History
The airline was founded by South Tyrolean entrepreneur Josef Gostner, who was part of ABD Holdings, a company that purchased Bolzano Airport from the South Tyrol government in 2019.[3] The airline originally intended to commence operations in May 2020 with one daily flight between Bolzano and Rome, along with further connections to Vienna and Munich afterwards and charter flights to southern Italy during the summer season. Gostner also had plans to lengthen the runway at Bolzano Airport by 260 m to allow larger aircraft to operate at the airport.[4]
