Creeperian Airlines (Creeperian Spanish – Creeperian: Աերոլձնեաս Ծրեեպերիանո; Creeperian Spanish – Iberic: Aerolíneas Creeperiano; pronounced: [ae.ɾoˈli.ne.as cre.pe.ɾiˈa.no]; abbreviated as: AC) is the largest airline and the flag carrier of Creeperopolis. The airline is the largest Surian airline and one of the largest in the world.
As of 2020, the airline employs nearly 75,400 people. The airline also has a fleet of 224 aircraft, primarily of Maroto Botín small- and wide-body aircraft, and 150 destinations in 13 countries. The airline also carried 40,450,000 passengers in 2020. It operates out of three primary hubs, with San Salvador–Romero I being the largest, and three secondary hubs. The airline is headquartered at the San Salvador–Romero I international airport in San Salvador, San Salvador, Creeperopolis.
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 and was fully privatized in 1999. Creeperian Airlines was a founding member of the Sun Alliance. The airline has three subsidiaries: Creeperian Airlines Cargo (ACCAR), Creeperian Airlines Connect (ACCON), and Salvadoran Airlines (SA). The airline's slogan is Creeperopolis Closer.

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 Adolfo III Alexander Martínez Llachaumán 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 Ciutat dels Àngels, 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 Panachor, Zapatista.
Civil war-era
On 2 January 1933, the Creeperian Civil War erupted between two rival claimant governments: the Catholic Imperial Restoration Council (Romerists) and the National Council for Peace and Order (Miguelists). All of the aircraft of the airline were parked in Romerist held territory when the civil war erupted, and the Romerist Armed Forces took full advantage of the airline. The parties of the Creeperian Conservative Coalition, who previously opposed the airline, quickly supported its existence, while the People's Social Coalition, who previously supported the airline, quickly opposed its existence. The Romerists seized control of the airline and transferred it from government control to the control of the Romerist Air Force. The aircraft were used as transportation for Romerist military officials throughout the civil war.
During the civil war, the airline was renamed to National Imperial Airways (in Creeperian Spanish as Bías Aérea Imperial Nacional, abbreviated as BAIN). During the civil war, only two planes were damaged beyond repair, two Maroto Aircraft MA-2s, when they were caught in a bombing of the international airport in San Salvador during the siege of the city.

On 2 July 1950, the Creeperian Air Force returned control of the airline to the Creeperian government. The government merged the airline with the Atlántidan airline, International and Domestic Atlántidan Airways. The airline was renamed to the Air Transports of Creeperopolis and Atlántida (in Creeperian Spanish as Transportes Aéreas de Creeperópolis y Atlántida, abbreviated as TACA).
Privatization
On 15 September 1994, the airline was renamed to Creeperian Airlines (in Creeperian Spanish as Aerolíneas Creeperiano, abbreviated AC or ACR) and was completely privatized. The airline also opened a new hub in San Salvador at the now called Saint Romero I 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.
