Pegasus Air Taxi was an American civil aviation company.[1]
Background[]
Founded in 1982 by James Ian Gastovski[1], Pegasus Air Taxi catered mainly to domestic flights within the Malden islands group.
PAT provided speedy air travel for tourists and citizens alike, running charter flights between the islands of Malden, Everon, and Nogova. Most flights were primarily flown by Gastovski himself.
The company's headquarters were previously based on the island of Moray, Malden.[1][2]
History[]
1985[]
In the three years after its founding, business was generally slow, and the company fell on hard times.[3] In mid 1985, the company was also temporarily shut down, though operations resumed once again two months later.[4]
1989[]
PAT is prominently featured on advertisements released by the Everonian Ministry of Tourism.[5]
1991[]
Flights continued to run out of Malden in the early 90s, though the overall status of the business still appeared to be bleak.[6]
2035[]
PAT's headquarters have been relocated elsewhere by the mid 2030s, though the current status of the company's existence ultimately remains unclear.[2]

Trivia[]
- Pegasus Air Taxi was first introduced as an Armaverse company in ArmA: Cold War Assault.
- The absence of PAT's headquarters on Malden would suggest that the company has been disbanded entirely given Gastovski's advanced age (90 years old by 2035).[2] However, this remains unconfirmed as ArmA 3's Malden DLC does not elaborate on the company's status beyond mentioning that it was previously the company's HQ.
- Alternately, PAT may have been acquired and renamed by the Vrana Corporation given the existence of a subsidiary known as "Pegasus Air Services" (PAS) in 2013.[7]
- The company's logo would not be revealed until the release of ARMA Reforger.[5]
