History
Created in March 2004 as TUI Airlines Belgium it takes over most of the flights of Sobelair that went bankrupt. Sobelair was the main airline company used by touroperator Jetair, part of tourism group TUI AG, to carry Belgian tourists to their destinations.
After the bankruptcy of Sobelair, TUI Airlines Belgium with a Belgian licence (AOC) is created by the TUI Group, the largest tourism group in Europe that owns six other airlines. It performs most of the flights of touroperator Jetair.
On November 23, 2005 it got rebranded as Jetairfly due to the new marketing strategy of the TUI Group that wants to regroup all its airline activities under the same alliance: TUIfly, the largest leisure fleet of Europe. As a result all the airlines under TUIfly were rebranded with the name best known in their local market or the name of the principal tour operator for which they operated flights. All the airlines, with the exception of HLX.com, acquired the suffix "-fly" and had their aircraft repainted in the light blue TUI colours with red TUI logo.
Summer route Toulon-Brest will be continued for the coming winter 2006 season. It uses a Fokker 100 on the route.
