History

The airline was established by Mehmet Nazif Günal in 1997 and started operations on 30 November 1997. Transatlantic services began in 1998 with a flight from Frankfurt to Toronto, followed by scheduled services to the United States on 8 November 1998. In mid-2002, passenger operations were added. In 2005, MNG won an award from Airbus for 100% reliability on the 30-year-old Airbus A300. In 2006, MNG ceased all passenger flights with cargo only flights are being continued.[2] In 2008, MNG Airlines acquired the Slovenian cargo company Solinair.[3]

In 2020, MNG began the operation of its twice-weekly freighter service linking Cologne Bonn Airport (CGN) in Germany and John F. Kennedy International (JFK) in New York. The new flight is an expansion of the carrier's routes flown from CGN, which include flights to Istanbul Atatürk Airport (ISL) on behalf of Air France, and Tel Aviv Ben Gurion Airport (TLV) for its own operations.[4]

On Aug 09, 2023, MNG Airlines (MNGA) Cancels New York Stock Exchange Listing.[5]
