Top Fly operated as a charter airline and passenger and cargo carrier headquartered in Gran Canaria, Spain.
History
Established in 1998, Top Fly managed pilot training academies located at Sabadell Airport and Monflorite, Huesca Airport. The company offered charter flights, air taxi services, and on-demand air medical services throughout Europe and Africa. Commercial flight operations were discontinued in November 2009. Subsequently, former staff founded CanaryFly, acquiring a portion of Top Fly's aircraft. Although Top Fly persisted as a flight training institution, it filed for bankruptcy in June 2012.
CanaryFly continued operating routes formerly served by Top Fly, utilizing an ATR 42-300 alongside ex-Top Fly Swearingen Metroliner planes.
