The airline started off as a holiday airline offering flights to popular holiday destinations. It was based in Cardiff, Wales and started operations with a single BAC 1-11. As the airline grew it introduced more BAC 1-11s and then a Boeing 737-200. The airlines was owned by Airways International Cymru Ltd. In 1986 it received its first Boeing 737-300, after it received this they expanded their destinations to popular places all of Europe. A few months later the airline started to go bankrupt, as this was the case some 737-300s were returned to their leasers.
