-'''[[File:Aviones_Fly_Us_02_GTA_IV.jpg|thumb|left|A FlyUS Boeing 747 roaming around the airport]]FlyUS''' is a prominent airline featured in the [[GTA IV Era]]. Its slogan is: "Live a little, Fly with US". At [[Francis International Airport, Dukes|Francis International Airport]], there are many airlines promoting flights to [[Los Santos]] & [[Las Venturas]] as well as FlyUS cars driving along such as the [[Feroci]] and the [[Perennial]] as well as the [[Ripley]] and the [[Airtug]]. But there are also driving [[taxi|Taxi's]] and [[bus|Busses]] The airline's livery appears to be based off of the previous generation United Airlines, though the name could be a joke towards US Airways. A company named [http://www.flyus.aero/ FlyUs] exists in real life, however it is not a passenger airline, and is based in the Netherlands and Belgium. But the real life FlyUs logo does bear a stunning resemblance to the FlyUS logo.[[File:Aviones_Fly_Us_03_GTA_IV.jpg|thumb|A private jet wearing the FlyUS logo]]
-The Fly US fleet includes a large ammount of 747 Jumbo jets and there are also some Shamal-like planes around Francis International Airport with the Fly US logo- Altrough only the Jumbo jets are seen flying (And also roaming around runways and taxiways) around Liberty City.
+'''FlyUS''' is an airline prominently featured in the [[Grand Theft Auto IV]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars]].
-The name could be trying to say 'fly us', sexual slang for having sex with them.
+== Description ==
+With offices based at [[Francis International Airport, Dukes|Francis International Airport]] (FIA) in [[Dukes]], [[Liberty City]], FlyUS' presense at FIA is very evident in GTA IV with the appearances of service vehicles bearing the FlyUS name, including airport transit variants of the [[Feroci]] and [[Perennial]], as well as the [[Ripley]] pushback and [[Airtug]] light tug.
+The FlyUS fleet includes a number of [[wp:Boeing 747|Boeing 747]] jumbo jets, as well as [[Shamal]]-like commuter aircraft, which can be found parked around FIA. FlyUS jumbo jets may also be seen roaming around FIA's runways, as well as being airborne, circling the whole of Liberty City (interestingly, these planes constantly extend their landing gears despite never landing).
+The airline's livery is similar to liveries of the previous generation [[wp:United Airlines|United Airlines]], and its name is seemingly a nod to airlines that adopt the "United States" abbreviation in their name, such as [[wp:US Airways|US Airways]]. The name may be a pun of "flyers", the zip of one's pants, or "fly us", a sexual slang term that, unsurprising, is about having sex.
+== Trivia ==
+* Coincidentally, "FlyUs" is also the name of [http://www.flyus.aero/ a Dutch/Belgium cargo carrier] in real-life. Similarly, the company's corporate logo bears a degree of semblance to the FlyUS logo (including the color use and distribution of colors among the logo's text).
