History

Interisland Airlines was founded in 1986 as Interisland Air Services Incorporated. The airline was founded by Luke and Consuelo Helgen. Soon after, other people joined the company from Interisland Resorts & Services Incorporated: Lydia Dizon acting as Chief Financial Officer (CFO), Gloria Belen acting as Trustee, and Marcelo Rivera as the Chief Operating Officer. The airline started as charter services company with 2 Bell 206 Helicopters, both Long Ranger and Jetranger, and 4 private jets from Aero Commander, Cessna, Dassault, Bell & Pilatus Aircraft.[ citation needed ]

In 2004, the airline acquired two YAK-40 aircraft and sold their helicopters. As a result, they rebranded to the current name Interisland Airlines in December. [2]

On March 30, 2010, the airline was added to the European list of banned air carriers. A month later on April 23, its air operator's certificate was revoked following a fatal accident involving an Antonov An-12 that had occurred two days earlier. [3]

As of May 2017, the company closed its operations and its official Facebook page are still available.
