Some time later a Beechcraft 1900 and a Cessna 208 were bought. In 1999 it was possible to book online for the first time. The airline is privately owned.
Due to security concerns on the part of the EU Commission , Avior Airlines has been banned from operating in the airspace of the European Union since November 30, 2017 .
