History
Air Vallée was founded in June 1987 to promote the commercial development of Aosta airport. In June 1988, a twice weekly link with Rome was started with a Beechcraft King Air C90. The King Air was replaced in October 1989 with a Cessna Citation I and another twin jet was acquired. Both were replaced by a Learjet 31 acquired in January 1992 and a Beechcraft King Air 200 was acquired in August 1993.
In the summer of 2010, Air Vallée restarted operations, offering domestic flights from Rimini as well as a weekly flight from Perugia to Olbia on Sardinia. A single Dornier 328 Jet should be in use for these flights.
The airline previously had its head office on the propertty of Aosta Airport in Saint-Christophe, Aosta Valley, near Aosta.[3]
In early 2012, Air Vallee announced a plan to expand the destinations they operate, so they sold a significant number of tickets to Romania. Subsequently achieving an aggressive campaign to promote the company has canceled all those flights, but not returned until now the price of these tickets.
