Air Atlantic

Air Atlantic is one of Playmobil City's biggest transcontinental airlines. They have a total average of 177 flights a day.

History
Air Atlantic was originally launched as Atlantic Airways, a small regional airline that was never financially successful and began to collapse in 1999. The CEO of the recently formed Aero Line, meanwhile, saw great success with his airline, creating a parent company for it soon afterwards. He noticed the struggling Atlantic Airways, and quickly organized a purchase of it, along with the equally struggling Albatros Air Taxi Service, and announced a triple alliance for the airlines after the purchase went through on July 12, 1999.

With two more airlines in his grip, Ben began an overhaul in Atlantic's look and appeal. He changed its name to Air Atlantic, expanded its fleet size, refurbished its older aircraft, overhauled its branding, and appointed Atlantic Airways' founders Michael and David Parker to the position of CEO and executive officer, respectively.

In early August, Ben secured Atlantic's flight certificate, and advertised the relaunch extensively. The relaunch flight drew public interest in the airline massively, securing Air Atlantic's position as Playmboil City's second biggest airline.

Accidents and Incidents

 * August 14, 2000: While en-route to Zurich Int'l from Heathrow, the right engine of one of the airline's 717-200s, which was operating as Air Atlantic Flight 86, failed in a heavy thunderstorm unseen by the pilots. The hydraulics failed soon after due to a lightning strike, and the pilots struggled to keep the plane in the air for a short 5 and a half minutes until the plane finally crashed into a small forested area near the town, nearly missing a few cabins. Miraculously, no one was hurt.
 * June 14, 2002: A 717-100 operating as Air Atlantic Flight 9537 crashed upon landing at LaGuardia Int'l due to failure of the elevators. The jet slammed into the runway and the gear collapsed, only intensifying the impact, and killing 1 passenger on board.
 * July 14, 2002: Air Atlantic Flight 168, a 717-100, crash-landed in a field after it's co-pilot fainted in the cockpit and accidentally moved the yoke down with her body, sending it into a dive until the pilot moved her body. The 106 degree heat caused a heat stroke for the co-pilot, causing her to melt slightly. She was treated and released two weeks later.
