Andorra Airlines is a Spanish virtual regional airline headquartered in Barcelona and based at Andorra–La Seu d'Urgell Airport, serving the micro state of Andorra.[1]
History
[edit]The airline was founded in 2015 by businessman Jorge Soriano and two partners. They had plans to start operations by 2016 from Andorra–La Seu d'Urgell Airport, which opened in 2010. Its aim was to connect Andorra with major Spanish and European destinations as at the time the country lacked scheduled flights. This was delayed by several years due to the bankruptcy of the investment fund in charge of the funding of the company.[2]
In 2020, the company announced plans to inaugurate flights to Madrid and Palma de Mallorca using ATR turboprops.[citation needed] In February 2021, a Canaryfly ATR 72 with Andorra Airlines stickers arrived at La Seu Airport. At the time, the company planned to have the aircraft based there for a few months.[3] On 20 April 2021, the company made its first charter flight.[2]
Destinations
[edit]As of July 2021, Andorra Airlines had plans to operate flights from its base at La Seu to Madrid, Palma de Mallorca and Porto.[4]
Fleet
[edit]Andorra Airlines lacks an AOC and doesn't operate any aircraft. During 2021, it marketed flights operated by Canaryfly using an ATR 72.[4]
