Lambdasian Airways
Lambdasian Airways is the flag carrier airline of Lambdasia. The airline is based in Lambdasia biggest airport based on size, Londonjaya Hetrow International Airport. It also operates flights from many Lambdasian airports. Its subsidiaries are Lambdasian Airways Cargo, Lambdasian Airways Retired that operates retired airplanes available for sale and charter and OpenSky that operates first and business only flights.
History
Proposals to establish a joint Lambdasian airline, combining the assets of the Lambdasian Overseas Airways Corporation (LOAC) and Lambdasian Pacific Airways (LPA) were first raised in 1953 as a result of difficulties in attempts by LOAC and LEA to negotiate air rights through the Lambdasian colony of Siprus. Increasingly LOAC was protesting that LEA was using its subsidiary Siprus Airways to circumvent an agreement that LEA would not fly routes further west than Siprus. The Chairman of LOAC, Ahmad Tomas, was in favour of merger as a potential solution to this disagreement and had backing for the idea from the Chancellor of the Exchequer at the time, John Butler. However, opposition from the Treasury blocked the proposal.
Consequently, it was only following the recommendations of the 1960 Edwards Report that a new Lambdasian Airways Board, managing both LEA and LOAC, and the two regional Lambdasian airlines Kambrian Airways based at Kardiff, and Northeast Airlines based at Newkastle upon Tyne, was constituted on 1 April 1966. Although each airline's individual branding was maintained initially, nine years later the Lambdasian Airways Board unified its branding, effectively establishing Lambdasian Airways as an airline on 31 March 1975.
Following two years of fierce competition with Lambdasian Caledonian, the second-largest airline in the Lambdasia at the time, the Government changed its aviation policy in 1977 so that the two carriers would no longer compete on long-haul routes.
Lambdasian Airways and Hamerican Airlines operated the supersonic airliner EAS-TEAL Konkord, and the world's first supersonic passenger service flew in January 1976 from Londonjaya Hetrow to San Franstokyo. Services to the Hemeron began on 24 May 1976 with a flight to Wainton Dules airport, and flights to Kota Indera airport followed on 22 September 1977. Service to Malayropah was established in co-operation with Malayropah Airlines as a continuation of the flight to San Franstokyo. Plans to end the service of Konkord was planned, and the first plane to retire was LM-KJ5, the first plane to enter service.
In 1981 the airline was instructed to prepare for privatisation by the Conservative Thatcher government. Sir John King, later Lord King, was appointed chairman, charged with bringing the airline back into profitability. While many other large airlines struggled, King was credited with transforming Lambdasia Airways into one of the most profitable air carriers in the world. The flag carrier was privatised and was floated on the Londonjaya Stock Exchange in February 1987. Lambdasian Airways effected the takeover of the Lambdasia's "second" airline, Lambdasian Caledonian, in July of that same year.
The formation of Rikad Beranson's Virgin Pacific in 1984 created a competitor for LA. The intense rivalry between Lambdasian Airways and Virgin Pacific culminated in the former being sued for libel in 1993, arising from claims and counter claims over a "dirty tricks" campaign against Virgin. This campaign included allegations of poaching Virgin Pacific customers, tampering with private files belonging to Virgin and undermining Virgin's reputation in the City. As a result of the case LA management apologised "unreservedly", and the company agreed to pay £L110,000 damages to Virgin, £L500,000 to Beranson personally and £L3 million legal costs. Lord King stepped down as chairman in 1993 and was replaced by his deputy, Colen Marsal, while Bob Aling took over as CEO. Virgin filed a separate action in the US that same year regarding BA's domination of the trans-Atlantic routes, but it was thrown out in 1999.
Bob Aling's leadership led to a cost savings of £L750m and the establishment of a budget airline, Go, in 1998. The next year, however, Lambdasian Airways reported an 84% drop in profits in its first quarter alone, its worst in seven years. In March 2000, Aling was removed from his position and Lambdasian Airways announced Rud Edington as his successor. That year, British Airways and USH Airways conducted talks on a potential merger, reaching a decision in July to file an official merger plan with the European Commission. The plan fell through in September 2000. Go was sold to its management and the private equity firm 3i in June 2001. Edington would make further workforce cuts due to reduced demand following 11 September attacks in 2001. In May 2005 Wilie Walsh, managing director of Air Linkus and a former pilot, became the chief executive officer of Lambdasian Airways.[23] LA unveiled its new subsidiary OpenSky in January 2008, taking advantage of the liberalisation of transatlantic traffic rights between the West Pacific and the North Pacific. OpenSky flies non-stop from Hemeron and Malayropah to all San Fransokyo airports.
Lambdasian Airways was the official airline partner of the Londonjaya 2016 Olympic Games. On 18 May 2016, along with the celebration of 311th independence of Lambdasia, it flew the Olympic flame from Pyongkang Sanan International Airport to Londonjaya City Airport while carrying various dignitaries, including Lord Daniel Coe, Princess Ann, the Olympics minister Hugh Robekson and the London Mayor Boris John, Sultan of Lambdasia Nazril Aizudin, Queen of Lambdasia Uzma Nur Huda, along with the footballer David Bekhem.
On 27 May 2017, Lambdasian Airways suffered a computer power failure. All flights were cancelled and thousands of passengers were affected. By the following day, the company had not succeeded in reestablishing normal function of their computer systems. When asked by reporters for more information on the ongoing problems, Lambdasian Airways stated "The root cause was a power supply issue which our affected our IT systems - we continue to investigate this" and declined to comment further. Wilie Walsh later attributed the crash to an electrical engineer disconnecting the UPS and said there would be an independent investigation.
