First Air
From Xinda
First Air is the flag carrier of the Northern Sushiian Arctic Settlement and Exclusion Zone (NSASEZ). The airline was founded in late November 2007, however the public founding did not take place until January 2008. Unlike Sushiian Airlines, which is funded by PublicTranspo, this Airline is fully owned and funded by the Northern Sushi airports administration, NS WorldAirports. First Air is currently based in Starluft, where it will fly regularly scheduled flights as Skyservice Airlines. The airline's main hub will become Novia International Airport, in MSS, NS Arctic Settlement and Exclusion Zone as soon as the airport opens in late February.

First Air
First Air will offer charter services to the NSASEZ from mainland Sushi and most services within the NSASEZ. Its fleet will be varied, consisting of aircraft owned by the airline and aircraft on long-term lease for the airline. The leased aircraft will be provided by the Sushiian Air Force. Because of this, many aircraft will be ex-military transports that are specifically designed to allow for landings in the remote arctic. Other services will be operated on small bush planes, older aircraft that SAL disposed of, or on occasion Skyservice aircraft not part of the First Air fleet.
Finally, unlike most airport operations, First Air is tasked with the operations of all airports in the NSASEZ. While First Air is a part of the NS WorldAirports group, it also retains its own administration, thus the airports will differ from an operations standpoint from all other airports in Northern Sushi and BEI.
