Company details

[edit]

Air Atlantis was a charter operations wholly owned by TAP-Air Portugal and began operations in May 1985 using a Boeing 707 and a Boeing 737-200 aircraft.[1] In 1986 the Boeing 737 was replaced with two Boeing 727-100 and the Boeing 707 with three Boeing 727-200s, which were the first aircraft painted in the new airline's livery. The 727s were replaced by Boeing 737-200 and leased brand new Boeing 737-300 from 1988 onwards. By 1993, TAP-Air Portugal decided to restructure its operations and Air Atlantis was dissolved at the end of April 1993.[1]

Charter flights were flown from Amsterdam, Stockholm, Dublin, Bristol, Brussels, Copenhagen, Düsseldorf, Exeter, Frankfurt, Glasgow, Hamburg, London, Manchester, Munich, Newcastle, Stuttgart and Zurich to points in Portugal, but mostly Faro.
