The application for an air operator's certificate for Air Antwerp was secured in 2019 by the Transport and Mobility department.[2] On 9 August, Air Antwerp confirmed that the flight permit and operating permit had been received.[citation needed] It was owned by CityJet (75%) and KLM (25%).[3]
The first flight operated on 9 September to London City Airport.[4] A few former employees of VLM Airlines worked at Air Antwerp, helping with the preparatory work. The first aircraft, which was shown to the public on 27 July 2019, was previously part of the VLM Airlines fleet.
In October 2019, Air Antwerp joined the European Regions Airline Association.[5]
In May 2021, CityJet handed all its shares to KLM. At the same time, Air Antwerp announced it would put its sole aircraft into storage with no plans to resume its scheduled route in the near future.[6] In June 2021, Air Antwerp announced it would cease operations altogether.[7]
