4YOU Airlines was [3] a Polish virtual airline owned by tour operator Alfa Star.[4]
History
4YOU Airlines started operations in spring 2014 by offering leisure charter flights mainly to the Mediterranean.[5]
In September 2014, 4YOU Airlines temporarily suspended their charter operations to prepare their rebranding into a scheduled carrier.[6] They are expected to resume service with their new route network in November 2014 despite issues with ticketing and the Civil Aviation Office.[7] It has been claimed that 4YOU Airlines sells tickets before actually having the necessary licenses to operate their routes on offer.[2] On 27 September 2014 4YOU Airlines ceased operations.
Destinations
Before their bankruptcy 4YOU Airlines planned to establish bases at Łódź Władysław Reymont Airport and Rzeszów–Jasionka Airport to offer flights from there mainly to European metropolitan destinations.[5] The route network has been announced as follows:[8]

- Łódź - Łódź Władysław Reymont Airport Base (begins 2 November 2014)
