How do you increase your credit rating in this game?

Age of airline, revenue and company value... increase all of them and your rating increases. Negative vs. positive cash can also have an impact, but it's more of a demotion that's available for being negative cash than it does to increase one's rating.

Loans do not appear to affect one's credit rating unless it puts your CV below the next threshold.

Missing a payment does not impact your credit rating in the game. However, if you miss a payment, that means your cash is negative. Once your cash goes back to positive, then you'll bounce right back to where you were (eg AAA).

Would it help if you got rid of your loan so you don't owe the bank any money?

With respect to credit rating, no, as your CV does not change with that transaction. If you want the bank to offer you more money, then paying them off will facilitate that to an extent, but usually just to the extent that you just paid them back, which is a waste of money due to junk fees.
