History
South Atlantic Airways was founded in 2000 as a Spanish-Russian venture. The company leased a plane from Israeli airline Arkia and began operating charter flights in March 2001.[2]
On 30 November 2001 South Atlantic Airways returned the leased plane to Arkia and ended all operations.[3] The circumstances in which this airline operated and its activities were not clear and are rife with speculations.[4][5]
