History
After start-up Cypriot air carrier Charlie Airlines, estabilished in early 2016, won the rights to use Cyprus Airways trademark, in March 2017 it obtained the air operator certificate (AOC) from the Cypriot Department of Civil Aviation.[4] Scheduled operations were launched in June 2017.
In 2024, the airline applied for subsidies to launch flights from Ljubljana, but cancelled the plans following a change in management and issues surrounding its Pratt & Whitney engines.[5]
