Saicus Air was acargo airline based inMadrid,Spain. It took overFlyant aircraft after that airline ceased operations in 2008.[1]
After ceasing operations in December 2008Flyant Cargo was sold to New Iberital, a Catalan logistics group, for the symbolic amount of one Euro. The group continued on the cargo business and named the new airlineSaicus Air. Cargo operations began in October 2009, mainly coveringPeninsular Spain and theCanary Islands.[1]
In 2010 Saicus Air made an attempt to begin passenger services. It announced that it intended to acquire twoMcDonnell Douglas MD-87 formerly operated byPronair. Only one of the planes, however, became part of the fleet in July 2010. In November 2010 Saicus Air announced that it would be in charge of runningBissau Airport inGuinea Bissau and that it would inaugurate twice-weekly passenger flights betweenBissau,Las Palmas andMadrid.[2] However, in the first week of December 2010—less than a month after revealing its ambitious projects—the airline ceased operations.[3] Its MD-87 was apparently abandoned atAdolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport at that time.[4]
