This airline doesn't exist and is an elaborate scam. It has been caught stealing peoples' picture and putting it into a promotional poster in Facebook, it claims to have been flying Boeing 737-800s into multiple destinations in Asia but a quick search in FlightRadar 24 doesn't show such. It would benefit the whole country if this page is deleted, a lot of people are believing it.[citation needed]
