History
Onur Air was established on 14 April 1992. It started operations using a wet-leased Airbus A320 on 14 May 1992 with a flight to Ercan in North Cyprus. Within 11 months, three more aircraft were added to the fleet. By June 1995, Onur Air was operating a fleet of seven aircraft. By the end of 1995, it was operating nine aircraft. In 1996, Ten Tour acquired the airline. Due to recession, Onur Air had to reduce the number of the planes in its fleet to 13 in 1998, and then to nine in 1999. But once again, the fleet grew rapidly reaching the present number of 31.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Modern Western thought will pass into history and be incorporated in it, will have its influence and its place, just as our body will pass into the composition of grass, of sheep, of cutlets, and of men. We do not like that kind of immortality, but what is to be done about it?”
—Alexander Herzen (1812–1870)
“Anyone who is practically acquainted with scientific work is aware that those who refuse to go beyond fact rarely get as far as fact; and anyone who has studied the history of science knows that almost every great step therein has been made by the “anticipation of Nature.””
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
“Every literary critic believes he will outwit history and have the last word.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
