Tyrolean Jet Services (TJS) was established in 1978, as Austria´s first executive air operator, operating business jets and Management jets for Swarovski's Corporate Flight Department and for clients on the worldwide air charter market.
History
The company was founded in 1958 as Aircraft Innsbruck, by Christian Schwemberger-Swarovski and Gernot Langes-Swarovski. The division operated business flights with two Cessna Citations. At this time Innsbruck offered only a flight to Zurich.
In 1978 the firm was renamed and restructured as Tyrolean Airways, combining airline, air ambulance and business travel.
In April 1980 a Dash-7 flew the first scheduled flight from Innsbruck to Vienna and Zurich. In the first year in business 38,500 passengers took the flight, which justified a second machine from May 1981. In 1985 Tyrolean Airways operated a twin-engine Dash-8 with 37 seats and the company was renamed in Tyrolean Jet Service.
Tyrolean Air Ambulance was divided into the Tyrol Air Ambulance and the helicopter division in the Heliair split out.
1988 Tyrolean became a public company and Leipnik Lundenburger AG acquired 25%. ÖAMTC acquired Heliair and in 1995, Austrian Airlines acquired the scheduled flight operations. Thereafter TJS focused exclusively on business travel.
In 2006, the fleet's total flight time reached approximately 3,100 hours. In 2007 TJS operated five business jets, including two ultra-long range aircraft. Several aircraft were managed for external support.
In 2008 TJS received EBAA Silver Safety Award for their compliance with the EU OPS 1 standard.[1] In 2010, the company won the EBAA Golden Safety Award for their operation according to the EU OPS 2 standard.[2]
As of 2011 TJS employed 25 pilots and eight flight attendants, ten technicians, nine persons in the service area and five in the administrative field.
