Linxair was a Slovenian corporate airline founded in 1999, with its primary operations based at Ljubljana Jože Pučnik Airport (LJU). It quickly expanded to become the leading business aviation provider within the territory of the former Yugoslavia. Starting in 2009, the company encountered financial challenges that culminated in bankruptcy by 2014. Prior to halting its services, Linxair shifted its main office from Ljubljana to Slovenj Gradec. Some aircraft from its fleet were later managed by the operator SiAvia.
The airline's inventory featured planes such as the Embraer ERJ-135BJ Legacy 600 and various Cessna Citation variants, offering flights throughout Europe, Africa, and Asia. Of particular interest is one Embraer Legacy 600 (registration RA-02795), which was in Linxair's possession from 2007 until 2015 and subsequently passed through multiple operators, illustrating the continued demand for such assets in the business aviation sector.
