History

[edit]

The airline was founded in 2016 and commenced flight operations one year later in August 2017 with a single Airbus A320 for various tour operators. In 2022 the airline became a part of Vector Group, international aviation holding, comprised by the airline, as well as by the MRO "ETG Maintenance", leasing company "Maverick Horizon" and a capacity provider "Classic Air".

As of 2024 Electra Airways operates eight A320 family Aircraft (7 A320 and 1 A321), leasing them from Avolon, Carlyle Aviation Partners and Maverick Horizon.

In 2024 Electra Airways and SunExpress announced a new partnership with flights from German airports to Varna and Burgas, covering a three-year contract from Bulgarian Black Sea Coast. The airline will deploy two aircraft respectively, gradually increasing them to 6 over the next three years.
