History
Before AirTech's existence, Unova depended on the Unova Armed Forces as its military. It was the largest and most power military in the world. The AF were unique in which they employed independant companies to supply things such as miltary craft, machinery, ammunition, etc. After the Second War of Alaxia, the Unova Air Force was brutally damaged and suffered catastrophic loses. Durign the war, it became obvious that the current suppliers of the AF could not keep up with demands in times of war. After the war, the need for more companies and more supplies was addressed to the public. This came to the attention of Ashton and Eavon Alatia, recent graduates of the University of Unova. Having a military background, they decided to form a military company to provide such supplies. After receiving a grant from the Military Operations Agency, they formed AirTech.

AirTech started out small, and provided only engines to larger companies for building. The quality of the engines were quickly notcied, and the demand for AirTech engines rose to a significant level compared to other suppliers. AirTech then began building and supply basic frameworks for aircraft, and then grew to the point of building entire fleets of aircraft.

Organizational Structure
The Minister of Defense is the CEO of AirTech, though technically appointed by the Prime Minister, it has always been a successor of the Alatia family. The CEO oversees all operations of AirTech, but has a primary involvement in military operations. The only bodies limiting the CEO's powers are the Board of Directors, which typically oversee the success and growth of the company. The only limiting power that the BOD have on the CEO is the power to limit the CEO's decisions that might have negative implications on the company.

AirTech has four ministries that operate within its central operating command. These are the Ministry of Defense and Security, Minsitry of Research, Ministry of Energy, and Ministry of Transportation. Each mininistry is headed by the Minister of Security, Minister of Research, Ministry of Energy, and Minister of Transportation respectivly and are all appointed by the MOD. These join together along with other officials to make up the Minister's Cabinent. Within each ministry are departments, which are headed by secretaries. All the secretaries in each ministry form to make that minister's Advisory Council. The accumulation of the Cabinent and Advisory Council form to make the AirTech Advisory Council (ATAC). Four times a year, the ATAC joins the MOD and the Prime Minister's Cabinet to discuss matters of Unova. This combined group forms the Unova Council Board. The ATAC meets once or sometimes twice a month, and the Minister's Cabinet meets once a week.

In addition, yet seperate from the governmental organizations, AirTech has departments that are devoted specifically to AirTech as a company, rather than a government. The Board of Directors, for example, do not have any involvement in governmental affairs, yet they often make decisions that affect certain ministries and departments. The Chief Financial Officer overseens the financial operations of AirTech and is head of the Office of Funds and Resources, which is a governmental department that handles funds received from the Operational Tier and is responsible for proper distribution to the various Ministries and Departments.
