History
The company's main objective is to operate in the market of scheduled regional flights on the northeast region of Brazil, connecting its major centers.[2] It was founded in 2009 and on May 14, 2010 the National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC) granted the final authorization to start operations.[3] Flights began on June 14, 2010.[4][5]
On October 1, 2010, Noar started an operational agreement with Gol Airlines in which Noar acted as a feeder carrier for Gol at Recife.[6] This agreement was suspended in September 2011.
Following operational complications after its July 13, 2011 accident, on September 20, 2011 Noar requested to ANAC the temporary suspension of its services.[7]
On November 26, 2014 Noar lost its operational license.[8]
