History[]
The airline,which began as a proposed service to the Fernland Islands in 2002, by Antarctic-born lawyer Kingsley Levy,and former Sealand Airways pilot, Jeffery Michaels. The airline was to provide service to the Fernland Islands, but due to a shortage of runway length, it was eventually cancelled.Both Levy and Michaels wanted to start service from Gatrick Airport in New Club Penguin.They applied for a gate rental at South Pole City Airstrip (now South Pole City-Orion Freddy Regional Airport), but was turned down by most government officials.Then after,the airline applied for Blizzardville International Airport,which was approved. Although receiving harsh competition from no-frills airline PenguinExpress.In 2003, the airline expanded operations to Polaris, Newton Town, and Gemini. Polaris-City Airport later became a small focus city, and is the only one outside of Terrain soil.In 2005, operations expanded even further with the introduction of new aircraft,new gates, new service, new destinations and new management. The original owners were bought by Orbit, who sold 49% of the airline to Margate Antarctic Airlines, who then sold it to Terrain Aviation Holdings. The airline also faces fierce competition from UTA. During the mid-2000s, 30% of the fleet was taken out of service and re-painted with the words "No UTA/CPA", after merger talks between Club Penguin AirFlights and UTA started.The airline is continuing to expand and grow, and is one of the best airlines, according to SkyTracks airline rating guide
Rivalry with UTA[]
Ever since the airline began operating, UTA has opposed their actions, and voted against them. UTA is the largest carrier in the UnitedTerra,and surpasses both AirTerra and Orbit Oceanic Airways. UTA has stated that Orbit Oceanic Airways is one of the most "unworthy to fly" airlines. But, airline critics and regular passengers say the opposite, UTA is the worst airline that loses baggage, with 167,000 or so pieces of luggage missing every six months. Compared to OOA at only 30,000 per year. UTA is rated worse than OOA, in most criteria. UTA has comdemned the NO WAY UTA/CPA scheme, which it declares offensive and demaning to the airline.
