History
The company started in May and was formally announced in June 2004. In December 2004 the airline began operations from the Kaunas International Airport after it bought one Saab 340B aircraft. In June 2005 scheduled services were added between Palanga, Copenhagen, and Hamburg. After its rival, Air Lithuania went bankrupt in November 2005, Amber Air was expected to take over Air Lithuania's routes to Oslo and Billund Airport. However, due to financial strains, Amber Air operated only one scheduled flight, Hamburg–Palanga, which it dropped in September 2006. In October 2006 the Amber Air aircraft was not allowed to take off due to the company's indebtedness; in January 2007 its aviation license was suspended and the company filed for bankruptcy.

Famous quotes containing the word history:

—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“Don’t give your opinions about Art and the Purpose of Life. They are of little interest and, anyway, you can’t express them. Don’t analyse yourself. Give the relevant facts and let your readers make their own judgments. Stick to your story. It is not the most important subject in history but it is one about which you are uniquely qualified to speak.”
