Italy. It was founded in 2003, following the disbandment of "Air Sicilia", by current CEO Antonino Pulvirenti, also owner of
football team
Calcio Catania. On 11 August 2012 the airline ceased operations until further notice due to financial troubles. At that time it was the third-largest Italian airline by passenger numbers, and operated national and European flights primarily from its hub in
Catania.
