Alliances and Partnerships[]

Commercial[]

On June of 2020 Floridana Airways took its first steps in the commercial virtual world of collaboration between alliances and airlines making its entry a few days after the creating the now defunct FlyRoute Alliance till its collapse on October of 2020. First partnerships such as Vougair, Rocky Mountain and Tanzanite to start off the new journey with more experienced airlines in the sector of the market for the exponential growth in the future of the airline. Right after the fall of FlyRoute Flroidana joined another alliance in which they joined on October of 2020, Skywayz Alliance.

New subsidiaries start to come up in the whole time of the existence of Floridana. The first off with Floridana Cargo with a fleet of 22 Boeing 747-8F and 12 Boeing 777F. Later on Aer Liechtenstein was founded for the principle of expansion in Europe for low but high class flying on short haul hops all over Europe and Northern Africa with smaller Airbus A220 series aircraft. Hokkaido came next in late winter of 2021 for the main goal of Asia due to the range problems that Floridana has since it is based in Miami, nearly the opposite side of the world. Later came Cabo Verde Airways for the better more influential connection in the African continent due to the very huge lack of connections between Miami and the African continent with just Floridana and also in real life with Royal Air Maroc. The most recent subsidiary airline is Aerolinee Siciliane, more for the summer tourist periods or during the winter for travelling with the fleet of just being of Airbus A319neo's and Airbus A320neo's.
