Astrocraft is a massive airline with a hub in Salem, Oregon, which serves as the main starting point for any major trip across America. Strategically, Astrocraft has hubs in every key city, including New York, Atlanta, Miami, Chicago, Memphis, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Baltimore, Raleigh, San Francisco, San Diego, Sacramento, Portland, Louisville, and Anchorage. The company operates a large fleet of 583 Airbus A318 aircraft with sharklets, offering an extensive network of 622 routes throughout the United States; they also operate one international route to Toronto from Anchorage. Ticket prices remain reasonable at under $300, without any baggage fees, and passengers can enjoy complimentary in-flight wi-fi, power outlets, USB outlets, and a multitude of ads plastered on overhead panels and headrests within the aircraft. As it turns out, the airline earns a substantial portion of its revenue from paper advertisements glued onto these surfaces. The custom seating arrangement allows for a total capacity of 175 passengers. However, the aircraft boast only one lavatory and galley due to the majority of flights being less than four hours long. Surprisingly, beverages come at an additional cost, except for tomato juice and warm nuts, as well as blankets and pillows offered free of charge. Currently, the company's value stands second only to Apple's, with a stock price consistently exceeding $500. Astrocraft has been operational since 1971 when it first acquired its initial ten Boeing 737-100 aircraft. Since then, the airline has continued to thrive without undergoing any significant livery changes. In 2003, Astrocraft ordered an impressive hundred Airbus A318 aircraft to replace their 70-plane B731 fleet and add new routes to their massive network. Their innovative custom seating arrangement, requiring no additional over-wing exits, has earned its place as one of the most successful layouts in aviation history, boasting top ratings in safety, functionality, and productivity. By 2014, the airline welcomed its latest eighty-three Airbus A318 deliveries. The following year, they took steps to modernize by installing revolutionary-tech wifi domes and sharklets on all newer aircraft and exchanging their oldest for new models. In addition, Astrocraft placed ten orders for B739ER/scimitar planes with plans to add more in the future. These aircraft will be transformed into A318-like configurations regarding layout and wifi domes before being available for lease to airlines, companies, or individual proprietors. The airline is frequently likened to "the American Ryanair" due to their compact seating arrangements, paid services, non-reclining seats, and numerous HUBS throughout the country. In 2015, Forbes magazine dubbed Astrocraft as "the best and most reliable low-cost carrier ever created." "Astrocraft's success will endure until the end of aviation history or until the A318 is no longer in production," The New York Times predicted. The airline also plans a substantial redevelopment of Salem's airport, which includes an extended runway, a modern passenger terminal, and cutting-edge automated maintenance facilities. Furthermore, they aim to revolutionize security checks and boarding procedures but keep these intentions private for now. Unfortunately, the company has experienced just one incident in its history - a Boeing 737-100 flight that encountered issues after a bird collided with the left wingtip in 1974 while departing from Nashville. However, thanks to skilled pilots' quick action, they managed to stabilize the aircraft, resulting in minimal damage. This singular mishap earned the label "The Singleton Bird" within the airline due to its rare occurrence as the only significant setback for the company up to that point.
