Jet Air started its operational activity in 2001 in the business aviation sector, providing broker rendering services (small aircraft and helicopters) to local operators and companies. Jet Air started scheduled domestic operation for LOT Polish Airlines in winter 2005/06 with three BAe Jetstream 32, flying on routes with less demand (like Zielona Góra, Bydgoszcz, and Rzeszów).
On 11 October 2007, LOT Polish Airlines announced it would cut the amount of routes Jet Air would fly, citing the lesser desirability of Jetstream aircraft as well as limited demand for these routes. In the end, this enabled Jet Air to begin its own operation as a stand-alone airline. Jet Air-branded flights began in late 2007 and the airline has since expanded the number of destinations it flies to.
Starting from October 2010, Jet Air operated flights on behalf of Ostfriesische Lufttransport (OLT) from their hub at Bremen Airport to both Nuremberg Airport and Brussels Airport.[1] These flights ceased in May 2011.
In August 2011, Jet Air was bought by Polish company Amber Gold. Together with OLT, which is also owned by Amber Gold, it created new Polish airline OLT Jetair.
Jet Air operates the following services (as of November 2011):
The Jet Air fleet consists of the following aircraft (as of 28 August 2011[update]):[2][3]
