What travel service do Orville and Wilbur manage in Animal Crossing: New Horizons?

The story behind the answer

In Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Orville and Wilbur manage Dodo Airlines.

Dodo Airlines is the game’s transportation service, operating from the airport on the player’s deserted island. Orville works at the airport counter, handling flights and travel arrangements, while Wilbur pilots the seaplane used for island tours and other trips.

The airport connects the player to several kinds of destinations. Players can visit friends’ islands through local or online multiplayer, invite visitors to their own island, and travel to mystery islands using Nook Miles Tickets. The airport also supports sending postcards and, after progression, taking certain special journeys.

The name can be confused with other Animal Crossing organizations. Nook Inc. oversees the island-development program, Able Sisters runs a clothing shop, and the Happy Home Academy evaluates house interiors. None of those groups operates the airport. Dodo Airlines is specifically the travel and communications service introduced in New Horizons, whose airport also gives the game a central hub for multiplayer travel.
