airline was founded under the name of Creeperian Domestic and International Airway Systems (in Creeperian Spanish as Sistemas de'bía Aérea Nacionales y Internacionales Creeperiano, abbreviated SANIC) The government supplied the airline ten Maroto Aircraft MA-2's and two Botín Aircraft BA-101's. The airline commenced operations on 15 September 1931 and its inaugural flight, Flight 1, was a short flight from San Salvador International Airport (now called Miguel Martín Cabañeras Gutiérrez International Airport) to Adolfosburg International Airport (now called Emperor Adolfo III Alexander Martínez Schuessler International Airport).
The airline only operated domestically until 18 October 1932 when the first international route was established from Adolfosburg, Creeperopolis, to Victoria, Atlántida. Another route, between Santa Ana, Creeperopolis, and Ciudad Los'Ángeles, El Salvador, was established on 29 October 1932. The airline had trouble expanding due to the National Conservative Party's refusal to finance the airline, leaving the Prime Minister, Tobías Gaos Nores, and then later Jorge Meléndez Ramírez, to mostly fund the airline out of pocket or from civilian donations.
On 14 June 1932, a scandal was revealed that Gaos Nores had illegally stolen money from the National Treasury and that the Minister of Treasury, José Pardo Barreda, had turned a blind eye to the ordeal. In what became known as the Gaos-Pardo Affair, Gaos Nores died of Creeperian Malaria on 17 July 1932, though his opponents claim that he committed suicide, and Pardo Barreda was impeached on 24 July 1932, but he was acquitted by the High Court on 3 September 1932. He was later assassinated by the Camisas Negras on 14 June 1934 in Zapatista.
Civil war-era
When the Creeperian Civil War erupted in January 1933, the Romerist government retained control of the airline with the fleet intact in San Salvador's Miguel Cabañeras Gutiérrez International Airport. Control of the airline was handed to the Romerist Creeperian Air Force so the fleet can be used to transport Romerist soldiers to the front lines. The airport itself was also turned into a Romerist air force base for the duration of the war.
The military ran the airline from 1933 up until 1951. While the military controlled SANIC, the name was changed to Creeperian National Romerist Airways (Bías Aérea Romerista Nacional Creeperiano, abbreviated BARONAC).
Post-civil war, Pre-SRX
The military handed over control of BARONAC to the victorious Romerist government in July 1951 and the airline returned to commercial passenger service. The government would fully operate the airline from 1951 to 1973. The airline was renamed to Creeperian Airways (Bías Aérea Creeperiano, abbreviated BAC) in 1952.
Post-SRA and privatization
In 1973, the airline was renamed to Creeperian Airlines (Aerolíneas Creeperiano, abbreviated AC or ACR) and was completely privatized. The airline also opened a new hub in San Salvador at the now called Emperor Saint Romero I Adolfo Martínez Galdámez International Airport, it's main hub today.
In 1999, Creeperian Airlines joined the Sun Alliance and was 100% privatized.
Creeperian Airlines' fleet has been funded mostly by the Maroto Aircraft and Botín Aircraft companies until the two companies merged to form Maroto Botín, where the airline continues to purchase the vast majority of their aircraft.
