South Atlantic Airways was an airline based in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain. [1]
South Atlantic Airways was founded in 2000 as a Spanish-Russian venture. The company leased a plane from Israeli airline Arkia and began operating charter flights in March 2001. [2]
On 30 November 2001 South Atlantic Airways returned the leased plane to Arkia and ended all operations. [3] The circumstances in which this airline operated and its activities were not clear and are rife with speculations. [4] [5]
