## History

APR was founded by Knuckle Bine and Shoot MacMahon. It started off with a few blimps and then started using Jet-Powered planes. Knuckle was a user of Nen, and used his Nen to help fly the planes. He soon hired some Contract Hunters to work for him, and the airline grew. APR is the only airline that uses Nen to fly. The pilot uses Nen on the plane when taking off, giving it an indestructible outer plane. APR has been so successful with this Nen flying technique, they don't even need an autopilot. Because of APR's indestructible and fast flying technique, latest technology jets, and superior pilots, they quickly became the national airline of Hunter X Hunter. They have hubs in major cities like Yorknew and Glam Gas. Soon, Knuckle decided to retire. Bob Switz, hearing that one famous APR customer had a set of Scarlet Eyes decided to apply as CEO. He won Knuckle's favor by hearing that he knew Gon Freccss and his great great great great great great grandfather, and became the new CEO of APR Airlines. Kilu-Sicarr Zoldyck, who was looking for a job because of boredom, decided to apply as Chairman. He succeeded, and now shares the command over APR Airlines with Bob. APR is currently owned wholly by the APR-KiteAir Holdings group. APR is due to retire ALL of its Airbus A319's and Airbus A320's by 2020, to be replaced by the 737 MAX 8 and the 737 MAX 9. APR Airlines has also recently cancelled all orders for the Airbus A321, and replaced them with orders of the 737 MAX 8 and 737 MAX 9.

## Merger

APR Airlines has merged with partner airline KiteAir and is now sporting a new livery. The new livery was designed by chairman Kilu-Sicarr Zoldyck of both airlines. The new livery replaces KiteAir's *American Type Standard* font with the new *Trattatello* font along with a new APR logo model, and a darker shade of blue. APR and KiteAir started merger talks due to having the same chairman. Merger talks started two years after Knuckle Bine, APR's founder retired. KiteAir's Founder and CEO at that time, Kite, decided to try to merge with APR. However, these talks were short lived, as Kite was killed by a horror before he was reborn. APR's new Chairman and CEO of KiteAir restarted merger talks. APR and KiteAir have now completely merged, in which they have combined operations and hubs. The merger started as both airlines operating as two separate airlines, then they combined into a single airline. The two companies have already formed a single parent company, APR-KiteAir Holdings. The merger was completed at 3:00 PST with KiteAir's final flight from Padokea to Yorknew.

## Accidents and Incidents

APR, as the best airline of Hunter X Hunter, has only some accidents.

**APR 203:**

During the Chimera Ant war, a Chimera Ant disguised as a human tourist going to the NGL boarded APR Airlines Flight 203 to the NGL via the Republic of Rokario. Secretly armed with bomb, it passed through and onto the plane without a trace. Then, during the flight he stormed the cockpit, ate the pilot, strapped the bomb to the co-pilot and activated it. The aircraft, a 2 year old Boeing 707 was obliterated immediately.

**APR 1088:**

This incident was because the pilot had mental depression before the flight, and had to be removed by force. Not our fault, people.
