The company unsuccessfully bid for air access rights to the island from the St Helena government,[2] subsidised by the British Department for International Development (DFID).[3] Atlantic Star planned to operate services from London, down to the island and on to Cape Town with a Boeing 757-200 aircraft provided under a wet lease agreement.[4][5][6][7] HistoryAtlantic Star Airlines was incorporated as a private limited company in England & Wales on 20 November 2012.[8] In June 2013 Atlantic Star Airlines announced that it planned to offer weekly direct flights from London to St. Helena with a fuel stop most likely at Madrid–Barajas Airport,[9][10] and a weekly flight from St Helena to Cape Town.[4] According to Atlantic Star Airlines, any airline starting on the new St Helena route would need financial subsidies during the first years of operation while passenger numbers pick up.[9] In July 2015 the airline announced that negotiations to use a Titan Airways aircraft had been terminated and this will cause a delay to the proposed service.[11] In October 2015 Atlantic Star Airlines announced that their new leasing agreement would be with TUI fly Netherlands, who will operate a Boeing 737-800 on the route from London Gatwick Airport to St Helena, via a short fuel stop in Banjul, Gambia. The two-class configuration will offer Economy and Economy Plus seating options. In the same month, Atlantic Star also confirmed the details of its first flight.[12] It planned to depart in the late evening of 20 March 2016, arriving mid-morning in St Helena the following day. The aircraft will then leave St Helena around lunchtime, to arrive back at Gatwick that night. The second service will operate to a similar schedule, leaving Gatwick on 3 April to arrive in St Helena on 4 April, departing St Helena the same day to arrive at London Gatwick late that night. The dates required rescheduling due to a delay in the opening of the airport.[13] In October 2016 the airline trialled the use of an Avro RJ100 aircraft at St Helena.[14] PlansIn early 2018 the airline surveyed the demand for two charter flights between London and St Helena and back, one before and one after Christmas 2018. The plans for such flights were abandoned since although there was fairly high demand from Britons to visit St Helena in Christmas, rather fewer St Helenians wanted to visit UK, so the corresponding flights would have insufficient passengers.[15] In November 2018 the airline announced that they were going to lease an Airbus A320 from Titan Airways to operate on St Helena to London via Banjul, both starting on 1 March 2019.{{cn|date=November 2018}} In January 2019 the airline announced that they would start flights to Johannesburg (via Windhoek) and Ascension Island only if there were lots of passengers wanting to fly the route; that means Atlantic Star would have to lease an aircraft. On 13 January they decided to start those flights one a week to each airport starting in the 2019-2020 summer season.{{cn|date=January 2019}} DestinationsAs of November 2018 Atlantic Star Airlines will sell tickets to the following destinations:
As the company is not protected by ATOL, ticket sales were handled by a separate company, TravelPack Limited, on behalf of Atlantic Star.
