Gandhara Airways (Arabic: الخطوط الجوية الغانذاري, Al-Khuṭūṭ al-Jawwiyyah al-Gāndhāri) is the flag carrier airline of Gandhara, headquartered in Rhea. It operates domestic and international passenger and cargo services, mainly from its hub at Rhea International Airport.
History
On 31 January 1936, the company Airwork opened a new airline in Gandhara, named Gandhara Airwork. The ownership was split between the Gandhari Monetary Agency (52%), Airwork (40%), and private Gandhari investors (8%). Exclusivity of air transport operations was granted to the new company by the government, and the airline commenced operations in June 1936 with daily flights between Rhea and Port Eden, using de Havilland D.H.86 aircraft. A division of Gandhara Airwork, named Gandhara Airlines, was established in 1937.
In 1951, Gandhara Airwork was acquired by the Gandhari government. After the state of Gandhara became the sole shareholder, the company was renamed to Gandhara Airways. In the latter half of the 20th century, the company grew and became one of the largest airlines of Outernatia. Even though Gandhara Airways is a state-owned company, the company is self-financing without any financial backing by the Gandhari government.
