Common Sky, formerly named MAPJet,[1] is an Austrian aviation company headquartered in Linz[2] that offers aircraft, crew, maintenance and insurance (ACMI) services as well as business jet charters.[3]

History

[edit]

In January 2010 MAPJet founded Austriair, a new scheduled airline based at Vienna International Airport which planned to operate with Bombardier Q400 and Embraer 195 aircraft leased from Augsburg Airways.[4] The first planned routes would have led from Vienna to Munich and Frankfurt.[4][5] In April 2010 however, they cancelled their scheduled operations project.[6] One reason given was a lawsuit claim from Austrian Airlines due to possible trademark violations.[4]

In 2012, MAPJet was rebranded and received its current name Common Sky.[7][1]

Fleet
