About funny airline names

A joke airline name has one job: it has to look right painted on a fuselage. Most entries here carry an airline word such as Air, Airways, Airlines, Aviation, Air Cargo or Flying Service and put the joke in front of it. The list is for made-up carriers in tycoon games, flight sim liveries, sketches and stories. No entry is presented as a real airline, and nothing here is meant for an actual aviation business.

The jokes come in families. Flying puns play on the vocabulary: Holding Pattern Air, Gate Expectations Airways, Altitude Adjustment Airways. Budget gags are about fees, legroom and delays, as in Extra Fee Airways, Knees to Chin Air and Now Boarding Later Airways. Honest slogans wear their promise as a name, like Probably Tuesday Air and Better Than Walking Airways. Mascot names pick animals that cannot or should not fly, from Ostrich Express to Pigs Might Fly Airways.

Then come the small operators and the grand ones: Uncle Dale's Flying Service and Big Ron's Airline and Bait Shop on one side, Royal Air Bumbleton and Air Nowhere in Particular on the other. Fantasy and space lines (Broomstick Airways, Mars by Tuesday Air) and cargo and charter jokes (Probably Fragile Air Cargo, Business Casual Jets) fill out the list.

How to choose funny airline names

  • Keep the airline word. 'Eventually' is only a word, while Eventually Airlines is a livery. If you shorten a name for a tail logo, keep enough of it that the joke still reads.
  • Match the joke to the fleet. A single-prop outfit in a game suits Hank's One Plane Airline or Old Pete's Puddle Jumper, and a sprawling tycoon empire is funnier as Royal Air Bumbleton or Trans-Imaginaria Air Lines.
  • Give the airline a slogan in the same voice. Mostly On Time Airways hardly needs one, but Half a Biscuit Airlines could promise that the other half is extra.
  • Stay away from real carriers. Do not tweak the name or slogan of an actual airline for a laugh, and if a name will appear anywhere public, search it yourself first: short aviation puns are often already in use by a small firm or a show.
  • For several airlines in one game or story, take one from each family so they sound like rivals: a budget carrier, a flag carrier, a cargo line and one outfit owned by somebody's uncle.

Frequently asked questions

What are some funny airline names?

Try Holding Pattern Air, Extra Fee Airways, Knees to Chin Air, Probably Tuesday Air, Ostrich Express, Uncle Dale's Flying Service, Royal Air Bumbleton or Broomstick Airways. Each one is a joke name for a made-up carrier.

Are these real airlines?

No. The list was written as jokes for fictional carriers, and no entry is presented as a real airline, past or present. We have not looked up whether any business uses one of these names, so search for it yourself before you put a name on anything public.

What can I use a funny airline name for?

Airline tycoon and role-play games, flight simulator liveries, comedy sketches, office party themes, model planes and stories. Names like Middle Seat Airlines or Sorry About That Airlines also work as a team name for a travel-themed quiz night.

How do I make up my own joke airline name?

Take something an airline would never admit and add Air, Airways or Airlines to it: a fee (Convenience Fee Airways), a vague promise (Weather Permitting Air) or an animal that does not fly (Flightless Bird Airlines). An owner's first name and a side business works too, as in Mel's Air Taxi and Lawn Care.
