History

The airline was established in 1994 and started operations in 1998.

It was formed as part of the Air Atlantique Group of Companies to specialise in the supply of contract and ad hoc cargo services.

Since July 2001 Atlantic Airlines has traded independently within the group and continues to broaden its product range and capability, for instance through the signing of a strategic alliance with a similar specialist operator, Enimex of Estonia.

Atlantic Airlines also holds a contract to provide the UK Maritime and Coastguard Agency with Lockheed Electra aircraft fitted with aerial spray equipment to combat oil pollution at sea.
