History
AEROCAL Airlines was originally founded in June 2014 as "Oceanside Airways"[3] and had plans to run operations out of Santa Anna California (SNA).[4] In July 2014 the airlines investors pulled their funding when they realized the airline had been using their money to gamble and "party it up" in Las Vegas in preparation for the airlines launch that August. In November of 2019, Chester Taint of the famous "Tasting the Taints" reality show visited Tokyo, Japan, where he had the idea to launch an airline in Southern California that allowed for easier connections instead of having to travel through crowded Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). Taint purchased 100% stock of the defunct Oceanside Airways with plans to rebuild what had already been started. With his new Fiancé the two moved to San Diego in December 2019 to begin work on the new airline despite warnings from friends and family of "inevitable doom" due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Operations began on September 1st of 2020.

Logo
AEROCAL uses the design that is on the rear of their aircraft from the fuselage up to the tail as the airlines symbol next to the airlines name. The color scheme utilizes two different shades of blue and three different shades of yellow.

Livery
AEROCAL's livery takes nothing from the original airlines (Oceanside) design. Instead, the airline wanted something bright, sleek and elegant to attract a wide array of passengers. The end look was to use various blues and yellows to give a modern look that reminded people of the airlines home state of California. With this vision, Designers came up with the idea to use a bird to symbolize air and growth, a lot of which the airline would be doing. Investors quickly shot the idea down when they saw the initial logo. The designers went back to the drawing board where the idea to use a palm tree was raised. Some were skeptical as Palm trees aren't native to only California and brought up concerns of confusion by possible travelers. Others were excited to run with this idea and the current livery came to life.

Cabin
AEROCAL currently offers a Two-Class product they call "Palm" and "Executive Palm". The airline uses the Safran Z400 seat as their economy product and the Safran Z535 seat for their business class product. The airline has even discussed a possible installation of their Safran interspace seat to combat these crazy days of social distancing.

Palm
AEROCAL calls their economy product "Palm". Using the Safran Z400 this black, white and blue covered leather seat offers a classy look while offering customers exceptional comfort. The Z400 strikes a perfect compromise between in-flight experience and operational efficiency. The comfortable seating, storage, ingenious features and large screens combine to give passengers an enjoyable in-flight experience. Leveraging the most up-to-date technology, it is the lightest solution on the market and optimizes the passenger's living space to offer higher-density cabin occupation without compromising on passenger comfort.

Executive Palm
Executive Palm is AEROCALs Business class product. For this seat, the airline continued with the Safran product offering their customers a seamless transition between the two cabins. Its unique kinematics make it extremely comfortable and protect each traveler's living space. It has a wide, comfortable seat, stowage areas for passengers' personal possessions and is compatible with the latest in-flight entertainment systems.

Reward Programs
Currently AEROCAL does not have a rewards program for its customers. They have however announced plans to implement on in early 2021.

Hubs
AEROCAL's current and only hub is San Diego International Airport where they operate out of Terminal 2.

Fleet
AEROCAL is set to begin operations with five aircraft. Two Bombarder Canadair Regional Jet CRJ-700's and three Airbus A320neo's. The airline currently has orders placed for larger Airbus A321neo aircraft set to be delivered in December of 2020.
