CaelusLink is a subsidiary of the ikeda-Caelus Airline Group that offers helicopter service to towns across the MRT server. Created as a feeder service for mainline flights on Caelus Airlines and ikeda, the airline primarily operates service from towns without heliports, including Senator towns, to hubs at Saint Roux - Charles de Gaulle International Airport and Prubourne Heliport, where guests can connect to flights through Charles de Gaulle International Airport and MRT International Airport, respectively.
History
Caelus Airlines was founded as Inverted Airlines on March 14, 2012 on a derpy creative server. The airline first made its presence on the MRT when the MRT International Airport went under construction in August 2012. Reserving a few gates, IVA had aircraft installed in the airport shortly after the concourses were finished. During the unification of Frontier Corporation and LSN Holdings in November 2013, Inverted Airlines was merged with its off-server counterpart, WorldJet Airways, and the resulting airline used WorldJet's branding, amenities, and aircraft designs.
Up until this point, none of these flights operated real flights within the MRT outside of roleplays. However, in 2014, amidst the rise of several new airlines, WorldJet rebranded as Caelus. At this point, Caelus operated few flights and mainly let gates sit unused in MRT International Airport and elsewhere. The airline expanded under the ownership of the Under_Score Corporation in late 2014, with access to Ender Wing Airlines gates in MRT International Airport and elsewhere; however, changes were incremental and insufficient for the time, with the airline only gaining a few flights.
In 2015, Caelus merged with Air Peach to form Notalis, a luxury airline attempting to combine the best of both companies. The name, pronounced "no-tuh-lis" but commonly mispronounced as "no-tah-lis", was an amalgamation of Greek words meaning "southern" and "premium", which were the primary "pillars" off which the Notalis brand was based. Notalis, at the request of KittyCat11231, initiated a merger with IntraAir in the summer of 2016. A multitude of efforts to rebuild, rehabilitate, and rebrand the airline, cleaning up after a year of mismanagement from Notalis' preoccupied management, were set into motion. Meanwhile, citing an imminent monopolization of the MRT's airline industry, a number of new airlines, most notably BART Airlines, arose. However, this merger ultimately failed when IntraAir withdrew. Alas, many of the reasons cited by IntraAir for cancelling the merger were true: Caelus and Air Peach had not been fully integrated; the Notalis network was messy and uncoordinated; and was being torn apart by the management of several different people. The cancelled merger, among other drama, plunged Notalis into a state of bad public relations and a bad public image. This was enough of a mess that Soleurs, our original founder, left to create his own airline.
Seeking to ride on the wave of momentum created by the attempted merger with IntraAir, reformation efforts continued. A successful but conditional bid to get Soleurs back onboard forced the admittedly unethical demotion of kiwirainbow to a functionally equivalent but ceremonially inferior position, leading him to resign. Furthermore, Soleurs, citing bad PR associated with the Notalis brand, successfully pushed for a rebrand of the airline resulting in a two-pronged strategy: ikeda for the old world, and Caelus for the new world. The two airlines would be operated as two parts of a coherent whole under a holding company, ICAG. _Smae was hired as an executive and immediately got to work on an attractive new livery and interiors while JohnNotTech unveiled new advertisements and a new brand image including a tweaked version of the old Caelus logo. It was decided that the reformed route network would be based out of hubs at Charles de Gaulle International Airport in Saint Roux, Akane-Ishuzu International Airport, and MRT International Airport.
In September 2016, CaelusLink was created to compete with other up-and-coming helicopter companies, and began to offer service to several Senator cities on the new world, as well as some cities on the old world. A generic heliport, currently in operation in Washingcube, was built as a way to quickly roll out service to cities upon approval. The airline continues to operate today.
ICAG's need for a unique destination on the new world prompted the development and rapid deployment of flights to Charles de Gaulle International Airport in Saint Roux. However, because of an excess of destinations on the new world to which Caelus Airlines was under contract to operate flights, Charles de Gaulle International Airport was quickly filled with flights, with most Caelus planes at the airport taking on multiple routes to serve as many destinations as possible. However, when Konawa, a rural city in the northwest area of the new world owned by ICAG and Frontier Group CEO Soleurs, was promoted to Governor in October 2016, the development of Horizon National Airport commenced. The airport became a second hub on the new world for Caelus Airlines, and took on seven of the roughly twenty flights pending and/or operating from Saint Roux, notably easing the burden on that airport.

Fleet
Livery and Design
CaelusLink's livery consists of a simple blue stripe around the fuselage and on the tail. CaelusLink helicopters follow a few design guidelines:
- All boarding doors must have a "Welcome Aboard" sign next to it; preferably on the right side, but this can be changed if necessary.
- Light gray carpeting must be present in aisles and elsewhere as necessary.
- Cockpit windows are to be made with black tinted glass.
- Helicopters must carry a "Part of Caelus" sign on the fuselage in the location standard for that specific aircraft type.

Guest Services
On the Ground
We recommend that you arrive at least 15 minutes prior to your flight's scheduled departure. If you arrive after this time, we'll accommodate you to the best of our ability. When you book your flight, you will be notified as to whether you're eligible for Caelus Select; if you are not eligible, please use the main check-in line and desks. You can also check in on your phone using the Caelus app or website beginning 24 hours prior to arrival, and use your phone or compatible smartwatch as a boarding pass. Furthermore, all passengers are permitted to use Caelus, CaelusLink, or SkyTransit Alliance self check-in kiosks where available.
To access the helicopter, entry into the secure area is required. Typically, upon entry, your boarding pass and ID will be checked by a security officer. For your safety, a uniformed security officer is authorized to inspect any bags in your possession at any time for any reason, and unattended baggage will be removed from the premises upon sighting. Most heliports offer WiFi and some seating for you to use while you wait for your flight to begin boarding. However, to ensure an on-time departure, we ask that you make your best effort to be ready to board at least 5 minutes prior to your flight's scheduled departure time.
Upon arrival, CaelusLink hosts will return any checked baggage, and you're free to exit the building or proceed to your connecting flight.
In the Air
Due to the size and capacity of the helicopters that CaelusLink uses, traditional in-flight service is not available as it is on mainline ICAG flights. As such, in-flight service on CaelusLink consists of a simple refreshment service consisting of a snack box containing few tea sandwiches, a small side salad such as coleslaw, and a small dessert such as a cookie or brownie, and your choice of a selection of water, soft drinks, coffee, teas, and alcoholic beverages. Furthermore, guests are permitted to bring their own food onboard. For in-flight entertainment, video screens are not available due to technical limitations; however, we offer WiFi including streaming video, as well as Skyways, our in-flight magazine, for your enjoyment during the short flight.
Magazine
A monthly luxury lifestyle and literary magazine, Skyways offers a focused approach to timely news and insights about the latest in culture, luxury goods, fine dining and hospitality through impassioned storytelling and an emphasis on the people and places that make this server and airline special. Skyways is created exclusively for guests flying aboard Caelus and ikeda, and visitors to Caelus Loft lounges.
