history

Tus Airways was founded in 2015 and started flight operations in 2016.

In October 2017, the company announced that it wanted to accelerate the retirement of the Saab 2000, which has been in use since flight operations began, as its capacity could no longer meet demand. The last flight of a Saab 2000 from Tus Airways took place on October 31 of the same month; the fleet was converted to Fokker 100 and Fokker 70 machines. It is planned to continue flying in spring 2020 after a winter break in 2019/20. A business end is not planned.
