Company history
[edit | edit source]Flitestar was the first South African airline to directly challenge the monopoly of South African Airways (SAA). It was a subsidiary of Trek Airways; the actual name of the airline was Trek Airways Flitestar, but it operated under the brand name Flitestar. The airline began operations on 16 October 1991 using four new leased Airbus A320-211 aircraft.
Flitestar concentrated on serving the business market without neglecting other passengers, which gained it up to 25% of the domestic market with load factors of 63% or more. On 11 April 1994 Flitestar and Trek Airways ceased operations.[1]
Flitestar Aviation Ltd is a British based Air Charter Company, founded in 2019 and based in Cheshire, United Kingdom specializing in large commercial jet charter services worldwide.
