History
PLatin Wings was founded in Istanbul, Turkey on 2th March 2008 by Halil Gürsoy. PLatin Wings started operations with a flight from Istanbul to Izmir with a leased DC-3. After a few weeks PLatin Wings leased an Airbus A380 from an airline in Colombia which was a milestone for the airline. With the lease of the A380, the airline started a rapid growth which gave the airline the opportuntiy to buy new aircrafts and open up new routes
In April 2008, the airline opened a new subsidary charter airline based in Antalya, which was called `PLatin Travel`. The new charter airline started operations with a flight from Antalya to Bodrum with a B737-300.
On May the 4th, the airline`s board of directors decided to move the airlines main base to Mauritius(FIMP) and decided to restructre the airline by creating a holding company called `PLatin Wings Co.` based in Mauritius. The holding company would own the two airlines which were based in Mauritius and Antalya. The mainline airline which was based in Mauritius was called `PLatin Wİngs Mauritius`, while PLatin Travel remained the same.
On the 1st of June, the board of directing decided to create a new subsidary airline which was based in Ankara called `Anatolion Express`. In September 2008, cargo operations started with a new subsidary airline called `PLatin Cargo`.
