With just days left of 2024, I started compiling a list of all of the airlines that folded over the past year. Many of these I had never heard of, but there are a few that I have flown and others that were a bit more familiar. Overall, 28 ceased operating or were folded into other airlines.
Here are all of the airlines that went out of business this year:
- Air Bucharest (Romania) (March 2024)
- Air Malta (Malta) (March 2024)
- AIX Connect (India) (October 2024)
- Albawings (Albania) (January 2024)
- Azman Air (Nigeria) (Unknown)
- Bonza (Australia) (April 2024)
- Canada Jetlines (Canada) (August 2024)
- Céleste (France) (June 2024)
- CSA Czech Airlines (Czech Republic) (October 2024) (Former SkyTeam member airline)
- Eagle Air (Iceland) (October 2024)
- Fly Arna (Armenia) (January 2024)
- FlyEgypt (Egypt) (October 2024)
- HumoAir (Uzbekistan) (March 2024)
- iAero Airways (United States) (April 2024)
- JetAir Caribbean (Curacao) (June 2024)
- Lanmei Airlines (Cambodia) (August 2024)

- OTT Airlines (China) (September 2024)
- Rex (Australia) (July 2024) *Regional flights still available.
- Tailwind (United States) (August 2024) *Still offers some charters.
- Taos Air (United States) (April 2024)
- Vistara (India) (November 2024)

Anthony’s Take: Operating an airline is not easy. Many of these seemingly obscure airlines served communities without other options or provided competition where there is now only a single carrier. RIP to all of these airlines.

Rex is Australian and their regional flying remains intact.
Fixed that. Thanks!
