The story
The airline was formed on December 25, 2002, by HGI Beteiligungs AG, which had been established in 2001. It started operations on March 24, 2003. Carinthian Spirit was also one of the brand names due to the participation of the state of Carinthia. The primary target group were business travellers, but at weekends there were also special offers for tourists.
The former Lauda Air manager and later FlyNiki CEO Otmar Lenz was a member of the Management Board from the company's foundation until December 2005. Andreas Rösslhuber then became a member of the board and was appointed as the reorganisation manager. However, due to the catastrophic economic circumstances, the reorganisation was not successful. At the end of March 2006 Salzburg Airport announced that it would contribute 1.5 million €uros to the airline.
