An example of Air Kaenei Livery. |
Gravports, Facilities & Routes
Air Kaenei's central administrational, logistical and training centre is located at Solarri International Gravport, the largest such facility for aerospace, aircraft, and gravcraft vessels in the entirety of the Union and the only facility sanctioned by the Office for Foreign and Extra-Solar Affairs on behalf of The Aengelistoria Dominica as an official Point of Entry for individuals entering or leaving Kaenei.
Air Kaenei also maintains sizable gravports known as Primary Nodes in each Province, located as closely to the capital cities of said Provinces as is feasable and safe, and creating the primary routes which make up the bulk of gross passenger numbers. From each of these Primary Nodes and serving the lesser populated, and more isolated Provincial communities are Secondary Nodes; smaller facilities with less scope for handling the larger vessels yet flexible enough to ensure that any Kaeneian citizen requiring to cross the territories of the Union can find a route to satisfy.
Air Kaenei do as a matter of record, maintain facilities for the collecting of tickets for non-Kaeneians wishing to visit the Serene^Union and readily have routes from Titan, The Ring of Powerfulness, Europa and Mars; pending completion of satisfactory security and visa-related checks which must be successfully passed in order to obtain tickets, the outlets are traditionally merged with the local Kaeneian Supreme-Consulate, rather than stand-alone.
The Air Kaenei Fleet
The gravitic craft of choice for Air Kaenei is currently the DSAD-800 Gravliner; manufactured by the Department Scientia's Aerospace Engineering Directorate (AED). In standard configuration the vessel carries eight hundred passengers in a single class, with sufficient holds to allow for twelve thousand cubic square feet of cargo and luggage. Each craft is fitted with a standard Kaeneian Electronic Intelligence to supplement the three flight crew onboard, functioning essentially as a highly-skilled and capable autopilot.
