History

On 14 May 2017, it was announced that the airline had secured its Air Operator's Certificate (AOC) from the Slovenian Civil Aviation Agency allowing it to carry passengers and cargo.[2] The airline ceased operations alongside its larger sister VLM Airlines in September 2018.[citation needed]
