in winter 2005/06 with three BAe Jetstream 32, flying on routes with less demand (like Zielona Góra
, Bydgoszcz, and Rzeszów
).
On 11 October 2007, LOT Polish Airlines announced it would cut the amount of routes Jet Air would fly, citing the lesser desirability of Jetstream aircraft as well as limited demand for these routes. In the end, this enabled Jet Air to begin its own operation as a stand-alone airline. Jet Air-branded flights began in late 2007 and the airline has since expanded the number of destinations it flies to.
Starting from October 2010, Jet Air operated flights on behalf of Ostfriesische Lufttransport (OLT) from their hub at Bremen Airport
to both Nuremberg Airport
and Brussels Airport
. These flights ceased in May 2011
.
In August 2011, Jet Air was bought by Polish company Amber Gold. Together with OLT
