Neos was established on 22 June 2001, as a joint venture between two tourism companies, the Italian Alpitour S.p.A. and the German TUI Group. Revenue flights were launched on 8 March 2002. In January 2004, Alpitour bought all of TUI Group's shares, making Neos a fully owned subsidiary of Alpitour no longer affiliated with TUI.[7][8]
In January 2011, Neos' fleet was increased in size to six aircraft. In 2014, Neos ordered three Boeing 787-8s.[9] These orders were later converted into four larger 787-9s for then to be added in 2020 with another two taken up from Norwegian Air International. Neos became the first Italian operator of the Boeing 787 when its first 787-9 entered service on 25 December 2017.[10][11] Neos also received later its first two Boeing 737 MAX 8 on 30 March 2021 for then to later receive another two on 8 June 2021 adding the tally then to overall four 737 MAX 8 to the fleet.[citation needed]
