History

The airline was established on 26 May 1989 and started operations on 26 February 1990. It was set up with a 45% shareholding by Alitalia in response to the needs of the flag carrier to develop the leisure travel market. The original shareholding was divided between Alitalia (45%), Olivetti (45%) and Sao Paulo Finance (10%). There have been several changes of ownership since.
Long-haul operations started in 1998 and in 2000 Alitalia acquired full control. In 2003 the company was privatised with 80% being sold to the Banca Profilo Spinnaker fund, which bought the remaining shares in July 2004. In the same year Eurofly set-up a base in Sharm el Sheikh with two Airbus A320-200 aircraft operating charter flights between there and several airports in Italy.

Destinations

A seasonal three times weekly A330-200 service from Bologna, Naples and Palermo to New York (JFK) started in February 2005 and a five times weekly service from Rome.
Direct flights between Pescara and New York are to be introduced from May 2007, but will operate with a stop in Bologna, due to the short runway at Pescara ^[3] They also fly to Indira Gandhi International Airport in Delhi, India
