[edit] History

The company was first called Catair, derived from CAT (CATalonia) and AIR. Today Catair Lineas Aereas is the name of the holding company.[citation needed]

The airline started operations on 1 October 2006 with 3 Airbus A320 aircraft operating 5 routes from its Barcelona hub. [2] The company was founded from initial capital investment from Cobra, Iberia, Iberostar, Nefinsa and Quercus Equity (Group Agrolimen), each with a 20% share. [3] Although Iberia holds a 20% stake in the airline, it controls 80% of its economic rights. The company has plans for the operation of 30 Airbus A320s on 70 routes, carrying 10 million passengers a year by the end of 2008[1]
