Founded in 1993 by Tabani Group of Investors,[2] Aero Asia started its operations as a scheduled passenger and cargo air service to its domestic and international destinations in Gulf states.[3] Aero Asia was noted as a Low-cost carrier with wide usage of jet aircraft and jumbo jets.[4] In 2006, Aero Asia was acquired by the British Regal Group from the Tabani Investors but soon failed to provide safety guidelines to its customers.[5]
The managerial, corporate management issues, and financial problems led to the airline's suspension by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) on 10 May 2007.[6] Its previous management's issues relating to the operating compliance on CAA terms and its customer's safety guidelines failed to respond to repeated warnings over a lengthy period.[6] Despite speculations on resuming its operations, the Aero Asia's corporate office's spokesperson confirmed its financial collapse.[7]
