History

Avies was established and started operations in 1991 and operated scheduled passenger transport, charter and air taxi services.

However, the remaining flights from Lennart Meri Tallinn Airport to Kuressaare Airport, Kärdla Airport and Stockholm-Arlanda were suspended on 1 April 2016, after the airline's operating license was withdrawn by Estonian Civil Aviation Administration for a duration of six months over security concerns.[3]
