History

The airline was established in 1991, but in name only, serving as the ground handling agent at Asmara International Airport and at Assab and Massawa and sales agent for other major airlines flying to Eritrea. In May 2002 it was decided to expand into airline services. Eritrean Airlines took delivery of their first aircraft, a leased Boeing 767-300ER, in April 2003 and started services from Asmara to Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Milan, Nairobi and Rome. A second Boeing 767 was leased in mid-2004. In 2005 Eritrean Airlines began services from Asmara to Djibouti and Dubai, meanwhile the service to Nairobi was dropped. The lease of the second Boeing 767 seems to have been replaced by an Airbus 320 in 2006 and then replaced with a Boeing B757 in early 2007 and yet again replaced with a DC-9 in late 2007^[2]. Meanwhile the flights to Amsterdam seem to have been dropped while flights to Milan remain only seasonal^[3].

Eritrean Airlines received permission from the civil aviation authority of Pakistan to start 2 flights a week each for Karachi and Lahore.^[4] The deal does not seem to have materialized since then. Neither countries' airliners had added each others destinations to their routes list. Since December 2006, the destinations of Milan and Amsterdam seem to have been dropped.
