History
The airline was incorporated on 29 July 1993. The airline started service on 23 October 1995. Two Shorts 360 aircraft were acquired from one of the airline's major shareholder, Mesa Airlines, a United States commuter airline.
Services were started between Birmingham, East Midlands and London Gatwick. Later, a service between East Midlands and Belfast City was started. On 2 August 1996, a Liverpool - Belfast International service was started. At that time, the airline operated two Shorts 360 and two Jetstream 31 aircraft.
In September 1996, the airline ceased operating and the assets were liquidated.
