History

Air Horizont was founded in 2014 by pilots Manuel Sahli and Juan Luis Díez.[3] Air Horizont has attempted to launch scheduled operations in 2011, it failed because the airline wasn't able to secure adequate funds.

The airline was set to commence operations in May 2015 using a Boeing 737-400 registration 9H-ZAZ, Munich, Seville, Alicante and Rome should be served twice a week.[4] However, the launch was postponed to July 2015,[3] citing delays in receiving its air operating permit. In June 2015 it was announced that Air Horizont will not operate scheduled flights and instead focus on charter flights. The already 4,000 tickets sold have been refunded.[5][6]
