Air Horizont Limited is a charter airline based in Malta, with its main offices located in Msida, Malta and Zaragoza, Spain.

It functions as a subsidiary under the ownership of Corporacion Aragonesa Aeronautica S.A..

History

Established in 2014 by aviators Manuel Sahli and Juan Luis Díez, Air Horizont originally intended to commence scheduled services back in 2011 but was hindered by financial constraints. The airline planned to start operations in May 2015 using a Boeing 737-400 (registration 9H-ZAZ), offering twice-weekly flights to Munich, Seville, Alicante, and Rome. However, delays in securing the air operating certificate postponed the launch until July 2015. By June 2015, the company redirected its business model away from scheduled routes towards charter flight services.

Since its foundation, Air Horizont has carried over 1.5 million passengers to upwards of 250 destinations. In addition to commercial charter flights, it has developed expertise in VIP transportation, frequently serving international sports teams throughout Europe.

The airline operates permanent hubs at London Southend Airport and Milan Malpensa Airport and establishes temporary operational bases at Zaragoza Airport, Bratislava Airport, and Porto Airport.
