history
Alliance Airlines was founded and started operations in August 2002. Queensland Airline Holding acquired the estate of the no longer active Flight West Airlines , which was founded in 1987 and dissolved in 2001. Alliance had a wet leasing contract with Norfolk Jet Express until this was also terminated on June 4, 2005. Alliance Airlines continued flight operations for a week, then Qantas took over flight operations with an Air Nauru machine .
In 2015 Austrian Airlines sold 15 Fokker 100s and six Fokker 70s to Alliance Airlines. The transaction was settled in cash and in shares from Alliance Airlines. In spring 2019, the Lufthansa Group sold the last tranche of its stake at a profit, at the same time it became known that Qantas had acquired 19.9 percent. The Helvetic Airways sold the five Alliance Airlines Fokker 100, including spare engines, spare parts and tools.
