History

In the early 1980s, the Gandhara Aviation Group planned to set up a department of the Gandhari airline Gandhara Airways in the Land of Jhe Freeh. Plans were changed and a new airline was established, after approval was given by the local government. Freehan Airways was established on 28 February 1982, and the airline commenced operations in August 1982 with flights between Endehó and Rhea.

Freehan Airways started with eight wet leased McDonnell Douglas DC-9-51 aircraft from Gandhara Airways. The airline grew rapidly during the early years, with new destinations being added and ten Boeing 737-300 aircraft being ordered in 1985.

The 1990s were under the sign of cooperation and alliances. Freehan Airways closely cooperated with its sister company Gandhara Airways, and entered into alliances with Lettucian Airlines and Rainfall Airways. It was also a time of quick expansion in long-haul flights, with flights to Tikata and Tonallán.

Freehan Airways grew into the largest airline of the Land of Jhe Freeh and one of the largest airlines of Outernatia. On 27 February 2018, the airline became a subsidiary of the Transoceanic Aviation Group, a holding company under Gandhari law and the largest airline group in Outernatia.

Destinations

As of August 2017, Freehan Airways serves 136 destinations: 5 domestic destinations, and 131 international destinations across Aurora, Internatia, and Outernatia.
