History

The airline was established in 1987 as Casino Express Airways, and started operations in 1989. The airline changed its name to "Xtra Airways" on December 8 2005, [Airways Magazine, February 2006] as a reflection of the purchase of 19% interest in the company by the British travel company XL.com.

Due to the collapse of XL.com on September 12 2008, the infrastructural and financial situation of this airline is unclear. However, no operational issues have been reported thus far. [Xtra Airways homepage http://www.xtraairways.com]
