Ryjet, also known as RYJET - Aerotaxis del Mediterraneo,[1] was a small Spanish airline based in Málaga. Despite its name, the airline's fleet included no jets, only turboprop aircraft.[2]

History

edit

The airline was founded in 1999 and projected to operate air taxi, cargo and charter services covering Spain, Portugal and Morocco.[2] Most of its operations, however, were between Málaga and Melilla. By 2011, the airline had established a kind of airbridge between the southern Spanish city and the Spanish possession on the Moroccan coast raising the number of its flights to 108 per month.[3]

Ryjet made headlines in 2007 when it was revealed that it had asked high amounts as down-payments to pilots who wished to work for the company.[4] In the following years, other irregularities were detected in the operation of the airline.[5]

By March 2012, Ryjet had run into severe financial trouble and had difficulties paying its bills;[6] three months later —owing to default in payments to its lessors and to its employees— Ryjet announced that it ceased operations.[7][8]
