TransAer International Airlines was an Irish charter airline headquartered in the TransAer House, Dublin Airport, Dublin, Ireland.^[1]

History

The airline was previously known as Translift Airways.^[2]^: 104 It was established in October 1991 and started operations in February 1992.^[2]^: 105 Renaming took place on 10 April 1997.^[2]^: 104 It was the brainchild of P. J. McGoldrick (who later went on to run Ryanair and EUjet).^{[citation needed]}

The airline operated a number of Airbus A300B4 and Airbus A320-200 aircraft.^[2]^: 105 Some Boeing 727, Boeing 757 and Boeing 737-200 were also operated for a short period of time.^{[citation needed]} The company leased aircraft to Libyan Arab Airlines and Khalifa Airways.^[4]

TransAer went into liquidation on 20 October 2000.^[4] Prior to the collapse, an 18-month contract was signed in 2000 to help set up a new airline in Kosovo.^[5] The collapse was blamed on the adverse effects of the Kosovo war, a failed $18 million investment in American airline TransMeridian and losses of $14 million incurred by TransAer's German and Greek charter airline business. The business failed with outstanding debts of £30 million and made 450 employees redundant.^[6]

Two of their aircraft were impounded in Ireland by Aer Rianta the day after the airline appointed a liquidator, due to TransAer's failure to pay landing and handling fees amounting to over £200,000.
