History
editHermes Aviation was founded in 2014, with its first aircraft delivered on 31 May 2014 from the Italian carrier Blue Panorama Airlines. During the summer 2014 peak season the aircraft was leased to Italian airline Mistral Air and based at Il Caravaggio International Airport in Bergamo, Italy, to operate charter service to leisure destinations in Greece and Spain.[3]
The first scheduled services began on 15 December 2014, with routes from Turin to Malta via Comiso and Palermo.[4] The service was halted in January 2015, following the revocation of the airline's AOC as a result of numerous delays and flight cancellations.[citation needed]
