FlyOristano was an Italian regional airline based at Oristano-Fenosu Airport nearby Oristano, in Sardinia island. Flight operations began on 3 June 2010 and ended on 27 January 2011.[1]
The airline was a partnership sponsored by the airport operator, SOGEAOR, to provide scheduled passenger service but was not licensed by the Italian Civil Aviation Authority and after starting on 3 June 2010, was ordered to cease operations.[2][3][4] Although an aircraft was painted in FlyOristano livery, it was actually flown by Denim Air from Netherlands.[2][3] A second aircraft was introduced in mid-August but was returned on the 27th.[3] Due to cash problems, the airline ceased operations after Denim Air withdrew services on 26 January 2011[3][5] and the regional authorities blocked any further lease agreement and increased control over the accounts.[6][7] SOGEAOR was liquidated at the end of May 2011.[3][8]
