History
1998
On 17th April 1998, Rodova Airlines was founded by Thebiggestcool and 2 other men; they started commencing operations on 15th September 1998 at John Shedletsky International Airport.
2003
The airline was featured at the ROBLOX City Airshow, where they would make a low pass and circuit around John Shedletsky INTL. The airshow went viral as the airline's annual passenger count started to skyrocket and become one of the largest airlines in Roblox despite having a way smaller fleet at the time. They decided to make the risky move of investing in IFE, which would not only make it the 3rd airliner with IFE at the time, but it turned out to be a great success and the airline's reputation improved by a lot.
2007
The airline received a 5 star rating on SkyTrax. On November 14th, the airline announced its order for 10 Roeing 787-9 Dreamliners for 2.4B R$ and would be operating by 2012. This was when they announced retiring the Roeing 727-200 fleet.
2011
The CEO of Rodova, Player1, was involved in a fatal car crash on the way to the Rodova Airlines headquarters. Just after 30 mins on the way to the hospital, Player1 tragically died due to loss of blood. The CEO position was then passed over to Player2.
2013
The airline announced its order for 15 Robus RA380s for 2.4B R$, marking the most expensive order in aviation history.
