## History

The airline was founded on 10th April 2019 by LAC, hoping to revive tourism to a Southern Italian region known as Calabria. The airline performed its inaugural flight on the day it was founded - between Lamezia Terme and Rome FCO using a Boeing 737-700. New flights were added the day after. The airline took delivery of its first 777-300ER on 1 May and its first Airbus A380-800 on 7 May.

The airline joined the Highflyer Alliance on 5 May 2019 and departed from it on 18 October 2019 in order to join the Trans-Continental Alliance. On 4th May 2019, the route Lamezia Terme- Miami Intl was inaugurated, with a Boeing 777-300ER. On 9th October 2019, the airline received by the Certificate of Professionalism by the Skyteam Alliance.

On 15 January 2020, it joined MGroup. On 15 March 2020, the airline's discord server reached 100 members. On 1 May 2020 the airline's discord server reached 150 members, surpassing TechAir. On the same day, it acquired Poppy Airlines, increasing the member count to 184 (reckoned by the CEO), though it is likely closer to 175. The very next day, Tasman Cargo Airlines and Danyo Airlines became subsidiaries, pushing the member count up to around 260. On 4 October the airline reached 504 members.
