History

The airline was founded in November 2011 and started flights on 15 May 2012. The airline flew to destinations in Egypt, Israel, Turkey, Greece, Spain and Tunisia from Poland.

Bingo Airways was well known for the smiley face and bright red nose on the front of its aircraft. One of Bingo's A320-200s, registered SP-ACK, was in a special livery of the Chupa Chups. [3]

On 10 January 2014, Bingo Airways' marketing director Piotr Samson announced that the airline was planning to start up scheduled services but could not disclose any more information on destinations and startup dates until plans were finalized.

By mid-June 2014, Bingo Airways ceased operations as Polish authorities revoked its operating licence. [1]
