History

The airline was established in 2000 and started operations on 22 November 2000. It was founded by Hans Mosselman, CEO of Sudtours travel, and began operations with a Boeing 757 aircraft leased from Condor Airlines.

In 2001, 2002 and 2003 DutchBird was awarded “The best Dutch charter airline”. DutchBird’s special family oriented service included attractive extras for parents who travel with children. Frequent passengers included conference members, symphony orchestras and footballers of Ajax. DutchBird was the “Official Carrier of Ajax” since September 2002.

All flights were stopped in December 2004 and the airline is under Dutch bankruptcy protection.
