Common Sky, formerly named MAP Jet,[1] is an Austrian aviation company headquartered in Linz[2] that offers aircraft, crew, maintenance and insurance (ACMI) services as well as business jet charters.[3]

History

In January 2010 MAP Jet founded Austriair, a new scheduled airline based at Vienna International Airport which planned to operate with Bombardier Q400 and Embraer 195 aircraft leased from Augsburg Airways.[4] The first planned routes would have led from Vienna to Munich and Frankfurt.[4][5] In April 2010 however, they cancelled their scheduled operations project.[6] One reason given was a lawsuit claim from Austrian Airlines due to possible trademark violations.[4]

In 2012, MAP Jet was rebranded and received its current name Common Sky.[7][1]

In January 2018 it has been announced that Common Sky will provide scheduled operations under the new brand flyservus from Crotone Airport to domestic destinations within Italy as well as London Luton Airport from March 2018.[8][9]
