history
Midwest Airlines was founded in 1998 with a fleet of two Airbus 310s . One of the two machines was sold in 2004, the other shut down.
From the beginning, Midwest Airlines operated in the charter segment between Egyptian holiday resorts and Europe and the Middle East . Due to problems with the owners, flight operations were suspended in 2006. After the airline was sold in 2009, the airline underwent extensive restructuring in September 2009. After some effort, a Boeing 737 could be leased . This enabled the flight license to be renewed and operations to resume.
In July 2012 the flight license expired again;
