History

The airline was established in 2005 as Izmir Hava Yollari by a group of businessmen from İzmir. It started operations on 14 June 2006.

All IZair flights were marketed under the Air Berlin Turkey brand,[2][3] a cooperation between Air Berlin and Pegasus Airlines, between 2012 and 2013. The brand was abandoned in 2013.

On 29 February 2012 the last remaining Airbus A319-100 was returned to the lessor.
