Air Scotland is a Low-cost Airline based in Glasgow , Scotland , UK . It operates scheduled services from Glasgow International Airport (GLA) and Edinburgh Airport (EDI) to the Mediterranean , and Athens using the air operator's certificate of Greece Airways , a Greek registered company and licensed by the Greek Civil Aviation Authority.


HISTORY


Air Scotland was established in November 2002 by Iraq -born businessman Dhia Al-Ani and started operations on 29 March 2003 , using 2 Boeing 757-200 aircraft operated by Electra Airlines , to Spanish holiday resorts. The company was a ticket provider for Electra Airlines until 25 April 2003 , when the Electra aircraft were grounded by British Airports Authority over debts owed to the airport operator. Air Scotland ceased the agreement with Electra and began operating with Air Holland , who agreed to resume operation of the former Electra routes. With the demise of Air Holland, it then began operating under the air operator's certificate of Greece Airways, which was formed out of Electra and owned by Mr Al-Ani, albeit with only one 757 aircraft. All aircraft that have operated for Air Scotland have carried the operator's livery of White Fuselage with the Flag Of Scotland design on the aircraft Tailfin .

At the start of October to help clear the backlog, but returned to Poland empty after the pilot refused service to Air Scotland as he believed that they had not paid. Air Scotland had in fact transferred money to Air Polska's account that morning. {Link without Title}
