Overview
Paradise Air was founded in 2014 by Akira Kogami (akirakagami) and is the successor to SL Aloha Airlines. Paradise Air was based in Cheerport Intermodal Airport and offered flights to major airports around the grid. The airline strived to provide the best quality service in Second Life, with kind caring staff and small details from boarding passes and safety cards to realistic airline announcements. Paradise Air operated on a “pay what you want” system; encouraging satisfied customers to tip. The airline became inactive circa early 2015.
Paradise Air is set to make a return by the first quarter of 2020 with all new branding and fleet.
