history

A Falcon Air Express Boeing 727-200 in the old livery

Falcon Air Express was founded in 1995 by Emilio Dirube and began flight operations in March 1996. The last Boeing 727-200 was taken out of service at the end of 2007 . As a result, the appearance of the Falcon Air Express also changed.

In June 2015, Falcon Air Express returned its Air Operator Certificate to the Federal Aviation Administration at its own request , as it had not been able to extend the contract with the JPATS . As a result, flight operations were discontinued. A few days later, Falcon Air Express filed for bankruptcy.
