History

The airline began operating as an air taxi company, Interisland Air Services, in 1986. In 2004, it acquired two 36-seater Yakovlev Yak-40 aircraft and in December 2004 started operations as Interisland Airlines. It is owned by Consuelo Helgen (President), Gloria Belen, Luc Helgen (Chairman), Lydia Dizon (Chief Financial Officer) and Marcelo Pervera.[2]

On March 30, 2010, the airline was added to the European list of banned air carriers. A month later on April 23, its air operator's certificate was revoked following a fatal accident involving an Antonov An-12 that had occurred two days earlier.[3]
