Confederation Air is the flag carrier of Aslana and Praeteria. It was founded in 1961.

History
Confederation Air was founded under the North Aslana Aviation Development Act of 1958, taking effect in 1959. The act pushed for the creation of 2 hub airports, an overhaul of the North Aslanian Air Force, and a flag carrier airline. Randy Palsham, assistant director of the North Aslanian Aviation Bureau, was appointed as new CEO of North Aslana Air Lines, the former name of Confederation Air.

In 1961, Randy placed an order of 15 707-120 aircraft from Boeing. That same year, New Pacifica International Airport opened in October of 1962, with Terminal 1 designated as the international terminal and Terminal 2 designated as the domestic terminal, and two runways for plane use.

The aircraft were ready for service by November of 1961, just in time for the Christmas travel season. During that time, the airline reached max capacity in just one week and another 15 Boeing 707-120 aircraft were ordered, arriving and ready for service by December.

In 1980, the airline ordered 20 Douglas DC-10-30 aircraft. They outfitted the new aircraft and their existing long-range aircraft with first class. The very next year, the airline ordered 15 more DC-10-30 aircraft. The airline had been growing in recent years, becoming a dominating force in the industry.
