KandAireA Airlines is the flag carrier and primary airline of Kandara. Despite its national carrier status, it operates primarily as a low-cost carrier, focusing on budget-conscious inter-Audonian air travel. Known for its extremely low-ticket prices, KandAireA prioritizes cost-cutting measures, which have raised concerns about passenger safety and comfort. Its fleet is entirely second and third-hand and, in some cases, includes some airframes that have been deemed critically deficient by the Air Traffic Regulatory Organization (ARTO). KandAireA's status with the ATRO is often in a precarious state, with the organization frequently imposing restrictions or warnings on the airline's operations.
KandAireA's business model revolves around a "no-frills" approach, offering basic air transportation with minimal amenities. Passengers have limited legroom, basic seating, and no onboard services. While this keeps ticket prices low, it can lead to uncomfortable and sometimes unpleasant travel experiences. Despite this approach, KandAireA plays a crucial role in connecting low-income and developing Audonian destinations. It serves as a lifeline for many, particularly those who cannot afford the higher fares of full-service carriers, and has become a beltway for connecting unskilled labor with higher-paying jobs in other parts of the continent. While it has a terrible reputation in the Occidental world, it is viewed as a necessity in Audonia and as such, while it faces sanctions by the ATRO, it is often allowed to continue to maintain some level of legitimacy in the organization, as a necessary evil.
