On 30th July 2010, Albastar obtained its Air Operator Certificate (AOC-E-106) and the Commercial Operations licence to transport passengers and cargo.

In 2014 the company establishes its operational base at Milan Malpensa Airport. Over the years and thanks to the collaboration with major Tour Operators specialising in pilgrimages and religious trips, Albastar has successfully established itself as the top European carrier for connections to Lourdes, with flights departing from over 45 European airports, and it is precisely from this destination that the airline began its scheduled air services in 2015. ...
