FlyOristano was an Italian regional airline based at Oristano-Fenosu Airport in Oristano, Sardinia. Flight operations began on 3 June 2010 and ended on 27 January 2011.
History
[edit]The airline was founded as a partnership by the airport operator, Sogeaor, to provide passenger service from Oristano but was not licensed by the Italian Civil Aviation Authority and after starting service on 3 June 2010 following delays, was ordered to cease operations.[1][2][3] Although an aircraft was painted in FlyOristano livery, services were actually provided by Denim Air.[1][2] A second aircraft was introduced in mid-August but returned on 27 August;[2] following monetary problems, the airline ceased operations after Denim Air withdrew services on 26 January 2011[2][4] and the regional authorities blocked hiring and increased control over the accounts.[5][6] Sogeaor went into liquidation at the end of May 2011.[2][7]
