Basic Information
Main Hub: Colbitz Sweet Lake International Airport
Secondary Hub: Strathmore-Palmona International Airport
Focus Cities: Indianapolis International Airport, Nyhaven International Airport

Fly Illu'a is a full service airline serving Illu'a, Lower Columbia, the United States, Canada, and select international routes. It was founded in 1990 by a group of executives. Some of them were former Illu'an Airways executives. Instead of competing with airlines in Strathmore-Palmona International, Fly Illu'a decided to make their main hub at an older airport in Colbitz - Sweet Lake International Airport.

In 1991, Fly Illu'a started scheduled flights using Boeing 737-200 aircraft. The original routes were domestic routes within Illu'a and a couple of flights to Lower Columbia. The network slowly expanded, with the airline purchasing Boeing 757-200 and 757-300 aircraft to handle flights to Canada, the contiguous United States, and Hawaii. In the late 90's, Fly Illu'a started phasing out their Boeing 737s with Airbus A320s. The last Boeing 737 was retired in 2003, after a last flight between Colbitz and Strathmore.

(This paragraph is still pending on woodb3kmaster approval)
In 2005, Fly Illu'a agreed to a code sharing agreement with ColumbiAir, allowing Fly Illu'a expansion into Nyhaven and Indianapolis. After a shift of A320 flights from short haul flights to longer flights to the US East Coast, Fly Illu'a purchased Embraer E-190 aircraft to fill in the domestic flight gap. Additional service was provided to destinations in Asia and Oceania in 2007 using newly purchased Airbus A330-200 aircraft.

In late 2009, Fly Illu'a announced that they will be setting up wi-fi in its new Embraer E-190 aircraft and its Airbus aircraft. By July 1, 2010, all Airbus and Embraer aircraft will have wi-FI installed, Fly Illu'a's own wi-fi service.

I don't think 757-300s can get you to Asia and Oceania...

Great job Cheeky/Razz suggest you a A330 for your Asian flights or bigga.

Yeah. I was thinking that I needed another plane. The people at CSGchat don't know much about planes and told me to use a Concorde with missing engines.

Edit: Updated.
