Rioja Airlines was a Spanish charter airline based in La Rioja region.2

The story

Rioja Airlines was founded in 2007 by Riojano entrepreneurs. It began operations from the Logroño-Agoncillo Airport in Recajo with flights to Alicante, Sevilla and Málaga.

Its maiden flight was on 24 June 2007 with a flight to Sevilla, but the airline soon ran into financial difficulties and ceased operations only three months later on 9 September 2007. Creditors filed lawsuits against the airline even after it ceased operating.
