The Kupamacha Crisis of 2010

Apart from UTA and AirTerra, there were also 20 regional airlines which fell apart during the Kupamacha Crisis of 2010. Out of the twenty only six survivived. Nevertheless, the survivors had to merge to form NCPAir. Here we have brief descriptions of the former airlines. There is also [[TerraExpress] but it has it's own article. =Survivors of the Kupamacha Crisis=

UnitedTerra Mini Airlines
UnitedTerra Mini Airlines was formed in 2002 as the regional subsidary for UTA but was unsucessful and shut down. However some of the Directors revived the airline and once again, regional service once again began. UnitedTerra Mini Airlines was one of the earliest modern day UTR regional airlines. In 2003, service from it's hub at New Club Penguin. Although it wasn't sucessful as the bigger airlines, AirTerra and UTA, it did gain some profit and in 2004 became a low-fare airline. Profits increased at a rapid pace from 2006. It was the largest regional airline (except TerraExpress) but it had rivals - especially from Neo Domino Airways, Miniaire and PressAir. ChickAir and Satellite Airways was also round the corner. As a result, a further hub was established in Neo Domino City and two secondary hubs in Satellite City and Scoodlepeep. This had an affect on international flights to the USA but it helped UTR Mini Airlines get back on the road. From 2008 everything was perfect until 2010 where the cruel Kupamacha Crisis of 2010 struck hard at UTR Mini Airlines. All Kupamachas were scrapped with some going to museums. Despite being hardest hit it was one of the six survivors and met with the five other survivors to discuss the possibilities of a merge. UTR Mini Airlines was against it but soon had no choice and became NCPAir.

It's fleet had about 16 aircraft (excluding Kupamacha 220 - the reason for so many is that they only carry 30 passengers!) consisted of:


 * Fikker 100 (10)
 * Kupamacha 220 (60)
 * Labraer E-75 (6)

Neo Domino Airways
Neo Domino Airways was started in 2004 by the Mayor of Neo Domino City and private backers as a small regional airline of Neo Domino City. It was at the time where UnitedTerra Mini Airlines became low-fare, meaning that it had to start low-fare. Surprisingly, it did well in it's first year, with 53% perfering it to any other regional airline in Neo Domino City. In it's second year it didn't do as well with TerraExpress and UTR Mini Airlines making comeback. Nevertheless, it was still popular, even in some other cities and in 2006 it was one of the biggest rival to UTR Mini Airlines. In 2007, it scrapped it's low-fares and passengers slowly became less. However even more profit was made, a big shock to it's rivals. The airline's life is generally peaceful until 2010 when the crisis struck. It became NCPAir.

It's fleet (once again excluding Kupamacha) consisted of 23 aircraft, with the TAe 146s retired in 2008.


 * TAe 146 (13, retired in 2008)
 * Airhail A318 (10, became part of NCPAir)
 * Kupamacha 220 (46, scrapped or sold in 2010)
