Eule Fluglinien is the largest Mikitivity airline company, known for its large and active airship fleet. Due to the high costs of airfare into Mikitivity, most direct flights to many Mikitivity destinations pass through Eule Fluglinien's hub at Flughafen Biberwiesen just outside of Miervatia City. Although the airlines provides daily service to several destinations in the International Democratic Union, privately charter diplomatic flights are frequently booked for special destinations.

History

The airlines is named after the well liked Miervatian Burrowing Owls. The company was founded in 1917 with two headquarters, one in Miervatia City and the second in St. Claire, by Henrich Weiss and Marcus Winters. Two years before founding Eule Fluglinien with Winters, Weiss had a small air courier company, Weiss Post, that would fly important business documents and on rare occasions chartered flights for businessmen whom had to cross the Thuvians in order to make it to multiple meetings in the same day. By partnering with Winters, Weiss Post's occasional passenger flights were broken off to a weekly flight from St. Claire to Miervatia City and back on a small 12-passenger airship.

Strong and unpredictable winds in the Thuvian mountains made trips via airship much safer than flight in an airplane. Though expensive compared to trips from Miervatia City to other Mikitivity destinations via Mikitivity Bahn, Eule Fluglinien was able to provide faster service over the Thuvians to towns in eastern Mikitivity. In winter, rail delays due to heavy snowfall or bridge repair also helped to fuel popularity in business class airtravel. By 1920 Eule Fluglinien was offering daily flights to multiple throughout Mikitivity.

With the rise of fixed wing aircraft in the 1930s, Eule Fluglinien struggled to compete with foreign airlines that were also providing service to Miervatia City. During this time, Eule Fluglinien partnered with Mikitivity Bahn to encourage international travelers to fly on its airships to Mikitivity and then take advantage of Thuvian Luft Rail passes that offered huge discounts to rail travel on Mikitivity Bahn. The airlines also began advertising itself as the best way to experience and see the mountains. Flights out of Miervatia City would hug close to the mountains and take courses over the glaciers, earning the airlines an international reputation as being a luxury airlines. The dinning facilities on Eule Fluglinien airships rivaled those of some of the most expensive resteruants in the International Democratic Union.

When Mikitivity entered the modern day olympics in 2006, Eule Fluglinien and Mikitivity Bahn offered to provide free transportation to any International Democratic Union athelete traveling to and from the First Summer Olympic games in Asford, Casari on their new Olympic Carrier airship. Though atheletes would fly free, the incentive in this service was that Eule Fluglinien would sell tickets to International Democratic Union passengers also wishing to travel to the games for a non-stop flight where they could dine and chat with the atheletes. The Bears Armed olympic team joined the Mikitivity team to take advantage of this service.
