Caldari Airlines is the national airline of the Caldari State. Previously during the Communist regime, the nation had well over 30 myriad airlines, most of which were on the brink of collapse and bankruptcy and thus the government ordered a massive merger of the airlines into one monopoly airline. While this action recieve much criticism, it was the only way to keep compeition for domestic routes from being overtaken by foreign airlines. The largest of the thirty merged airlines, Dragon Airlines won the logo branding vote and its officials became the new heads of the combined Caldari Airlines.

Alliances
Caldari Airlines, along with AirTypo, Eagle Airlines and Delta Air Lines have recently just formed the OneWorld alliance where member airlines and their affiliates enjoy a high degree of co-operation in scheduling, ticketing, code sharing, flight transfer operations, frequent flyer benefits, shared airport lounges, reducing costs, and sharing best practices. Caldari Airline's involvement in this cooperative alliance has increased its carrying capacity by as much as 20% and has increased much international travel to the Caldari State in recent years.
While it is part of a larger alliance, Caldari Airlines codeshares with several other airlines over certain routes like Vladavia for the Xi'an-Berkaterinesburg route, HectAir for numerous Hectarian domestic routes out of Brutus and Eagle Airlines on several domestic Latagonian routes.

Caldari Bonus
Caldari Airlines allows travelers to purchase membership into the program in which as you add up miles, you can gain benefits, special consideration, and the ability to obtain a reservation up to 24 hours before departure. There are 5 levels or tiers of membership within the program and these are: Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Gold and Diamond. The specific benefits of each tier will be discussed below.
Ruby: This is the Entry Level. There are few benefits that are obtained upon confirmation of membership. Baggage limits are increased by several kilograms unlike other tiers, which get more allowance. You are required to fly 2 sectors and 5000 miles before being able to upgrade to Sapphire.
Sapphire: Sapphire Level is a step up from Ruby Level. Sapphire members are given a new benefit, which includes the ability to purchase a seat up to 72 hours before departure on standby. You are required to fly 10 sectors and over 20,000 miles before being able to upgrade to Emerald.
Emerald: If Sapphire is allowed more benefits, Emerald is even higher ranking. Emerald members are allowed to purchase a seat onboard a flight up to 48 hours before departure and give them priority on waiting seats for Business or First Class. Baggage allowances are increased, allowing them more baggage per person allowed without penalty. Emerald members are required to have flown 30 sectors and 80,000 miles before being eligible for upgrade into Gold tier.
Gold: Gold members onboard Caldari Airlines are in high regard. It is hard to obtain the requirements but once you do, they start getting some of the most impressive benefits any airline can give you. Gold members are given one-year free access to the Dynasty Club and the allowance to bring one guest in with you. Gold members have a high priority to late booking for flights up to 24 hours before departure. Gold members are also allowed more baggage over the weight limit and have the ability to enter in the airline’s many special promotions and holiday specials. The requirement to reach Diamond status is demanding requiring you to have flown 90 sectors and flown over 500,000 miles. Once these are reached, upgrading is possible.
Diamond: Diamond is the top tier of the Caldari Bonus Frequent Flyer Mileage Program and very few have reached this level. At this level, everything possible is open to you including top priority upgrades into ether Business or First Class onboard flights, special priority check-in, 100kgs extra baggage over the limit, lifetime free access to the Dynasty Club and the ability to bring two guests into the club for free. There is also private access to the Diamond Dragon Club, an excusive club for Diamond members only that is located at Xi’an International Airport.
