History

The airline was founded and started operations in 1990 as Varna International Airways using a Tupolev Tu-154M aircraft. It was established by a group of private Bulgarian investors and operates charter flights for BG Tours (Germany), Jetair (Belgium), Neckermann Deutschland, Prodintour (France) and TUI Deutschland. It has 142 employees.

In December 2003 it was reported that Air Via was considering an order for up to 10 Tupolev Tu-214 aircraft.

Finally, Air Via decided to replace the Tupolevs with Airbus A320-200 aircraft. Fact|date=April 2007
