SprintAir Sp. z o.o. is a regional airline based in Warsaw, Poland.[1] It mainly operates domestic and regional passenger and freight services. Its main operating base is Warsaw Frederic Chopin Airport.
History
The airline was originally set up in 2003 under the name of Air Polonia Cargo Sp. z o.o. It started freight and mail flights in April 2004, with three Let L-410 UVP-E aircraft. Later that year the airline was renamed to Sky Express Sp. z o.o. and acquired its first Saab 340A turboprops. Between April 2006 and April 2007 it started scheduled domestic passenger operations under the Direct Fly brand. After suspension of regular passenger flights the airline has been continuing freight operations. In January 2008 SprintAir Group was established and the airline changed its name to SprintAir.
In summer of 2011, Sprintair operated charter flights from several Polish airports to holiday destinations (mainly in the Mediterranean region) using a single leased Airbus A320 aircraft. This activity was suspended with the end of summer 2011 season, and has never been continued.
