The story takes place at MJN Air, the world's smallest airline, consisting of just one 16-seater aeroplane: a Lockheed McDonnell 3-12 [[business jet]], with the [[United Kingdom aircraft registration|aircraft registration]] Golf Echo Romeo Tango India — G-ERTI — and thus nicknamed Gerti. The company name derives from when owner Carolyn Knapp-Shappey (Stephanie Cole) was awarded Gerti as part of her divorce settlement with her Australian husband, Gordon Shappey, ([[Timothy West]]) and thus proudly proclaimed that Gerti was: "My Jet Now". The company is so small — with Carolyn joking that MJN was not so much an airline as more of an "airdot" — that everything is run on a tight budget and they are willing to take on any job to keep the business going. The company is based in the fictional Fitton Airport, located somewhere in the [[English Midlands|Midlands]]. |
