History

Air Horizont was founded in 2014 by pilots Manuel Sahli and Juan Luis Díez. [3]

The airline was set to commence operations in May 2015 using a Boeing 737-400 registered 9H-ZAZ, serving Munich, Seville, Alicante and Rome twice a week. [4] However, the launch was postponed to July 2015, [3] citing delays in receiving its air operating permit. In June 2015 it was announced that Air Horizont will not operate scheduled flights and instead focus on charter operations. [5] [6]

Since its founding, the airline has transported more than 1.5 million passengers to more than 250 airports. While being a commercial charter airline, they also specialise in VIP transport, most notably flying several well-known international sports teams around Europe. [7]

The airline has two permanent bases at London Southend Airport and Milan Malpensa Airport, with temporary operating bases at Zaragoza, Bratislava and Porto. [8]
