FernAir was an airline based out of Titsensaki, founded in October of 2016. It was the Froge Kingdom's flag carrier, and originally was going to be based in Crossfern, but the lack of airspace caused it to fly out of Titsensaki Regional Airport and Birchview Leydon International Airport instead.

FernAir flew about 10 flights in total, however the total number is unknown including old flights. They operated a fleet of fully Climax planes up until its demise in 2017.

The airline has had a number of troubles in its past. At first, they were finding to find airport slots and gates and had no base airport to call their own, meaning they had no destinations to connect up to. For a long time, FernAir didn't make a profit, but good marketing after the 5th flight helped to put it on track. With the opening of Titsensaki International Airport (later renamed to Titsensaki Regional Airport), flights soon expanded further across the server.

Some bad business decisions hit FernAir hard, especially in mid-2017, where they struggled to maintain operations. Flight schedules were reduced and they sold off half of their aircraft. Their fate was sealed when on August 19th, 2017, a FernAir 747 crashed just south of runway 36R, resulting in 120 deaths and many more injured. On October 9th, FernAir filed for chapter 11 bankrupcty, and ceased scheduled operations on October 19th, 2017. The next day, it merged with GreyAir to use its remaining assets to form National Airlines, and on the 21st, the first flight took off under the new airline.
