The airline was established in 2004 and started operations on 17 December 2004, with three Airbus A320-200s wet-leased from other airlines. The following week, it received its own air operator certificate and started operations with its own Airbus A320-200. It was backed by former Volare Airlines management.[4] Owners included Triskel SRL (51%) and My Holding (23%), and it had 232 employees (at March 2007).[2]
On 21 July 2009, the Italian Civil Aviation Authority (ENAC) suspended MyAir operations from Bergamo-Orio al Serio Airport due to unpaid taxes, duties and tariffs. Flights from Venice Marco Polo Airport[5] and Bari International Airport[6] were also suspended. This suspension was effective 24 July of that year.[6]
