== History ==
===Establishment (1934-1949)===
Cynetian Air was founded as Cynetian Airways by Loma R. Mendel in Drivore, initially as a private passenger service for his family and friends. Finding it hard to maintain funding for the service, he started opening the airline in 1934 to public passengers and made it a company.
===1950s===
In 1959, Cynetian Air received its first ever passenger jet, nicknamed "Sky Hawk". Sky Hawk is now on display in the Cynetian National Air Museum in Riverton.
===1960s===
===1970s===
===1980s===
===1990s===
In 1990, Cynetian Airways bought Cynetian Air Express. They operated as separate airlines under the same group. Not long after, in January 1993, the company bought Eastern Cynetia Air.
===2000s ===
In 2005, Cynetian Air Express completely merged with Cynetian Airways, forming Cynetian Air.
=== 2010s===
=== 2020s===
On July 13th, 2022, after nearly 47 years, Cynetian Air resumed service with Kelovia starting with a celebratory flight to Neicrava. Flights to Kabir continued the following November.

==Accidents and Incidents==
*On May 3rd, 1972, Cynetian Air Express Flight 344 was operating from Matoria City International Airport to Silivola State Airport. After the flight took off, a passenger started screaming erratically about hijackers and bombs, eventually banging on the cockpit door and yelling "Let me save the plane". Flight attendants restrained him to which he responded violently. Other passengers jumped in and subdued him as the flight returned to Matoria City. The man died from asphyxiation.
*On December 10th, 1975, Cynetian Airways Flight 775 was operating a flight from a stopover Los Santos International Airport in Menneria to Kabir International Airport in Kelovia, originating from Drivore International Airport. Much of the passengers on board where Masa, getting around Mastistan's ban on direct flights from Mastistan to Kelovia. Over Central Kelovia, the edge of the plane's wing was damaged by a shooter from the ground, which made it significantly harder to control. The plane banked violently as the pilots struggled to land the plane. They attempted to turn into Biutriura International Airport, but instead crashed into an empty field outside the city, killing 64 of the 120 passengers and three of the five crew. This incident prompted Cynetian Airways to terminate their services to Kelovia. The government denied involvement in the shootdown of the plane and instead suggested that the perpetrator was likely an "outsider terrorist". The perpetrator was later found to be Gegrek Mouna, a member of the violent extremist group, Liberate Kelovia. He was arrested in 1979, and his arrest prompted a wide search in surrounding countries for other members from Liberate Kelovia. Kelovia itself simply stated that the government was in "no place to condone violence towards foreigners". Kelovian residents, Cynetian Airways representatives, and other parties criticized Kelovia for their lackluster response.
* On February 27th, 1981, Cynetian Airways Flight 996 was departing from Kindport International Airport en route to Nourimora Bona Tahit International Airport in the Cyan Islands. The plane had 236 passengers and six crew. While preparing to land in Nourimora, the plane suffered engine failure in a heavy storm around the islands. The pilots declared an emergency with medical and fire crews being deployed at Nourimora in preparation. The plane successfully landed on the runway but had a hard time slowing down and skidded onto the grass beside it, where the nose gear collapsed. Out of the people on board, four crew members reported injuries, as did 17 passengers. The only serious injury was the first officer, who struck his head on the final impact. The cause of the crash was found to be improper maintenance and severe weather not detected by radars and reports in time.
*On May 24th, 1982, Cynetian Air Express Flight 1686 was heading from Kelau Mouna International Airport in Nurbai, Menneria to Matoria City International Airport. The plane was only carrying 36 passengers and six crew. Suddenly, just after lifting off of the runway, the plane fell to the ground and broke on impact, killing three crew and five passengers. Two more passengers were killed by the fire that engulfed the plane following the crash. The cause of the crash was determined to be the fact that the pilots ran into a rare microburst that happened to be on the end of the runway, which pushed the plane downwards as it was barely above the ground. Pictures of the wreckage quickly surfaced and changes were made to detect microbursts more effectively.
*On June 4th, 1985, Cynetian Airways Flight 1242 was heading from Eagleton-Westdale International Airport in Westdale, Menneria to Drivore International Airport. As the plane was flying near the border, an unexpected storm started to form in the area before the pilots could be warned. The plane then fell into a steep dive in northern Cynetia, close to the border. All 208 passengers and nine crew on board were killed, making this the worst disaster under Cynetian Airways. The plane's crash was determined to be engine failure due to the hail in the storm. The rudders and elevators on the plane were also very old and somewhat faulty. On top of that, the pilots had inadequate training to deal with such a situation. Investigators from Cynetia and Menneria scrutinized Cynetian Airways and demanded more effective training and maintenance, but also called for airlines and weather services around the world to improve their response to bad weather.
*On April 7th, 1991, Cynetian Air Express Flight 103 took off from Drivore International Airport en route to Kindport International Airport and struck a man who trespassed onto the runway, killing him.
*On October 9th, 1992, Cynetian Airways Flight 145 was heading from Drivore International Airport to Mastistan International Capital Airport in Jesova, Mastistan with 128 people on board. Another plane, a private plane with just six on board was heading from Iles International Airport in Iles, Mastistan to Drivore International Airport. Above Eastern Cynetia, the paths of the two aircraft collided, but neither plane knew the other was coming, and air traffic control was unable to communicate in the middle of each flight and no pilot knew it. In an unusual fog, the small plane punctured the left wing of the larger aircraft. The small plane was sent diving downwards, and it crashed into a field miles east of Ladin, killing all six. Meanwhile, the larger plane and its pilots were having a hard time trying to keep the plane safe and ready to land. For a long yet steady amount of time, the plane miraculously stayed afloat, but unfortunately, it crashed into the mountains of Western Mastistan, killing three crew members and 68 passengers. Since then, airport radars have been heavily improved, and so have general air traffic control systems.
*On June 29th, 1995, Cynetian Airways Flight 660 was waiting on a taxiway preparing to take off on runway 25R at Camden-Westbridge International Airport in Anglia, preparing to head to Drivore International Airport. At the same time, Air Anglia Flight 789 was landing from Boonward International Airport in Manteriba on runway 25L. Cynetian Airways Flight 660 went across the taxiway and Air Anglia Flight 789 came within fifteen feet of collision. Cynetian Airways Flight 660 was delayed several hours due to an intense rain and hail storm in the direction of Drivore. The Cynetian Airways pilots were fired after the incident.
*On January 13th, 2004, Cynetian Air Express Flight 3090 was heading from Greater Drivore to Preston in Menneria. The aircraft involved was CT-CX22, a Placerjet-80D delivered to Cynetian Air Express on December 18th, 2001. As it was nearing Preston in the early morning, a heavy storm rolled in. The plane slowed down to prepare for landing but it slowed down too much. The stall warning came on, but it wasn't enough as the plane started falling out of the sky. The pilots panicked and swerved the plane in different directions as they were trying to recover its speed. They recovered in a hailstorm, where the force of the hail started to bring the plane down again. The plane recovered just short of a field before crashing into a nearby hillside. The captain, first officer, engineer, and a jumpseating pilot all died in the crash, as did 23 of the 120 passengers. They found first that was the air speed indicator faulty. The plane had an overspeed warning on the way out of Riverton before the captain corrected its speed. The captain also had insufficient flight testing. He had a tendency to panic when faced with warnings or dangerous situations and seemed to lose any sense of what to do. Regardless, the airline hired him. Cynetian Air Express and Cynetian Airways were scrutinized after the crash for hiring the captain.
*On August 26th, 2013, a parked Cynetian Air plane, a Kaitak-250 registered as CT-CA32, caught fire at the Matoria City International Airport. There were no fatalities and the only injuries were from firefighters. The plane's mismanaged electrical systems were overheating throughout the day and set the aircraft ablaze. It was declared a hull loss and was written off.
*On April 11th, 2015, Cynetian Air Flight 2092 was departing from Jesova International Airport and preparing to land at Kindport International Airport when the plane was angled downward instead of upward onto the runway. This caused the nose gear to break and pressure was put on the back landing gear. The plane skid down the runway with all 85 passengers and 4 crew on board. The front section was notably damaged and everyone on board had to evacuate due to the risk of fire. Passengers struggled to get out an 82-year-old man who appeared unresponsive due to the impact of the flight. Three of the four crew were injured as were ten passengers, and the elderly man died of his injuries in the hospital. This was the only fatal incident on a Cynetian airline since 2004. The determined cause of the incident was pilot fatigue.
*On July 16th, 2023, a man trespassed the runway at the Drivore International Airport and attempted to climb onto the wing of Cynetian Air Flight 504 intended to head to Thomas R. Schneedly International Airport in New Stafford, Menneria. He was arrested by airport security and was found with a hammer in possession. The man, identified as 23-year-old Morli Simmons, was under the influence and claimed he wanted to steal the airplane by breaking through its windows. The flight was delayed for two hours while the incident was being examined, but the flight took off without further incident.
