Fantasy Air (Fantasy Air, s.r.o.) was an aircraft producer based in the Czech Republic. The firm began producing ultralight aircraft during the 1990s. Among its products, Fantasy Air developed the Allegro 2007 model, which complied with microlight and ultralight standards in various countries and met the Light-sport aircraft (LSA) criteria in the United States.
In 2007, the company acquired Pisek Airport, a transaction that diverted essential funds away from its manufacturing activities. Although Fantasy Air was declared insolvent on 9 November 2007, it succeeded in selling the airport and subsequently recovering from bankruptcy.
By July 2009, production of the Allegro was relocated to Roseburg, Oregon, USA, under the ownership of X-Air Australia. This shift was largely influenced by the elevated value of the Euro, which negatively impacted sales in both the US and Australian markets.
