history

In 1994 the founder, Karl-Heinz Mali, bought a twin-engine Cessna 340A and ran a small aviation company with a rental license. The Cessna 340 was stationed in Graz . The business developed and based on the rental company, Mali Air Luftverkehr Ges.mbH was founded in 1997 with a transport permit. In the years 1997–1999, Mali Air mainly had flights from Graz to Eastern Europe. In addition to these flights, an agreement with a car manufacturer in 1999 brought many flights to Western Europe. From 2000 onwards, Mali Air operated a twin-engine Piper Aerostar . Mali Air also got a Cessna 421 and a King Air in ownership.
