History
The Airline was founded in 1959 by James T Neilson, who operated a fleet of 32 aircraft beginning in 1959. It operated independantly until 1975 under the name "Neilson Airways", and at this time operation of the company became strained, and profits began to fall, and Neilson was forced to sell the company to the goverenment. To ensure his ability to dictate his role, he was guaranteed that he would stay the lines chairman, and that he would pick his replacement. Under this critera, the airline reopened routes in 1976, renamed Air Willink.
