Star Airways Heavy Knit Quarter-Zip Sweatshirt
Product Details & Size Guide
Remember Star Airways, the Tirana-based carrier whose brief 2010 operations became a distinctive chapter in Albanian aviation history. Founded in 2008, it planned links beyond Italy, including routes to several cities around the region, but began flying with MD-82 jets supplied by another airline. Two leased Airbus A320s never entered its service, and its license was withdrawn in summer 2010. This quarter-zip sweatshirt suits collectors who appreciate the details behind Albania's short-lived post-2000 airlines.
Star Airways was an Albanian airline based in Tirana, founded in 2008 by Albanian and Italian investors. It received its operating license in June 2009. The company took delivery of its first Airbus A320-231, registered ZA-RED, on 3 April 2010; the aircraft had previously been operated by Mexico's Mexicana de Aviación. A second Airbus A320-211, formerly operated by Nouvelair, arrived in May 2010. Both aircraft were obtained through leasing company ILFC, but Star Airways did not receive approval to operate them. Instead, it began flight operations on 7 June 2010 with two McDonnell Douglas MD-82 jetliners supplied by ItAli Airlines. Initial scheduled services linked Tirana with several Italian cities. Plans also named Istanbul, Antalya, Thessaloniki and Düsseldorf as possible additions to the network. In summer 2010, Albania's aviation authority withdrew the company's operating license, and all flights stopped in September. The two A320s never entered Star Airways service, while the MD-82s operated on its behalf. The airline is listed among Albania's defunct carriers.
