History
The airline began operating low-fare flights connecting Pescara to Paris (Charles de Gaulle International Airport) in 2003, then to Brussels (Brussels South Charleroi Airport) in 2004. During 2005, Air Service Plus started new routes from Pescara to Zürich and from Perugia to Paris. As of 2005, Air Service Plus had carried more than 65,000 passengers, making Pescara and the Abruzzo Region well known amongst French and Belgian tourists. It can be considered as an outstanding example of cooperation between Regions and private investors to develop tourism to less famous destinations.
