air FISCHER, previously Fischer Air, was an airline headquartered in Prague, Czech Republic.[1] It operated charter services for tour operator Fischer to over 30 destinations in Europe and Africa, as well as charter flights for other clients. Its main base was Ruzyně International Airport, Prague. In 2005 it was rebranded as Charter Air. Charter Air was not a success since a month later it was bankrupt.[citation needed] In October 2018 it announced its restart as "air FISCHER" as of April 2019.[2] As of October 30, 2019, there were doubts reported about the airline being relaunched.[3]
History
