Air Sul (officially Air Sul - Transporte Aéreo Não Regular, SA ) was a Portuguese charter airline based at Lisbon Airport that ceased operations in 1992.

history

Air Sul was founded in 1989 by private investors in Lisbon . With a Boeing 737-200 rented by British Britannia Airways , operations began in December 1989, initially to Switzerland and then to other Western European countries to fly Portuguese guest workers home for Christmas. After Air Sul was able to conclude long-term transport contracts with several tour operators in the spring of 1990 , two leased Boeing 737s were used on tourist charter flights . The company mainly flew from Faro Airport to Great Britain and the Netherlands . At the beginning of the 1991 summer season, the company rented two additional Boeing 737-200s from the German airline Hapag-Lloyd . Air Sul ran into economic difficulties in the autumn of 1991, which led to the bankruptcy of the company in January 1992.
