Flyant, also referred to as FlyAnt Cargo, was a Spanish all-cargo airline headquartered in Palma de Mallorca. It provided domestic scheduled flights, charter services, and ACMI wet lease operations throughout Europe and West Africa. Its primary base of operations was Madrid Barajas International Airport.
History
Established in 2006 as a fully owned subsidiary of Futura International Airways, Flyant commenced its activities on 4 July 2006, employing 20 staff by March 2007. Following the shutdown of Futura on 22 September 2008, Flyant's aircraft operating certificates were reassigned—AGROAR took over for Spain, while Air One assumed control in Italy. Flyant ultimately terminated all operations on 14 December 2008.
After ceasing business, the airline was acquired for a nominal price of one Euro by New Iberital, a logistics firm based in Catalonia, which maintained cargo operations under the new brand Saicus Air.
Destinations
Flyant operated five weekly cargo routes connecting Madrid with Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and Tenerife utilizing its initial Boeing 737. Another aircraft stationed at Rome-Fiumicino conducted five weekly "Posta" flights from Rome to Brescia on behalf of Air One. Additionally, daily freight services were operated between Lisbon and Funchal.
Fleet
By December 2008, the Flyant fleet consisted of a single Boeing 737-300F, which had an average service age of approximately 20 years.
