history

Lockheed L-1011-500 TriStar from EuroAtlantic Airways

The company was founded in 1993 by Tomaz Metello under the name Air Zarco and began flight operations in May 1997 under the trade name Air Madeira. Initially, transatlantic charter flights were carried out with a Lockheed L-1011 TriStar . Since 1999 the company has been allowed to offer scheduled flights . A year later it was given its current name, EuroAtlantic Airways. EuroAtlantic offers aircraft leasing for other airlines and charter flights for tour operators and is a provider of airport services.

EuroAtlantic Airways was the last European airline to use a Lockheed L-1011 in regular passenger service. This machine was shut down in spring 2010.

EuroAtlantic Airways has a maintenance agreement with TAP Portugal and holds 38% of the shares in STP Airways , the national carrier of São Tomé and Príncipe .
