4YOU Airlines was[1] a Polish virtual airline owned by tour operator Alfa Star.[2] At first it operated charter services and was prepared to transition into a low-cost carrier. However this plans failed to materialize.
History
4YOU Airlines started operations in spring 2014 by offering leisure charter flights mainly to the Mediterranean.[3]
In September 2014, 4YOU Airlines temporarily suspended their charter operations to prepare their planned rebranding into a scheduled carrier.[4] They were expected to resume service with their new route network in November 2014 despite issues with ticketing and the Civil Aviation Office.[5] It has been claimed that 4YOU Airlines sells tickets before actually having the necessary licenses to operate their routes on offer.[6]
However, on 24 October 2014 the airline declared bankruptcy. Additionally, a circuit prosecutor's office in Warsaw launched an investigation because 4YOU Airlines started to sell tickets without a concession and other documents so at that time it wasn't considered an air carrier.[1]
Destinations
After their rebranding 4YOU Airlines planned to establish bases at Łódź Władysław Reymont Airport and Rzeszów–Jasionka Airport to offer flights from there mainly to European metropolitan destinations.[3] The route network - which never came into being - had been announced as follows:[7]
- Belgium
- France
- Germany
- Israel
- Italy
- Poland
- Łódź - Łódź Władysław Reymont Airport Base (should have begun 2 November 2014)
- Rzeszów - Rzeszów–Jasionka Airport Base (should have begun 2 November 2014)
- Spain
- United Kingdom
Fleet
As 4YOU Airlines was a virtual carrier without its own AOC, it used aircraft from other airlines such as Grand Cru Airlines and YanAir.[2]
