The story

Fly Air was established in 2002 out of the defunct carrier Air Anatolia and operated holiday charter flights. In October 2003, the airline started offering scheduled services. Fly Air was the first charter airline in Turkey with domestic flights. The first domestic flight gained a lot of media coverage as the monopoly of Turkish Airlines was broken. Fly Air ceased operations after financial problems in 2007.
