GC Air

GC Air is a Grasslandic cargo airline based in Outer Grassland County, Grassland. The airline was founded in 1987 by Jan Koepl, the founder of

Grasscargo after his brother, Willem Koepl, accepted a request by Air Grassland to buy a majority shareholding in Grasscargo.

Grasscargo
In 1974, Jan Koepl bought 2 Cessna 150s and 1 Cessna 172 and founded Grasscargo, operating as a regional airline. Later, he bought some DC-8s. He was asked many times by Air Grassland for Air Grassland to buy Grasscargo. In 1984 his brother accepted a request by Air Grassland to buy a major shareholding of the airline, which had become one of the largest cargo airlines in Grassland, even bigger than Air Grassland's cargo division. Jan fired his brother and left the airline, along with some of his co-workers.

Grass Cargo Airlines and struggles to start operations
In 1987, they founded Grass Cargo Air with the callsign "NEW GRASSCARGO" and it was to start operations by the 1st of February, using a Cessna 172 that Jan owned, but Air Grassland stopped the airline from operating because it infringed on Air Grassland copyright on the name of the original Grasscargo (which by then was fully owned by Air Grassland). They were forced to change the name to GC Air and their callsign to "GOLF CHARLIE AIR" (Golf and Charlie being the NATO phonetic words for G and C respectively) They managed to start operations only a few days after this name change, using the same livery, with the painting over of the rest of the name clearly visible.

The first flight, GC Air Flight 1, from Kopltinne Airport to Grassland City airport, was a repositioning flight.
