The airline was established and started operations in

Fly Air was the first charter airline in Turkey with domestic flights. The first domestic flight gained a lot of media coverage as themonopoly ofTurkish Airlines was broken. Other charter airlines entered the domestic flights which lowered the prices of the tickets, leading to many Turkish residents flying for the first time instead of long bus travels between cities.
