IZair (İzmir Hava Yolları) was[1] an airline headquartered on the grounds of Adnan Menderes Airport in İzmir, Turkey.[2]
History
The airline was established in 2005 as İzmir Hava Yolları by a group of businessmen from İzmir. It started operations on 14 June 2006.
Starting in 2012, all IZair flights were marketed under the Air Berlin Turkey brand,[3][4] a cooperation between Air Berlin and Pegasus Airlines. The cooperation was discontinued in 2013, with the brand itself being abandoned.
On 29 February 2012 the last remaining Airbus A319-100 was returned to the lessor.
In November 2018, it was announced that IZair would be dissolved and merged into Pegasus Airlines by the end of 2018.[5]
