Air Crona was an Arcerion-owned passenger and cargo airline established in 1956 and covertly owned and operated by the Office of Public Safety and National Security from 1957-1988. It provided support via covert and clandestine means to operations in South Crona and across Ixnay, including special activities in numerous Cronan nations such as Washakara, Istrenya, and Porlos.
Early History
The airline was created shortly after the establishment of the OPSNS, although until the early 1980s no official linkage was proven. It was constructed as a method to insert and extract secret operatives and intelligence teams across Crona for the purposes of assisting the OPSNS conduct missions in support of the Confederate Parliament. It's first major operations were inserting multiple teams of special forces and intelligence agents from the Special Arcer Service Regiment and agents from the OPSNS' Operations Directorate during the 1959 Istrenyan Civil Crisis.
Towards the end of the conflict, Air Crona began to incorporate the use of helicopters and a limited amount of wide-body airliners to help smuggle weapons and aid to the Nationalist rebels fighting against the syndicalist and communist forces in Istrenya. During this time Air Crona had several incidents at small rural airstrips and smaller regional or provincial airports, as with the waning ability of the Nationalist forces to fight Air Crona was also involved with the evacuation of Arcer citizens and other Occidentals from the country.
