Ajira Airways is a fictional airline, which appears for the first time in the episode 6, titled “316”, of the 5th season of the most famous American serial drama series “Lost”.
The airline has a website (registered to ABC) that is full of consistent advertising by the company and provides visitor the (appearent) possibility to book flights to a series of new destinations (comprising Rome).

In 5×06 episode, the “Oceanic 6”, the 6 survivors of flight Oceanic 815 board the Ajira Airways flight 316, a B737-800 from Los Angeles International (LAX) to Guam (GUM), to get back to the island (“hidden” in the Pacific Ocean). So far, there are not many things to study, since flight details were not unveiled in the story. For sure, the aircraft shown in the episode is clearly a simulator model (most probably a FS2004 or FSX model sporting a fictional livery) like the following screenshots show.
