History

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]
