Star Airways was an airline based in Tirana, Albania. It was founded by several Albanian and Italian investors and obtained its operating license in June 2009. On April 3, 2010 Star Airways received its first aircraft, an Airbus A320. Its second A320 arrived in May of the same year.[1][2][3]
On June 7, 2010 Star Airways commenced operations using two McDonnell Douglas MD-82 jetliners provided by ItAli Airlines as it had not received approval to operate with its own aircraft. With scheduled flights from Tirana to several Italian cities, there were plans to expand routes to other cities such as Istanbul, Antalya, Thessaloniki and Düsseldorf. However, in the summer of 2010, the Albanian aviation authority withdrew its operating license and all flight operations were stopped completely in September of that year.[4]
Star Airways was also the name of a commuter airline that operated Swearingen Metro turboprop aircraft with flights between Denver and several destinations in the Rocky Mountains region of the western U.S. in the late 1970s.[5]
