[edit] History

The airline started operations on 26 February 2006. It is owned by TUI Travel PLC (40%), Attijariwafa Bank (20%), Investima-SGMB (20%) and MM.Marrache et Benabbes Taarji (20%). The shareholders have jointly established a Moroccan company, Societe d'Investissement Aerienne, the investment vehicle behind the airline.[3]

The objective is to widen the network to other European countries and reach 1.5 million passengers by 2010, with a fleet of ten aircraft and a 395-strong team.

On 17 June 2008, it was announced that TUI Travel had taken 100% ownership of the airline,[4] and on 18 July 2009, TUI Travel signed a letter of intent to sell a majority stake in Jet4you to Royal Air Maroc[5]

Jet4you adopted the IATA code 8J from the now defunct Russian airline Komiinteravia.

On 10 January 2012, it was announced that Jet4you would be completely integrated in the Belgian company Jetairfly. Jetairfly will take over all the planes, the routes, personnel and routes from Jet4you. The integration into Jetairfly will be finalised before the end of 2012.
