It operated both scheduled and charter services along with sightseeing and cargo flights. It also carried aout all ambulance flights from and to Vestmannaeyjar.
In 2001 it started scheduled flights between Vestmannaeyjar and Bakki, and 30.000 passengers were carried on this flight each year. With the impending opening of a new harbor and ferry terminal close to Bakki airport and with dwindling business the airline ceased operations in May 2010.[1]
