History[]
A penguin, named Jack Kingston, wanted to provide, low-cost domestic travel to the citizens of the USA, by forming the airline in 2001, with 1 leased Snowing 737-300, the airline operated services around Eastshield from South Pole Airstrip. The airline was very popular amongst businessmen, families and many other penguins as well. In 2002, the airline ordered many Snowing 737-800s and about 4 Airhail A320-500s. Also, several Boeing 747s were ordered for it's cargo fleet. The airline was once sued by Club Penguin AirFlights, and Air Antarctic, to keep the airline on the ground. This was taken to a court, in which a 1 year legal battle started, with the airline winning the rights to fly in the country. The airline started service around the country and was very pleasing to many. In 2007, the airline moved hub operations temporarily to Polaris International Airport, due to the closing of the South Pole Airstrip and also began international flights. In 2009, the airline re-started service at South Pole City International Airport, but then moved to Blizzardville International Airport, and moved hub operations there in 2010.
